Rumour has it EOC will end up at St Helens as an assistant. Bit of a backward step in some ways as he was assistant at Catalans but it is on his doorstep. As Wigsy says, travelling down the M62 three or four times a week can't have been fun. He's also in the box seat if Saints decide to sack Wellens who's looking increasingly Cunningham-esque in the coaching stakes.

I'd have thought the newly appointed Lee Briers would be next in line if Wellens gets the sack.

Can I share the thoughts and prayers to EOC at having to travel on the M62 a few times a week. He battled that minor inconvenience with dignity.

The weird thing about that is how he seemingly had little issue with working for a club in the South of France...

I'm no expert on geography, but I believe Perpignan is considerably further away than Lancashire

Presuming he didn't have to drive there from his home in England each day though..........

I think the fact we trained in the evenings is probably why it's so difficult. So if he's a young family, he's probably setting off just while they're finishing school, then getting home when they're in bed. Those years are precious and as much as we all demand loyalty, at the end of the day rugby should always come second. You don't get that time back.

I'm guessing with the increased budget and chance to get the accolade of taking us back to SL Noble will be our man.
Plus him & Greenwood did the same with half EOC's budget last year.
