Irrelevant, quite frankly. Holbrook, Woolf and Chester clearly all rate him, that's good enough for me.

All down to opinions really , it wouldn’t be a hard job to be assistant at Saints , but nowt at Fax and Salford .

He put Fax into the mid 8 money 3/4 with Fax paying down debt instead of investing in going FT for a crack at SL - ie no ambition. I cant comment on how good or bad they were but they rattled us a few times.

One of his biggest failings were his signings. Everytime we made the middle 8's and he got extra money to strengthen the team the players he brought in couldn't cut it so much so that by the time he left the team was pretty much still Karl Harrison's team from when he took over. Then in the last season or two he had the chance to bring in a number of quality players like Adam O Brien and Liam Hood but was too loyal to certain players when they should have been moved along to freshen the team up. When Grix took over he ended up with an ageing team that was way past its best and its taken him nearly 2 and a half seasons to sort out.

If he does not have control over signings and does not have to deal with deiscipline problems then he could be a good coach but if that were the case he may as well be an assistant. He is a really good bloke but unfortunatley I don't think he is cut out to be a head coach.

Wki quote-

''In 2015 Halifax finished the regular season in the top four of the Championship, earning them a place in the Qualifiers. Despite being the lowest ranked team in the competition, and part time, they beat promotion favourites Leigh and Sheffield Eagles to finish 6th out of 8, and secured improved central funding for 2016.

After a disappointing 6th place finish in 2016, the club again reached the qualifies in 2017 and 2018 finishing 3rd and 4th respectively. This made the club the most successful part-time team in the RFL.[11] Long serving director and chairman Michael Steele stepped down from the Board at the end of 2017.''

And please do not let it be from someone within or strong connections to the club, after in decending order Rowley, Jukes, Purtill, Duffy and Haggerty that format has been done to death. Someone mentioned Mickey Higham but please no, unproven and he has too strong a connection with Mr Beaumont, we need someone who will say "Derek go away and leave me to get on with the job I am being paid to do" somehow I don't believe that has happened in the list above that Mr B has previously employed.

Brian McDermott would fit that bill. Plus you'd have the bonus of Leigh being a bigger town than Featherstone..just! :D

Just go on the Fax Forum to see their opinions of Marshall, they even think they have a good chance of finishing higher than us if he comes to Leigh .

That goes without saying Mr Caroli! :)

Not a fan of marshall, if it is him, bit will still get my season ticket x 3. He did a decent job at fax with no resources. Salford was a poisoned chalice. Has experience so would be decent. If not him will back whoever.
