And Willie Poching made head coach at Wakey. Pleased for him.

Mixed seasons for Tony smith's old assistants

Agar doing alright at Leeds.
Poching getting a full time gig
And Marshall getting released, some may say unfairly.

Its a funny one, cos he obviously had the grim spectre of watto over achieving hanging over him, lost a couple of his better players to Salford and there's been rumours about others leaving to join Huddersfield. Can't be a good environment for him

I agree re Marshall Salford can't be the easiest environment to coach in although the expectation levels aren't all that despite Watson's over achievement as it was recognized as such.

He started badly but they seemed to improve of late

I wonder if that loss against us was the final straw. A game they could’ve and probably should’ve won.

It's a tough gig at Salford, there's a very good chance they will be looking for a new home soon. Even after getting to a grand final and Challenge Cup final they aren't winning fans over. Watson massively over achieved and set the bar higher than it should be. Plus most of their best players have left or are leaving, so it's now also a massive rebuilding job too. If they are given the Salford City stadium that could be a good move for them. I think there are troubled times ahead for Salford.

It`s looking odds on that they will be moving to Salford City Stadium.

They can`t afford the rent for their current stadium, and need to move while the soccer club require a larger capacity ground.

Seems he was a victim of Watson's success. They probably have the 11th best squad in the league and that's where they finished.
