Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?
"unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened

Did you mean Faz would be a coach at Sarries or Wigan?
Interesting he was at the Wigan game on Sat rather than the rah rah international.

Into the club comes a bloke who is on the Management at Northampton RU. We started talking about Saracens and their big clear out of players. Without him knowing I was a Wigan RL Fan, he came out with...
1) Faz will be relased from his contract at Sarries, and offered a coaching job (already reported I know).'"
I presume you mean a coaching job at Sarries not Wigan?
Quote: Cheeky Boy "2) Eddie Jones coming to Wigan is a done deal (again, already rumoured, but interesting all the same)
3) He will be bringing, or will be joined by Alex Sanderson - who is a RU forwards coach.'"
Not sure what either would bring to the club particularly Sanderson who would be bored to tears I suspect. The forwards have a vastly different role in RU as I am sure you know and I am not clear what skills an RU forward coach would see as transferable to RL.
As to Jones I am dubious about this as well. I do think we need to replace Lydon as I think we need someone to oversee the player development side of the club right from junior level and into the 1st team and I don't think this is Nobbies job nor one a 1st team coach should take on anyway as they have enough on their plate.
However I don't see why Jones is qualified to do this. Sure it will get publicity but who cares about that if it doesn't work which I think would be a risk.

maybe Jones will be coming in for the remainder of the season as a director of rugby or something and will end up taking over from Noble next term after finding his feet in league, coaching is coaching just the rules are different

The only scenario that would benefit Wigan out of this would be if Jones came as Director of Rugby and Faz as Noble's assistant.
Sanderson as forwards coach? Surely not!
If we want a forwards coach then Karl Harrison is available. Not a head coach IMO but can teach some of our younger forwards a thing or two.

[quote="Doogal McQuire.":2tzw9wtk]The perception with everyone from outside the Rugby League Community is that Wigan are still the biggest name in British rugby league.

IL being "prudent" with his spending should hopefully block the Jones deal if nothing else.
It would be a crazy decision.

Anyone from Wigan is bound to want to watch rugby league. |

He was sounded out about the coaches job at Quins with Edwards when Tony Rae left the post.
He, Edwards and Offiah are regularly seen at the Stoop. |

Possibly something to do with them living in London.
For what it's worth, Faz and Edwards are regularly seen at Wigan as well. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Faz and Edwards live in the london area and Offiah is an agent some of the quins players so is seen at reserves games too. Doesnt mean they are next in line for a job. They just love watching the game like we do... |

Now that is far too sensible a post to be on here! Recant immediately!
