Salford Red Devils’ Head Coach Paul Rowley Earns Super League Coach of the Month Accolade for March
In a remarkable feat, Salford Red Devils’ Head Coach Paul Rowley has been named the Betfred Super League Coach of the Month for March. This recognition comes after a strong performance by Rowley’s team, which included a historic 24-20 victory over reigning champions St Helens, the Red Devils’ first win at their rivals’ ground in 44 years.
Salford’s Impressive March Campaign
The highlight of Salford’s March campaign was the thrilling comeback against St Helens, sealed with a late try from Dean Cross. This impressive result added to the Red Devils’ earlier triumph over Hull KR, ending the visitors’ unbeaten run with a 17-10 victory at the Salford Stadium.
Despite facing setbacks, including narrow defeats against Wigan and Hull KR in the Challenge Cup, Rowley’s squad demonstrated remarkable resilience. They bounced back with a home win over Leigh, ensuring they did not repeat the same mistakes as in the Wigan game.
“It is a privilege to receive accolades that reflect the efforts of the playing group. We have made a positive start and are committed to working hard and continuing to learn and improve as the season progresses.”

Rowley’s Coaching Prowess
Rowley’s coaching prowess has been evident in the performances of key players such as Ryan Brierley and Marc Sneyd, who have been instrumental in Salford’s victories. Sneyd currently tops the Man of Steel leaderboard, further highlighting the impact of Rowley’s leadership.
A member of the voting panel praised Rowley’s ability to “tactically outgun some of the best in the league” despite the limited resources and squad depth at Salford compared to other Super League teams. This sentiment echoes the comments made by pundit Sam Tomkins, who has previously highlighted the Red Devils’ impressive performance considering their estimated salary spend.
As the season progresses, Salford Red Devils and their head coach, Paul Rowley, will undoubtedly continue to attract attention for their ability to punch above their weight and deliver entertaining rugby league action.
