[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 699978, member: 34990"] Depends how far back you're willing to look, we've produced some fantastic players, and coaches, over the years. Charlie Hodgson is one of the best 10s to have ever played in the premiership, for example, and Jim Mallinder is doing a stellar job at Saints and will be one of the names in the hat when Lancaster gets the boot (which he'll receive from Fran Cotton - another Sale man :p). We were also the club that spotted Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe and brought him across to England, to his first pro contract. We may not have produced as many big big stars as the likes of Tigers, but we do alright for them oop north, and most clubs have a smattering of players that have come through our system and then moved on to a more 'fashionable' club.
