Interesting post that. Plenty to ponder.

Sometimes you do wonder if some of the signings and more recent contract extensions are all the decisions of the coach. We will never know.

The Rowley news came as a huge shock, he was in my view Mr Leigh.

At Salford we had a very similar situation where an extremely enthusiastic owner couldn't help but get involved in matters he was absolutely clueless about. I think some of these owners think just because they've done OK in business that they're better qualified to call all the shots. It's an ego trip for them and they can't help but befriend/socialise with the bigger named players. The problem is they become too approachable and an owners ear can be extremely disruptive to what a coach is trying too achieve.


Fortunately for us it seems the penny has eventually dropped with Dr Koukash after leaning a very hard lesson.

Are you assuming that?.....or Confirming that? Either way you seem to know what the problem was.

You have to laugh at the timing Something that happened back in September and they hit us with it today in the middle of all this. Wednesday - McNally out for who knows how long.

Saturday? - Derek decides he's had enough and Rangi Chase runs off to join the Circus (no, not back to Salford!) Never a dull moment

I know it's like the needle is stuck, but we really do need to improve on last season's disciplinary record. This suspension/fine is just another example of that.
