We can’t make 4K crowds with Covid in place. So somebody is doing something wrong.

I thought he was defensive coach at Salford? Surely Watson was offence!

Then you are mistaken Atomic, Rowleys trademark is the attack, think back to his time with us as head coach, he wouldn't change the team or rotate the squad because he wanted to keep the offence playing together in his certain pattern.
It was also very very noticable and no coincidence that Salfords fortune changed and they became far more expansive when Rowley joined them, I stated on another site when Watson was leaving for the Huddersfield job that if he doesn't take Rowley along with him, he will not have the same success.

Quite right H, I think it’s still very easy to write things in hindsight. Rowls failed using as you stated no rotation. I suppose the question? Should be has he learned from that experience! Toronto for all his glory there, where soon rid of him when SL came about.

Atomic, why are you such a PR hater, he has been the best coach we have in in the last 10 years and clearly no better off than we were? explain or please leave it!

you think he was a better coach than ian millward

You should appreciate that any negative comments about Rowley have nothing to do with coaching ability.

Evo I post on facts not fiction. Rowls couldn’t make the grade as a SL coach. Champ he is the best. That’s the level.

Rowley left Toronto the season before they gained promotion, McDermott was the coach the season when they secured promotion, and as I eluded to his contribution to Salford was immense in an assistants role in SL, to me that is his level in SL, as a very very good offensive assistant, not as a head coach.
There are a few good assistants knocking about in SL e.g. Lee Briers, Sean Long, Keiron Purtill who have yet to take the heads responsibility's woukd you say they are not SL coaches?

Did Brush lave in 2011 for Cas?

I would say they have been around SL coaches. Yet none are proven at that level. Even Purtill. They are all number 2’s or 3’s.

The level of your club that you are playing at determines what level of coach is required. Does it not?

A 70 year old fella threw a team together with 2 training sessions and beat England tonight .

That’s experience at that level.

So do you feel the coach was the primary reason?

It’s a contribution of both players and experienced coaches. The emphasis on coaches not coach. Leigh got to super league in 2017 using that reason. Paul Cooke showing the way.

The lack of clarity in your thought process is astonishing!

Personally I think Haggerty has got the job for the remainder of the season. Only players being loaned out rather than brought in, I think 'the board of Directors' know that we will be back in the championship in 2022, barring a miracle or a re-structure of the leagues.
