Not going to Hull FC. Can't see him going Leeds either. Rowley's an experienced coach and he would never put up with Hetherington telling him who's going to be sold/released and who will be bought. A coach of Rowley's calibre wants to sign and sack the players he decides upon, not the CEO or whatever title GH has given himself. There could well be better clubs with first team coaching vacancies soon which he could quite fancy.

Warrington looked good v Saints and deserved their win. Saints though had a couple of tough games prior to playing Wire. They played Wigan on Good Friday and won after a gruelling 80 mins. The following week they went to Perpignan and had another very tough game with a narrow loss. They then played another huge match in a C Cup semi final. Just wondered if the three tough games the last 20 mins against Wire caught up with them where they were completely overrun.

Initial reaction from me was that if a club can't afford to travel to Perpignan then they should relinquish their SL place. Difficult in the C Cup where a Championship or lower division club could be drawn away to Catalans but it's a RFL comp and they could surely sort that problem out. Getting Catalans to pay for opposition clubs's travel to fulfil their fixture seems just like the utterly stupid idea that only the RFL are capable of!

Lots of fans will be upset with the officials as they probably wanted Penrith to win. I thought that last "six again" with only seconds to go was tough on Wigan. A Hull FC fan sat next but one to me and when Penrith scored he jumped up, punched the air and screamed "Yes". So what's happened to the "Grapple tackle"? Marshall nearly got choked to death in one tackle. A few seasons ago that would have been a clear pen and may be a yellow card. A great night and made a real event by the Wigan club. Noticed Ivan Cleary mentioned the occasion in his pressy and suggested that the WCC should be held in this country.
