I keep hearing that we're looking to bring him in.
And Saints are chasing a Cardiff coach which would make the rumours more substantial....
Thoughts?

My view exactly.
I was surprised when listening to the rugby pod with jim Hamilton and Andy Goode. Goode said something about the players at northhants and Dorian west.
I’m not repeating it in case I mis heard but if Goode did say it then wow

Not only is he a great coach, but good friends with our DoR apparently
West was getting lambasted by Saints supporters along with Mallinder last season calling for their heads saying they had gone as far as they could and time for fresh ideas . We have a scrum coach in Wardy a lineout coach a backs and head coach Dave Walder plus John Wells doing defence so unless someone is going where would West fit in ?

But surely the scrum woes are more to do with the fact all our props are crocks...bar Vickers and Welsh who had to do an awful lot of work last season.
At least with Mavinga and Benjamin there now their work is eased a bit.

We played Northampton away last season not long after West had left, a few supporters around where I was standing seemed to feel that West had just been the fall guy and that the problem was with Mallinder.
I’m sure west hasn’t left Saints
Seems you're right Benji, clearly I've got some wires crossed there. But the Saints supporters in question weren't hating on him, anyway.
A lot of clubs have a forwards coach and a scrum coach. Dave Walder also has a pretty immense portfolio compared to some in his position at other clubs.
If West was coming I am sure it would be to use an experienced, proven coach, whose club mentality is similar to those values Deano is trying to foster, in a role where he shares the workload rather than replacing anyone.

Its certainly an interesting to watch..

Forwards Coach: Micky Ward
Defence Coach: John Wells
Attack Coach: Dave Walder
Lineout Coach: Scott Macleod
Skills Coach (aswell as academy): Mark Laycock

So the coach that saints have been targeting as their forwards coach Danny Wilson (the Cardiff Boss ) has announced he's leaving at the end of the season...
Coincidence?
