We must agree to differ as always - the move to RU and the timing was one thing and Kevin eventually wanting GH's job another - as I said desperate times call for desperate measures.


I wonder what Rob Oates thinks about these developments - it will certainly make his job a bit easier.

Can't help thinking that you have made a big mistake with Lowes. He is hardly going to portray a professional image of the club his interviews for BFd Bulls were in the crap bracket. He struggles to string a sentence together if he can't swear. Think you missed the Gareth Southgate of rugby but I for one am glad you missed him .........Richard Marshall . Think either him or Rowley could have done you a very good job . Just think what Marshall has done on financial peanuts and the development of youth . He is still on a learning curve but way higher up the hill than Lowes can achieve IMO.

Rowley just builds teams of thugs - teams in his own image.

Marshall deserve a chance as an assistant at a SL club

What about Andrew Henderson as a longer term option?

Listening to Marshall's post match interview this afternoon confirmed to me Marshall appears to have the makings of a SL coach. Extremely intelligent & articulate. However there is a delicious irony in you calling Rowley & his team thugs when Jimmy 'out in the car park' Lowes is your first team coach & you were praising his record. His record as a coach is crap & his interviews monosyllabic.

Fortunately he's just the assistant

Sal how certain are you that the fall out that you refer to regarding Sinfield supposedly had with GH is actually true?
Just asking like as I heard a completely different tale and it had nothing to do with GH what so ever

There was no fallout, its in Sal’s head

The change of personnel at HQ and the reasons behind it kind of dispel Sal's theory totally and certainly point the direction of blame regarding Sinny's exit from the club and why he couldn't wait to leave in a totally different light,especially as he has now rejoined the club

indeed.and from recent comments the other two play makers in our golden decade aren't sorry to see him go either

Re 2015, I don't care if the entire squad detested McDermott. He got that team to deliver the best season in the club's history - including early doors dropping Sir Kev for Sutcliffe.

Blame McDermott all you want for 2016 and this year (I do), but give him credit for 2015 and 2017. Otherwise be exposed as a full card-carrying hypocrite.

His job title is First team Coach. I had a man crush on Sinfield but putting someone with no official coaching experience in charge, as well as some of GH's responsibilities, along side the much failed First team Coach is a huge gamble.

Didn't Kev and co-coach JP coach the team for years though?

ROFL

Hence my deliberate use of 'official'.

Sal unless you can do much better and clarify your comments regarding how GH and Sinny actually fell out with a more reasoned response than this then IMO you're talking made up nonsense again

IMO you are clearly barking up the wrong tree with who Sinny's grievance was with

As I said we must agree to differ - as all evidence is second hand as non of us were actually in the room/meeting

Their opinions are not necessarily correct. I suppose these same play makers opinions are not coloured by having been dropped when out of form and subsequently let go. A tough but necessary decision by the manager at the time.

yep. because everybody should love and adore Brian.bit embarrassing this man crush at your age

They could be right, they could be bitter, no one on here really has any way of knowing for sure.

Why do you always make a silly personal insult when faced with an opinion that differs from yours? May point maybe wrong but so may yours.

Do you honestly believe the players in question would be bitter?
I just don't see it.

some players wil love him, some ambivilant, some will detest him.every changing rooms the same

No, I'm just pointing out that we all have opinions, but actually know very few facts.
