This happened with Watson and we made a huge error with the 2nd choice, absolute key that we don't make that error again.

Think it has to be an NRL assistant or out of work ex NRL coach.

As he is under contract, I think the first approach, by the rules, has to be to the club. ‘Tapping up’ and all that.

As somebody new to the role, I think adhering strictly to the rules was a good choice by Myler. Maybe he’ll learn how to make informal, indirect soundings in the future. The issue really is that somebody blabbed when it was only just put in the oven.

At the end of the day, none of this speculation has come from the club. Everything has played out on RL click bait and social media.

No one actually knows what was or wasn’t offered or discussed.

I’m just happy in the knowledge that change is coming and, reading between the lines, it’s on the back of incoming investment.

Unless Rowley has no agent..
Therefore they would have to approach Salford first.
We need to break the bank,in my opinion to get Wane, Maguire or Holbrook.
Signing a NRL assistant is a gamble, unless Myler can identify if the applicant has leadership and management skills in the interview.

Still seems to have gone too far and tool too long IMO.

Agree with the rest, need to make the right appointment, McNamara won't come, certainly not now after being 2nd choice. The also need to move pretty fast as the May deadline coming up and don't want to be behind other teams.

Indeed and that is exactly what I was thinking this time yesterday when the fee for Rowley was being reported.

Too many people putting 2+2 together and getting 5? No direct quotes from anyone?

No direct quotes from Rowley?

Just a statement from Salford saying our approach had been rejected and Rowley was committed to their project.

You know very well it doesn't work like that, no clubs follow this and go through agents early.

Could this be Salford holding out for more money?

Obvs they want the best money they can get for him. So they reject the offer hoping we offer more, knowing we have investment coming in and are willing to offer more for him.

If we don't offer more, they get to keep their prize asset. If we do, they're quids in.

Look at Brodie croft, signs a 8 year deal then leaves, Dupree,l wants to leave , Salford say no,.reject offers then he leaves for higher price.

Just a thought

Could be and that was my thought yesterday?

But Rowley has more to lose than players although we haven’t had any direct quotes from him which I find quite strange?

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ke-9242443 Pretty concerned our preference is to target a domestic coach. The coaches listed in the article I don't think would help. Mcdermott. Just no. Strange and devisive individual. Ward. Can't see him leaving Rovers, if he plays his cards right he could take over from Peters in a season or 2. McGuire. Just can't see a Leeds legend and Rovers fan favourite and former coach working out. I hope we go overseas tbh
