Well i am a Swinton fan and i'll tell you now in now way would i wish to be in Salfords position, if by that you are referring to being a Super League franchise, after all that is all that is the differamce between both clubs now sadly.

At least each season we are able to play in a competition where if you do well you are rewarded and if you fail you still need to fight at the end of each season to keep your position.

in Salfords case the latter doesn't apply, what does is satisfying a criteria which ticks boxes and subsequently for a few seasons now once you have lost a few games early on your seasons are all but over.This is by no way means a dig at Salford but at the way RL has sold it's soul to sky money.

I'm more than happy to be the new boys in the Championship.!!!

I remember Salford players saying how much they were looking forward to playing under Matt when he was on his way and how they were enjoying it while he was still here. Not sure what that proves



I also remember rumours about how *some* Salford players didn't respect Shaun Mcrae's coaching abilities. Don't remember those comments from South Sydney when they were getting the wooden spoon every year under Mcrae. Not sure what that proves either

So who got relegated from the division you've just been promoted from and have been playing in each season for the last few years?

www.seaeagles.com.au/default.asp ... hing-staff I see Jamie Lyon is really happy to be working with Parish. But then again compared to the calibre of player at Salford who didn't like Parish he really is a poor judge, you know all those test and origin appearance and the Grand Final wins in both codes. Actually ignore everything I say, Jamie Lyon knows nothing about good coaching or coaches, he's never seen Simms at work.

Does actually make you think more and more that we've lost a real shot at having a quality coach, Veivers may yet be that and I hope he is but doubt he has the potential to move the squad forward like Parish would have done.

"We’re looking forward to having Matt on board,” Lyon said.



“He comes with a big wrap, and a lot of people have a high opinion of him, so I’m looking forward to working with Matt.”



So Lyon has never worked with Parish but has heard he is a good coach. What does that prove? what do you expect Lyon to say "oh yeah I heard he's rubbish"? I'm sure if you dug out quotes from Salford players prior to his arrival they would have said similar things.



None of this proves whether he is a good coach or not, it's just players saying what players say when a new coach is coming in. I'm not saying Parish is a bad coach, I've absolutely no idea as we didn't see enough of him at Salford. I would have thought that Manly could have their choice of assistants so it bodes well for him that they chose Parish. But players saying they are looking forward to working with him proves absolutely nowt

Jamie Lyon played Origin in 2010 - did they work together then?

I'm just trying to imagine the reaction on here if our board took a leaf out the Crusaders book and decided to withdraw from Superleague and reside in the championships for the reasons above.



It's not a pretty thought!

They wanted him out,because he wanted them out,he is at Manley,good luck to him.He new he would get a job.

They new they would be on the Dole.Manley get good bloke,as Jamie Lyon says.were left with Feka.I know who is laughing.

Well Feka is for sure but also Sidlow, the Adamsons and a few other young uns who need to be coached.



Really do not understand your Love In with Matt lance & DI.



Its gone - get behind what we have.

Tell me e.b,what exactly have we got.? How many of the Salford staff go to Australia for god knows for how many weeks to sign a new coach and end up 6months later losing him and to cap it all resign the coach they originally did`nt want,no wonder we are 4million in debt,a new member of the back room staff signs for another team and the club don`t know,the stadium management put blue seats in,the club did`nt know,it beggars believe.
