He had an amazing game in the MPG for Catalans at Leigh which I am sure has stuck in the minds of the coaching staff there. He is a reliable and 100% player. Not game-breaker but is a local lad to the area. Solid pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are to stay up, it will take an approach similar to Watson at Salford i.e. getting a team of cast offs with points to prove to be more than the sum of their parts. Tierney is the perfect kind of player for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rob, I think that Paul Rowley was an important part of Watson's success, very coincidental that Salford's fortunes changed and their offense was so much improved when Rowley arrived there. Would you consider, or more to the point would Mr Beaumont consider bringing him back, as an assistant to John Duffy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areas like bolton and Manchester could yield big returns in the future. Have you ever tried fishing in a swimming pool ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have him back, whether Rowley himself would want to come back is another question though. I agree that he was the final piece of the coaching jigsaw for Salford though.

Wigan do spread its wings. They have recently added 2 scholarships from Whitehaven. I'm guessing this happens with other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just putting to bed rl players have to come from a rugby area there is a long list of players who have played our sport from non rugby( I will class both codes as areas) playing areas, and clubs need to cast their nets wide to maximise their junior development. There are hundreds of areas close enough that will with time and effort produce players to put in the mix for all levels of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
