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.

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.

IL being "prudent" with his spending should hopefully block the Jones deal if nothing else.

It would be a crazy decision.

Why?

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!

You'll be saying next that 2+2 really doesn't make 5

Well Edwards was a Rugby League player and is now Rugby Union coach. Change can happen.

But Edwards wasn't new to Rugby Union. He'd played it at a reasonably high level in his youth.

Besides, I don't think that, just because one man has made the switch successfully, others will do the same. Look at the players who've failed to cut it when they've switched codes. It's happened both ways, and it's happened a lot. Probably more have failed than have succeeded.

Don't get me wrong. I'd be interested to see Eddie Jones involved with Wigan at some level, but I don't think he could possibly be appointed head coach straight away.
