NFL a game invented to sell advertising space on TV not really a sport just a theatrical production.

Michael Maguire was on the coaching staff at Canberra Raiders before going to Melbourne. He had 6-7 years there as assistant. When he accepted the Wigan role he had his Head Coaches blessing. Matt Parish was an assistant for 3 years not 12 that has been previously stated.

I am a big fan of SL, used to watch a lot of games when I lived in Yorkshire in late 90's to mid 00's. I am Australian and follow the NRL

But facts are facts. Matt Parish was unemployed, he wasn't working as an NRL assistant. He was helping his food friend from school and Rugby Union Ricky Stuart with the SOO. Do some research.

Wishing him and Salford the best of luck

It was The Entrance mate in the Central Coast comp, my brother coached against him and beat him every time.

Cheers thanks for that. I knew it was on the Central Coast. I am a Qlder and love to watch the Qld Cup on TV Sat afternoons.

I hope Matt learnt a bit from Ricky and applies it to Salford. I always support the underdog and hope Salford can make the 8 this year.

Absolute balls. A game "invented" 30 odd years before John Logie Baird even dreamt about television. But don't let facts get in the way of having a pop!!

Please don't compare Parish to McDaniels!! McDaniels is a horrible arrogant little man who thought because he knew Belichick he was owed a living. When he runs our best players out of the club you can make that comparison. Until then I'll compare him to a Raheem Morris thanks!

The Broncos deserved what they got though!

Was it, do some reading up old boy, 1967 the old game went bust and NBC re-invented it to what it is today a 60 minute effort that takes 4 hours because of all the TV advertising, but then again lets not let the facts get in the way of the most tedious theatrical productions of all time.
So no NBC no game simples

Surely a similar thing could be said about most sports, including football/Sky? It wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today without tv.

I'm not going to go into it because this has gone completely off topic, but it's your opinion that it's tedious. The Super Bowl is one of the most watched televised events in the world and these days I'd much rather sit and watch a game of american football for three hours than spending 20 quid to watch a 90 minute boreathon at Boundary Park.

I like Parish.

A genuine straight-shooter who's just what Salford needed after the [ilaissez-faire [/iregime under McRae.

Well Stefan Ratchford has left....maybe he's the Jay Cutler of Salford?

Stef is much too nice a lad to be compared to that cretin! Parish hasn't quite pulled the same "run my best player(s) out of town to show the team who's boss" act that McD did.

I'm not having it!!

Parish has said all the right things from what I've read / watched / been told, but for me he has a year to show what he can actually [ido[/i. It's easy to play the tough guy or make some smart comments, but if Harrison couldn't change our club culture with brute force then I think Parish has a big task.

When I saw this interview, I immediately thought of Steve Anderson.
