We've (Salford) have had quite a Good disciplinary record this season, Wonder how Long that'll last !!

Early this season in one of Salford's televised games Paul was in the tunnel as the teams were walking out.

Bank account must be getting low.

Say what you will and I was one to criticise him but he is the best offensive coach we've ever had, his teams going forward were a joy to watch, sone of his other tactics and strategies I found questionable, perhaps he could find his vocation working second fiddle to another head coach.

Off the cuff, easily read in the end by the SL teams. No rotation, no promotion. Teams are tougher now in the Championship then they where then.

If he was such a good offence coach, he’d have managed his squad better.

Disagree, was good to watch all this off-the-cuff stuff but more structured teams beat us regularly, the grubbiness that was regularly on show was embarrassing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'll wait and See how things go Next season on the Coaching side, He and Ian Watson will definitely earn there £s in 2020
With Messrs Hastings Jake Bibby. Josh Jones George Griffin and Darrel (Teflon hands)Olpherts
& Ben Nakubuwai moving on.
