Takes alot to admit a stress related illness ( trust me I know ) particularly one linked to work. Good luck Shaun in whatever role you play in RL in the future, you will always be welcome back at Hull.

Agreed, all the best Shaun

Salford worked him out and Shaun had to take the pay out.

Great bloke and someone who dedicated his life to RL deserved better.

best of luck to shaun, hope he recovers well, stress and depression is something that still has a certain stigma attached to it, it's the british way to just get on with things, non sufferers often think its like being fed up and don't see it as a real illness

McRae was awful for Salford... We played some horrific RL under him... and for us to say that is was horrific, it must have been bad as we've not had much better than average over the years.

He had the best part of 4 years to build a team... when he took over from Karl Harrison... he said that it wasn't his team and to judge him when he built his own... well he built his own... we judged him... and he failed miserably.

In my opinion... he wasn't great with the fans either and I'd say he got back what he put in. I wish him the best like any normal human being... but as long as he stays away from my club I'll be happy.

The players didn't rate him as he gave more analysis of the game on the TV than he did at his own club. This was mentioned a few times on speaking to players 'off the record'... and yes... players should be bigger than that... but a club like Salford need a coach who can stand up... he couldn't.

Finally... don't be so gullible to what you read in the press.

Re: Shaun Mcrae : Fri May 13, 2011 9:34 am  

never rated him as a coach for us some of the young talent who should have kicked on under him have gone backwards luke adamson a prime example and even jordan turner to some extent, Both very talented players who never kicked on. Then we see him week after week telling us on sky how teams should be playing then we go out playing like a bunch of amatuers and also very very poor relationship with the fans at salford i am glad hes gone
