If true may spell the end for KP.

It will be interesting seeing how Purtill goes. He has a lot of experience as assistant at Huddersfield and Saints, has been head coach for England Knights, and is, I believe, highly respected in the Game.

He has already given a great interview about the academy set up and what he would do if he was gaffer at the RFL....

hopefully, now he has been given the opportunity to put his own ideas and theories into play we will see some results ( as long as KC isnt pulling the strings calling for 5 drives and a safe kick )

in my humble opinion (and experience ) most assistants in whatever industry have a sound knowledge of whats is needed/expected, and are already aware of, and are good at moderating, the mood amongst the troops as they tend to be the go betweens. They also tend to have their own ideas how things `should` be done and the really good ones given a chance, pick up the ball and crack on....

With Mickey re-signing and bringing a much needed leader back onto the pitch and Purtill free to bring fresh ideas into the gameplan, i for one am looking forward to some exiting rugby

Shaun Edwards does not know how to get a team promoted and stay in SL. We need experience. I’m going to bang the Smith drum until someone else is announced.

Viva Tony Smith

They just got confused with the name that's all, they probably don't even know that we have our own Paul Anderson, they heard the name and came up with 5.

Know what you are saying Steve.

It just wouldnt feel right - S. Edwards was the "enemy" for so many years in the 80's. - get what I mean.

Nearly every coach in super league last year was the enemy Zulu. And we ended up with Cunningham. The one nobody wanted as coach in another name

Edwards carries no credentials in this sport as a coach. You might aswell have Charlie coaching.

Cmon Atomic, give a Clown a break,I'd give it a go,I won the Fax Fantasy League,a couple of years ago,and remember ,Charlie knows.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

One thing Edwards would bring would be passion and i can imagine some his coaching to be 'raw' and 'Murpheyesque!'

All he would need in my opinion is a decent number 2 because no one can doubt his knowledge of the game as a player.

How many years was Powell on the brink with Featherstone without success. Three on the trot? Now look where he is top end super league coach Terzis was on the brink of promotion with us. Sacked too soon imo and gone into the wildernrness. I think we need look no further than Salford for the right deal and outright control of team management I reckon we could get the right man for the job in Watson

Maybe Steve, but why would he want to leave Salford?

Dont think we will get the No1 target, but lets hope

Charlie. Its ll documented that Salford are once again struggling financially without the good doctor in charge fan base is very poor with very little interest. He has asked for more funding for players. Not forthcoming. I think that Leigh. Without Cunningham would be a viable option for him. Degsts cash. Good fanbase. Without Cunningham I think and connections from past. Think thats enough for now me owd pal
