Saturday’s heavy defeat by Saints was the largest winning margin in Super League history and going into Saturday’s visit of Leeds Rhinos, Rowley is still unsure what side he will be able to field.
Because the reserves are part-time, Rowley said they would “unfortunately not” be able to train before that game.
Asked by Radio Manchester what the message had been from the new owners, Rowley said: “I’m just waiting. The only message I need is when the cap has been lifted.”
Rowley, who will step down from his position as head coach at the end of the campaign in order to take up the role of director of rugby, steered Salford to a record fourth-placed finish in Super League last season and a place in the play-offs.
With the outlook less optimistic at the beginning of 2025 as it was at the tail-end of last term, he said he would like to knuckle down for the season ahead despite a tumultuous off-season drifting into his final campaign in post.
“I’d rather just power on and we’ll see where we get,” he said.
“There’s definitely accountability among a lot of quarters.”
