Quote WersYourMylerGone="WersYourMylerGone"I think Lowes is getting too much stick on here, he did a good job in temporary charge ending out season on a high but then for whatever reason it did not work out the season after. When he became assistant he seemed to do a good job but smith feels that poching will do a better job.'"
From memory, without looking at records, so I'm unsure on scores, we DID NOT end the season on a high.
Yes, we scraped a win against an average Bradford side, and then punched above our weight against Leeds (one great performance), but the rest of it was shambolic at best, throwing away a substantial lead against HKR in the last 10 mins, getting WALLOPED v Cas and Catalans. The next season we self destructed away at Stains, and the rest of his tenure as boss was, at best, PATHETIC
Add to this, when Smith was away on international duty, and Lowes stood in, we were deafeated comfortably at home by (iirc) an average Bradford side.
Well rid of, imo.
Out of his depth.
Even Salford (who at times, have had a revolving door where coaches are concerned) didn't even take him on as Head Coach after Karl Harrison was sacked. A number two (stop sing at the back) at best.
