Andy Farrell

Seeing as he been talked about on other threads thought would put theses picks on from the London game



He's massive

even make me look small

He might come back as coach one day but I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed in Union like Shaun Edwards.

not a chance

Not as a player.

Might do one day as a coach.

He's been offered a coaching role at Saracens.

can't see it my self, , if he is to start coaching in union he'll stay for a long time

Who say say that with any certainty?Anything is possible.

Indeed. However, why would anyone turn their back on RU when it is in a different universe in terms of exposure and earnings potential? We need to acknowledge that, irrespective of what you like watching on the field, we are microscopic compared to RU.

Farrell could return and be a big fish in our little pond but if he has a chance to continue swimming with the big boys don't be surprised if he takes it.

he is huge, saw him at liverpool airport with his mrs and kids a few months ago, he was on my flight, not only tall but flamin built!

I wouldn't say its quite that black and white!

While his earning potential long term may be greater in Union, i think short term he cold command more at Wigan, given the nature of his service and the respect he commands.

He has been offered a coching role at Sarricens apparently which i am sure he will take (makes you wonder if they have had the foresite to offer him this deal in order to retain Owen), but it will be a junior coaching position, it will not be as a headcoach straight from the off.

While the earnings at the top of the game are greater in union given the Farrell legend i am sure he would walk into an assistants role at Wigan and in the short term at least command a better sallary than he could as a junior coach at Sarries. Union is not on a domestic level a cash rich sport, they cannot throw money at individuals who are not at the top of there discipline.

P.S. UK Dave, why did you not just ask him you were stood next to him, or are those pictures a fake, did you simply sneak into a preview unvieling of the KC statue?

Quite so, Jonh, but the RU ladder has many more rungs on it. We're talking potential knighthoods here!

So why not start at the bottom of that rugby union ladder, coaching rugby league!!

Ah, yes. The ladder that gets you onto the other ladder!

I believe it is reffered to as a stepping stone.

No chance.

The pics are genuine and could ask any questions as he was mobbed by wigan fans

I'd be suprised if we didn't see him back here one day as head coach.

It may be 10,15, 20 years down the line but i reckon it'll happen.

Mr wigan legend

There is a chance, he has a good relationship with IL.

People always point to the Edwards/Faz dream team, but there is a chance they might not even work together, both men's ego's might not allow it.

One thing is for sure, whenever Noble leaves only one of those two men would truely satisfy the fans. Much like Alan Shearer @ Newcastle.

IL will do his best to get him back at Wigan. Its down to Faz really and what his ambitions are.

I personally think it would be sooner rather than later to be honest if it is ever going to happen, once the Union guys get there hooks into and his earnings increase he may well remain there for life most do.

I would think once his deal and Owens finish at the end of the next union season that is the time to make a move for him.

The one exception being Edwards potentally as he has met all his goals in union or will have in the near future which is phenominal for such a short time in the game as a coach, and this may very well help us lure him back to the club.

i have a dream!

Edwards as head coach and farrell as assistant @ wigan

Faz is a Wigan legend as a player, but he hasn't coached! Good player doesn't always equal good coach, for the sake of the team I'd sooner have Edwards or Wayne Bennett, both excellent proven coaches.
