ive heard mcrea has been releaved of his dutys for a month

and who is standing in for him?

WTF???

[iThese things happen in sport

ANYWAY NO ONE PERSON IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB

Bring on Wigan Warriors if any team can beat the pie-eaters it's the Salford City Reds.[/i

I can't find anything official on this from the club.

Why would the club do this? If true I can only assume it's due to illness because many have commented on this forum about him looking unwell recently.

It has to be something to do with his health. (if this is not a wind-up). I've seen him look pretty poorly on a couple of occasions: not on Sky when he's had the benefit of make up.

Whatever his failings as a SL coach or anything else, I really wouldn't want to see the guy ill either by the stress of the job or because of just general poor health.

I heard you sign Bailey and Anderson,without giving them a proper medical.Plus they both signed deals worth £150k a year.Not a troll i work with very passionate Salford fans.

Thats absolute rubbish only the very elite players of superleague are on that kind of money.

[iOn grounds of ill health . . [/i

Lets face it the stress McRae is under is considerable .

recent results the level of expectation & our reaction won't have helped if he is feeling the pressure.

wanted McRae back down under but wouldn't want to see him 6' under

...

hope it's nothing serious.

although i can't help but feel that this is a very convenient way for all parties to get what they want. if after a month the decision is that he doesn't return, then the club gets to re-invigorate the coaching system, and Shaun McRea gets to walk away with his dignity intact without being fired or seen as a quitter.

What date is it in one months time?

If true, as much as I want to see McRae leave the club I sincerely hope any health problem isn't serious.

I'll believe this one when I see it.

hope its not too serious if true, can imagine that the stress he is under is terrible.

I'd imagine the stress for SM must be immense considering the extra money the club have spent on new players, the fans higher expectations and it and it being built up to be an historical last year at the Willows. Further to this it's such an important year for the club with franchises at stake and moving to the new stadium next year. Add to this the personal abuse he's endured recently from fans and he must feel like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders with injuries and tough Wigan and Leeds fixtures just around the corner.
