| Do we really want to pay Salford even more fees? It would be cheaper to buy the club!
I’m easy either way: I can see Rowley getting a tune out of Leeds, equally I’d be interested to see how a proven NRL coach would go.
Wonder when we’ll make the call.

Mid table?
You expecting a massive improvement from Smith?

I'd be happy with either too. On the cost of compensating Salford for Rowley, I imagine that would at least be partially offset by what we'd save by not paying out Mr Arthur's wages. NRL head coaches don't come cheap.

| I remember Rowley at Leigh and I hated that team, not sure if he has reimaged himself but his Salford team are a good watch and certainly can coach, Arthur obviously has the NRL head coach exp but comes with more risks IE homesickness etc. Its a tough call but I will be happy with either I reckon

| Think both tick the "good guy" box as RS himself did.
Arthur might only come for a couple of seasons, I'm not too bothered about it being longer than that as long as we get the squad fixed and start competing towards the top again. We had several coaches involved in our successful era previously.
If it was either coach I'd be pretty happy, I think Rowley's well thought of and players seem to respond to him. Could still be a leftfield third choice, if Arthur was too expensive and Rowley didn't want to come. It does look to me like we have prioritised Arthur first. Suppose we'll have an update over the next couple of weeks once the international weekend is done?

| I'd imagine we'd want to get it sorted fairly quickly. I know we're only halfway through this season, but there are a few recruitment decisions to be made for next season, and we've shown in the last year or so that we have been able to move on contracted players to create space. Rowley would have an edge in having strong views about the quality (or otherwise) or our current squad, but Arthur might be an attraction for NRL players.

| According to Aussie Media, Arthur has also had conversations about coaching the new NRL expansion team, likely based out of Perth. His partner is originally from Perth too.

What amazes me is that some still have the knives out for him even though he's now gone, move on, start sharpening them for the next mistake....

| I don’t think RS would be gone now without fan pressure. The club seemed reluctant to sack him. Been mixed messages about his performance from players but overall he seems to have been popular internally.
I do think we’re ready for another voice and approach personally though.

| I reckon the longer we wait for the club to announce a new coach, the less likely it will be Rowley. It's still early days in the process, as I'm sure the club would have been fully focussed on last Friday and not wanted any distraction. If it is to be PR, you'd think it would be a pretty straight forward negotiation, given Salford allowed him to talk to Hull a few weeks back, and we could expect an announcement this week. This is assuming he'd be interested in the job, of course. If it gets to Thursday and we still haven't herd anything, my money is on Arthur/NRL candidate. But who knows?

| It may be Rowley, it may be Arthur, it may be someone else. At this stage, whoever it might be, I think the key thing is I trust Blease to make the appointment far more than GH.
Arthur is getting his name out there, but ultimately if it's an NRL expansion team, he'll likely be waiting until 2027 to actually be coaching again.
