I think people would see Rowley is too similar to Powell. Able to work within a tight budget, bringing a disparate group of unknowns or journeymen together and able to achieve relative success…

Whether that’s transferable to make him successful at Warrington I’ve no idea?

Re: New Coach : Sun Aug 06, 2023 8:14 am  

Given that the Warrington club can't seem to keep any information quiet inside the club, the Holbrook deal being made so public means that any self respecting agent now knows what Warringtons top line offer is and so this will make negotiations all the more difficult as why would any decent coach settle for less?

Not sure that has much do with Warrington and more to do with Holbrooks management. The press in Aus are all over deals like this.

Not sure about people continuing to mention Wane though as he is at interested as Holbrooks family was to coming here in reality

What’s Rowley ever achieved? He won promotion with a Leigh team who easily had the best team in the Championship. His Salford side have lost their last six games. Leigh have kicked on and improved since he left and since he joined Salford they’ve regressed to below where they were under Watson. He’s Powell mk 2.

Why would i belive it? Wane won Super League 3 times and won a challenge cup, Powell won the Hubcap in 2017.
So your telling me if Wane was available to us at the same time as Powell, we'd look at what they've done and dismissed a proven winner for someone who isn't? Absolutely no chance that would have happened.

It happened believe me. Can you honestly see Wane getting on with Karl? Wane wouldn’t take him at all and would probably want him gone within a week. The board at Warrington are scared of how much Wane would shake things up.

The only thing in common with Powell is they are both English...the current Salford squad is small in number and hit by sales and injuries so not buying into their mini slump to justify he wouldn't be e right ... That team is more than capable at full strength of beating anyone else in the competition and he is very much is at the heart of its philosophy.. something we dont have

Shaun Wane lost Wigan over 5000 attendance figure during his take over of a very successful team. Hence his push from IL, however they want to dress it up as.
He has not displayed the qualities Wire require.
You only have to look at England to see that.

Re: New Coach : Sun Aug 06, 2023 9:29 am  

Wigan might not of played a particularly attractive brand of rugby under Wane but it was at least successful, and is it realistically any worse than what we’ve seen for the last 5-10 years? Or for that matter out of sync with the way the game is played in general these days…

Off topic, but the flair of Lachlan Lam at Leigh is an absolute breath of fresh air for super league…

Because his CV reads like a poor man's Daryl Powell and we have just sacked the actual Daryl Powell?

Love how one of his reasons is ‘his team can beat anyone in the comp on their day’. So can any team. Hudds beat Catalans away, Wakey beat us. It’s not a prerequisite for becoming a coach.
