Yes he was, but i'm not doubting his skills to be an assistant, it's his head coach qualities that i'm concerned about, not every great assistant makes a top quality head coach ala Brian Kidd in football.

I do have concerns about Lowes's maturity and ability now though after seeing recent interviews and how he has allegedly reacted with Wakey fans yesterday and Salford fans in the past. I do not want this man anywhere near our club if the rumours are true

I cannot figure out why people want Hanley so much as our next head coach, when was the last time he coached at the highest level? This concerns me.

Director Of Rugby with an inexperienced head coach maybe a possibility if we go down the Hanley route.

Jimmy needs to stick by his guns and drop the under performers.

team 1. Hicks 2. Riley 3. Gleeson 4. Grix 5. Penny 6. Bridge 7. Monas 8. Moz 9. Higham 10. Rau 11. Harrison 12. Mitchell 13. Clarke 14. Wood 15. Blythe 16. Picks 17. Landerson

Would the board stay away from team selection and let him kick start the team with youthful enthusiasm. The crowd would get behind him if dealt with what most of us can clearly see happening, too many 'coasting' on big contracts. One thing bradford had in the lowes era was a level contract system, no stars-one team....c'mon jimmy take charge.
