on the other hand if they got rid of walters and mcrae and gave some young british coaches the chance to develop then that would be fine with me

Me too , but will it happen ?

Franchise propaganda item 1

Clubs will not have to worry about relegation so will not have to make rash decisions with regards to employing foreign players and coaches , but will be able to give both junior players and coaches time to get things right

Yeah right

Although, if fans leave in droves because of crap performances the option must be there to take. (along with cutting the players themselves who are surely more responsible) There's a few worried Chairmen around at the moment.

No doubt there are especially with a lot more players on long term contracts with no ' relegation ' clause in them

Then they should put performance clauses in.

eg, Clause iv, Subsection f:

"If you're shit, pack your backs - it's not a holiday camp"

......... or words to that effect

Could someone tell me what Steve Simms' job description might be?

I would imagine that it involves more than just sitting next to Shaun McRae at Salford games.

semi-retired, he gets good pay and is on holiday half of the year ( looking for players in australia)

You arent really familiar with employment contracts are you

But this what we said would happen isn't it , although even I didn't expect it after so few games

As i posted on the Salford site , they have 3 seasons to get it right , I make that about another 70 odd matches

Why should Catalans give a young British coach a chance?

Like Warrington did with Lowes.
Didn't Huddersfield have a British coach.
Problem is the best two teams in Superleague do not have British coaches.
