He's looking for work now. Who wants him here?

Too much water under the bridge I think. Anyway, our defence is looking ok isn't it? Can't see what he'd bring to the party. So, no, I'm out.

Is he not still involved at Saracens?

I wouldn't have him after he was named as part of the operation that lured Sam Burgess.

I don't blame him personally for that. He worked for Union, so it was his job.

But could we really trust him not to look for a way back at the first opportunity, and maybe take someone with him?

If he can still run the good Doctor will have him at Salford.

No thank you we do not need him leave him down south.

No call for a Rugby Union coach here. He may have been a league player but he's not been in this sport for 10 years and times change.

Adding the fact that we probably pay buttons in comparison to what he's been on and it's a non starter.

No thanks, let him stay where the grass was greener.

When he first started coaching with England he was still involved with Saracens, but the Saracens job was soon given up when he went full time with England.

One little twist in the tale though is that Eddie Jones the new England coach has approached Saracens with a view to taking their present defensive coach Paul Gustard to give him a role with England fulltime.

This may give Farrell a way back with Saracens, if they want him.

imo he has made his bed and nailed his colours - RL should treat him as a carrier of some highly contagious disease with no cure - same applies to Mike Ford.

If there was a vacancy I'd have him, there isn't though.

Can't him being here as he will be used to the Union salary levels

It takes some doing but that's one of the stupidest posts I've seen on here in a good long while.

He 'made his bed' carrying Wigan on his back for 10+ years. I can't honestly remember a time during any of his 350+ appearances for Wigan when he didn't give anything short of his full effort. I also can't remember him missing or ducking an international series either which is more than can be said for some 'legends' who he played against.

How easily people forget how much both he and Rads held our club together.

Quite simply a club legend who should always be welcome back.
