Another one to ask to the growing rumour list, but hearing that the DJ could be taking a step back in his role at the club.

I'd imagine Smith will take control of all rugby aspects leaving Clarke to focus on the commercial side

No Dwyer... can't blame Smith going with O'connor and Leeming.

Reading on the Catalans board, they seem to be having a clear out. Around 10-12 possibly leaving.

Mentioned McNamara teaming up with his dad too....

Thought McNamara would have ended up with his Dad pre contract extension. Can see it happening at some point.

Cant see Long coming to Hull. Danny Orr would be good but depends on Tony Smith's opinion. I would hope that he has total control of all rugby matters. Fairly sure Long will be at Saints along with Wellens. Very surprised if thats not the case.

Same here. Be amazed if he doesn’t end up at Saints.
I get the feeling TS will be in charge of all things rugby, and AP even said he wants him involved in strategic decisions.

Jordan Mounsey the clubs sports therapist is the latest one to be leaving.

It's all happening

All currently speculation but I’m really happy that there’s finally been changes made behind the scenes. Leeds are a prime example that it only takes a change in back room staff to get results on the pitch. We have players with potential and I think the change up could finally start to get the best out of them

As a Saints fan, I would be very surprised to see Long back at Saints as Wellens assistant - not least because Wellens was an assistant to Long when he left originally.

It’s rumoured at the moment Laurent Frayssinous is coming in as Wellens assistant, along with Ian Talbot (our current 19s coach), with Matty Smith coaching the 19s.
