I think McRae summed it up about Salford - you want champagne Rugby on a lemonade budget!

He did well at Hull, brought players on, attracted good players and we played a great brand of rugby. As has been said, he wont be involved in coaching, Peter Gentle will be.

The difference between the mcrae when he was at hull fc as head coach and then salford was the standard of players! At hull we had quality players like jason smith, richie barnett, swain, mcmenemy, unlike salford who had the odd individual who shone! we played the most entertaining rugby in years with bomber in charge, including a whipping of your own team

Mcrae will have nothing to do with the first tesm coaching, he will be pearsons advisor with his contacts in the game

It's funny how every Hull support on here has harped on about how Hull played some there best rugby under the Slug when he Only achieved a 52% success rate of his 80+ games in charge. Half isn't brilliance by any stretch of the imagination.

Good luck. Rather you that us.

I would have more than settled for that

Anyway can we lock it now as I feel dirty just looking at that to$$ers name being given air time on here!

Seems to me that the game changed, but McRae didn't. Tactics that might have worked about 8 years or so ago, won't be successful today and McRae didn't have a clue how to react to it.

Can`t understand why you lot are getting worked up about Bomber.He has left Salford.When Agar goes that will be it as far as I am concerned.
