Here's the BBC with an article on SL, runners & riders. The Salford part is of interest, Parker was 'fed up' with where he played.

thats the opposite of what was said when he left, that he wanted to play in one particular position rather than lock, 2nd row or prop, basically fitting in where was needed.

Bollox, Parker was disposed of to make room for Carvell.

The decision wasn't his.

I think he's the BBC's new RL correpondant, he seems during the article to be keen to let you know that he has sources & knows the coaches & players well etc, he uses nicknames and stuff like that as if to emphasise this.

Im very glad that we didn't appoint MacRae.

He is very over rated as a coach.

I said that when we were first linked with him...And i was laughed at by certain people on here..
None of them would admit to that now..

I think he is a good example of how it is hard to measure how good a coach is.

At Saints he did a good job, but then so have many coaches.

Millward did a good job at Saints, but almost ruined Wigan.

All coaches operate under different circumstances, and it is difficult, as a fan to compare.

'Look at what he did at Souths' was enough for me.
