Hope Owen comes back then.

Reserve coach first. At most Assistant. No way should he be handed the reigns.

It's out the question for him to come back as a player IMO. What do we have left, 20-40k or something? About a 5th of what he's on in Union. I'd love him in on the coaching staff though however in-experienced.

bring the god home! in some capacity, whether that being player/assistant coach

he would certainly get the feathers ruffling amongst the lads and would instill instant leadership, impact prop at his best. in my opinion faz would still get in the england squad at prop.

Cant see it happening like pemps said i think he extended his contract (will find article)

would be ok in the coaching setup in a few years

Wouldnt mind Farrell coming back, but get Owen signed on a pro contract, it would be worth it.

It would seem that Farrell isn't among the 15 released at Saracens.

It isn't going to happen! Union's where the money is.

Not if he's about to be released.

Mind you, I don't know whether there's any truth in that story or not.

Personally, I'd be stunned if he came back to us as a player. He hasn't done much down there, in real terms.

But as others have said, I'd have him on the staff somewhere if only to get Owen back.

Bring Andy Farrell in as Noble's assistant coach.
He's been Noble's captain before, know each other well and both must understand what each others game plans are.
We want Silverware, Noble has won more in recent times than any other coach and we must keep him.
We could also do with a "Wigan" figure of authority in the dressing room and surely there'd be no one better than Faz.
Getting his son Owen to return would be a real bonus.
Can't see where Faz could come in as senior coach without any experience.
I'm sure even he would admit that it would be a new job in which he would need time to learn.
Noble & Faz, that would do for me!
