Poor move by Salford. Paul's coaching record does not read well. He has failed in every coaching role despite enjoying the luxury of full salary cap budgets courtesy of the millionaire owners at both Leigh and Toronto.

Prior to working with almost unlimited budgets, he was the head coach when Leigh were relegated out of the Championship to the abyss of League 1. It was only the collapse of Gateshead Thunder, who finished above us, that earned Leigh an 11th hour reprieve. A lot of people forget that.

It was Rowleys 5th game today as Salfords consulting coach,
(Daft job title) including today's 44-22 Win at The KC stadium
And the Red Devils have won all of them.
Beginner's luck? We'll have to wait and see.

If anyone is still unsure of Paul's many coaching frailties they only need to watch the 2015 opening Super 8s Leigh v Hull KR fixture at Leigh Sports Village. Broadcast live by SKY TV.

I still have that match on my Sky box and the second half is one of the finest example of how NOT to coach professional Rugby League you will ever find.

Deary me , it's an absolute shocker.

Totally agree with that Harold re that HKR game, I did say he did some questionable things I didn't agree with apart from the offensive aspect, but you know if memory serves me correct not long into the second half of that game before HKR score Mickey Higham breaks the line from around our own half he has support players both left and right of him and only Kieron Dixon the HKR full back in front of him for reasons best known to Mickey he chooses not to pass the ball but to try to run over the top of Dixon who tackled him, massive opportunity lost missing another certain 6 points which at that time would have put the game to bed, is my memory correct please be honest.

I was thinking the same thing Antwerp about Salfords form since he went there, and watching the highlights of the game tonight ve Hull there were a lot of similarities to the way that Leigh used the ball under his tenure.

Was it Jackson Hastings using the ball Or Rowley?
Hastings will make Wigan unbeatable next season !

Our attacking prowess came from Millward in my opinion. Some of the moves both Leigh and Saints had under his coaching was nigh undefendable.

We did play some great stuff under Rowley but defence and lack of structure were the two main reasons why an expensively assembled team did not get promoted,

Again agreed, he definatley had his frailties but the offensive side was not one of them, that is why I said working as a number 2 under a head coach could be his making, anyway actions speak louder than words, Salford are bombing it on the points for, enough said.
