Yeas, but from what has come out from players, it sounds like training and preparation was less than adequate before MP arrived - are we to go back to where we were on that as well? Or will the players be happier if they don't have to work as hard (who needs victories and plaudits when you can have a laugh eh?)

Is there anything in this then? Or are we wll going off on one over what an aussie journo has posted on twitter? If all everything posted on twitter was taken as fact, Nasri and Sneijder would now be playing for MUFC, Justin Bieber is a sex panther, and all the X factor finalists will have platinum selling albums.

Still waiting for someone to point to a single piece of evidence to support some people's depiction of Parrish as some kind of messiah.

Personally, I feel the fad of appointing NRL assistants will be short-lived once clubs realise that not everyone with an Aussie accent and a mullet is gonna match up to Michael Maguire.

I'm not going to say he is or he isn't but if the rumours are true and he's been offered a role at the best club team in the world, then someone must rate him.

I think that is a fair comment. Whether thats good for the club is another matter.

Yes but WS has more income than outgoings unlike Salford. Hard to reverse.

Not been on for a while, have I missed something! My opinion for what its worth, Salford need to put some positive press out to kill off the twitter feeds, that will end the latest round of rumours ready for the next instalment.
Only happens at Salford!!!

Parody of soap-operas--the show's humor relies on exaggerating soap-operas' characteristic plot implausibility and melodrama to ridiculous extremes, then adds a fair bit of the truly bizarre, including some remarkable characters.
rlconfused? you will berl
nothin on us it seems

to me it feels like im stuck watching clips from question of sports what happens next.............

I am going to step out of the shower tomorrow to find we have regular crowds of 18,000 playing in an iconic stadium that is the envy of every SL club and the last ten years have all been a very bad dream.

Would be very bad news for the club if he was to leave at this stage of procedings, think I'd like to see some proof rather than gossip on some crap mass media outlet though.
For me the very real issue we will have if he goes is who if anyone will we attract as a replacement? there can only be the Kears and Nobles of this world and you have to wonder if thier heart is in another SL job if both have dropped down to lower leagues by choice.
Would be entiteled to compensation if he did go as he is on a 25 month contract? maybe we could take a couple of the Manly players and look at John Hopate who appratently is a bit miffed that Des Hasler has nicked his role.

If Parrish goes, I hope the club make a concerted push to bring in Noble.

He's not renowned for champagne rugby but commands respect has a proven record of improving every team he's coached and, moreover, is great with the media.

Just what we need IMO.

Failing that, Powell could be a good alternative.

I dread to think who we will get in if parish is shown the door / walks
I think we are dreaming if we think its going to be an established coach, it will be a recently retired player who is cheap and won't answer back exactly what we don't need

Let's just hope this is just rumour

I to hope that all this comes to nothing and it's all malicious gossip, however I am surprised that there isn't any kind of interview on the reds website to date given that he's been back a couple of weeks.......even something along the lines of a catch-up - `Matt, what's it like to be back in training etc etc. They've got one up on the official website from the assistant coach and MP can clearly be seen in the footage - was it that much of stretch to stick a microphone in his general direction?

"however I am surprised that there isn't any kind of interview on the reds website to date"

Ye gods we are not media friendly at all...I live (like many posters) away from the celestial city and so rely on the Monday RL press for updates.

In two weeks we have (two papers) our full-back to become a ref.

I know Featherstone's teams names, Oldham's plans and even Coventry's views on expansion.

Salford's kit, hopes, views on our Welsh scoring agin the convicts, the fact we have the fastest wingers in SL, MP's future, how we using our new assistant coach, the way we planning a move to Barton, the future of Moon in an area that sings Blue Moon, etc., etc.,etc.
Sweet Fanny Adams.

There' one team missing from every news item - and has been for so long : our latest major splash was Ratchford leaving.


Quietly giving up ... there's always Whitworth to watch.
