Quote: Egg Chasing "Your hometown club is a big pull though.
Roby didn't leave for the NRL, nor did Lockers. Would SW coach another club? He didn't even want to play for another club.
Of course we're a bigger pull than Salford but he is quite literally a legend there.'"
Three very different examples than Watson moving to us. To start off all three were at larger clubs and had every chance of achieving everything they wanted in the game. Roby and Lockers might not have wanted to go to the other side of the world, but I'm sure they wanted a chance to be consistently successful.
Would Wane coach another SL club? Probably not as he's already sat at the top of the tree. He'd definitely coach an NRL club tho as that's the next step.
I'm genuinely rooting for Watson here btw. Imo he's got two choices - continue to try the same as he is I.e overachieving, but having to see guys like Hastings, Bibby, Jones, Evalds, Dudson move on. Or go to a top side and potentially unlock a decade of competing at the top. After that he might get snapped up for a top NRL job and continue to grow that way.
It's harsh, but maintaining Salford as a top team is a hell of a lot more hard work than it seems as the cards are stacked against him.
