Warrington fans always throw at me that we where the only professional team in the early 90s hence our success. Reality is, someone and a club needed to have the vision and foresight and fortunately it was us. The whole idea of SL (or my understanding at least), is that the code is both more professional and diverse. I dare say Salford might have pushed it when Koukash was there, but Wire, it seems to happen year in and year out!
As for Daryl Powell, like to see all English coaches prosper, seems the odd one or two Yorkshiremen can be quite bitter have a chip on their shoulders at times
