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.

Exactly. Who is George Riley?!?

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.

Who's said it was?

Former Radio Leeds presenter, now working on Radio 5.

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.

i detested the idea of him coming here. and you can look that up, peoples justification of "look what he did at sintellins" 12 years ago.

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