Wonder if Marshall has it in his contract that he's not allowed to spend anything on players no matter how much central funding he earns for Fax's owner to pocket.

Good appointment - ideal for continuity.

Cmon Atomic ,if Rowley couldn't handle King Degsy, what chance has Mr Jukes got?Mr Jukes will ask King Degsy who he wants to kick goals and who drops out of the 17,only Degsy knows this.

It's probably more true than ever that Derek needs to see results this year with the investment made. I would think he'll be watching this one very closely to see how it develops. The appointment is a good thing in that existing employees keep their employment.

I hope in his first press conference he clarifies what his stance is on Claphams!!! The fans need to know!

Matt Parish left long before Dr Koukash was heard of in rugby league circles.

Out of any coach leaving for 'personal reasons' none of them have declared that they won't be saying anything further ' in private '.

Well that goes to show you what a fine young man Paul Rowley is.

The two year gap is just a technicality. I still blame Koukash..........

Well .... that's my credibility done for. Taxi!

Definitely the right decision.
