If Leigh want to promote themselves to SL I'm afraid Paul Anderson as to go. He's been a fantastic servant to the club but after what I witnessed Derek must now release him of his duties. The incident all began 2 years ago when he told Emmit to "get off the field you fat ****" at the last summer bash v Bradford. However, on Saturday during half time Anderson & Emmit had words & it was heated. At the end we all seen what occurred. Rowley wanted to shake hands - Anderson wanted to fight. Rowley had a go at Purtill about his staffs conduct. Then we seen Acton getting involved. Along with this Beaumont's brother was asked to leave the RFL VIP area for his conduct by the RFL's CEO. After the game it was even more embarrassing Beaumont's brother went towards Rowley & got slapped. Police intervened. Rowley as already been informed he will not be facing any further action. When will Leigh learn not to get involved ?

Yes IT'S BACK !!! If we beat Leeds on Friday, you won't be on this forum. Pie eater

@budgiezilla ... Leigh will have to improve if they want to beat Leeds on Friday ... also I wouldn't be picking a confrontation with Brian McDermott & I'm sure the behaviour of Leigh's staff will be on best behaviour with Gary Hetherington being around !

Was still Paul's fault for turning up

Deary Me , Everyone is now out in force.

Anderson was not the only one shouting Emmit to get off the field that day. His performance at Blackpool was a disgrace and one of the most disinterested performances in a Leigh shirt I have had the misfortune to witness. Appalling.

How did Emmits stint in Australia go as he announced that he wanted out of Leigh to back pack at the same time as that particular Blackpool weekend?

Terry O'Connor summed up Rowleys antics in a nutshell. A coach sets the discipline standards for his players to follow and unfortunately him ranting at Purtil and behaving like he did was not a good look for Toronto or the game in general.

Sky Tv's analysis.

Why have you joined this forum ? I know....to be an annoying troll, like your mate Pete.
"We will have to improve to beat Leeds" Blimey, you really know your rugby don't you love ?
I thought that if we played worse, we would still thrash them....PRAT !


Are you & Pete going to the game ?

Its peter you old rocker you

And for the record, I'm not a fan of Status Quo !

Oh that would be telling. How's the printing going

Quiet, we used to print Leigh Centurions stickers when Mike Callaghan was at the club, but nothing since he left (top bloke)
Digital has taken over, but me & my mate 'make a living' just....thanks for asking.

No problem I hope it picks up

Cheers peteR !

Emmit's was the most disinterested performances you've seen in a Leigh shirt ? You must have missed Rangi chase so called playing for Leigh then ? Over 100k for that nonsense move ? Didn't Leigh sign Dane Weston & Emmit got overlooked & Where is Dane Weston now ?

You're going on about Toronto's conduct etc & players discipline ? I didn't see any of Toronto's players getting a card ?

Why did Rowley react the way he did ? I tell you why because coach Anderson went to headbutt him & threw a punch. Rowley went over to Purtill & told him about the conduct of his staff. It shouldn't have come to that lets be realistic about the situation please.

Have you been on holiday? Or do you only watch Toronto games?

Dayne Weston's signing was announced in 2015 while Rowley was still in charge, and played alongside Emmitt in a number of games in 2016, so not so one getting overlooked for the other.

Only reason Weston isn't playing now is because he retired through injury. He was an infinitely better prop than Emmitt.

Who do you support?

The whole thing is hand bags, we just need to let it go. Rowley is being smart, it gives them incentives to win in our next encounter, where they could knock us completly out of top 4 contention.

SKY TV were going on about Paul Rowley's conduct. Not good. Neither was what he was 'saying' to Anderson, Purtil and to Mike Latham.

Also Paul Rowley followed Anderson if you watch the footage, who was retreating away from speaking with the referee but I accept both should have acted like grown adults.

Emmit was very lucky the referee was the wrong side and did not see his sly swinging arm into the face of the down and tackled Nathan Mason.

As previously explained, at the end of the game Rowls made his way to the officials to show respect like a any decent coach would of. At that point Anderson came over & obviously wasn't happy , he had few words to say.

Him & Rowls exchanged words, Rowls was walking towards his squad to congratulate them, Anderson decides to splash him with water as he was walking away (not the first time he's done this - splashing water at people, ask the coaching staff at Batley what he did when a player was injured on the ground).

They then came towards each other Anderson then uses his head & throws a punch. Rowls went over to Purtill to tell him about the conduct of his staff. However, Mike latham is just getting involved to indicate which side he's on.

Lets not forget Anderson as history, he's had touchline bans previously. Deggsy will not get rid as he's quite stubborn with his loyalty. Regardless of what Sky say I can guarantee Rowls will be cleared of any misconduct when the full incident is looked at.

Anderson shoved him, there wasn't a punch thrown. Rowley himself described it as handbags.

They're both idiots.

I am sick and fed up of reading the drivel on this forum from Peter Kay and now we have more drivel from Valvehunter.

History lesson for Peter Kay re: his precious Paul. It was bad enough PR leaving the club in the manner that he did but how he was allowed to tap players as he did beggars belief. Shortly having joined Paw Patrol - PR is seen at the AJ Bell stadium with a number of players who guess what? find their way to Toronto. I will deal with just two of them Bob Beswick - immediately after being at this game with Rowley he develops an incurable ankle injury. He does not play for Leigh for months because of the injury, but he must have visited Lourdes on his way to Canada as he was cured as soon as he landed. Two Emmit, asks to be released from contract with Leigh to pursue his life long dream to live and play rugby in Oz. Yeah right 3 weeks later, he is back and on his way to paw patrol and of course this route means no salary cap implications for PP.
Dealing with Saturday, Anderson does not cover himself in glory, but watch the video VH, PR is clearly shouting at Anderson and he squirts water towards PR, it is PR who closes the gap and their heads come together like a couple of goats no headbutting.
Forget all that "handbags" stuff. What is totally unforgivable is PR abusing Mike Latham, a man held in the highest regard not only at Leigh but in the Rugby and Cricket world generally.
We now have a coach who knows how to behave and coaches the players to play rugby. Gone are the annoying antics of patting opposition players on the head if they make a mistake. Unfortunately paw patrol have carried them on - again Emmit goading both the players and the fans, and of course his very cheap shot on Mason while on the floor. Sam sloppy Hopkins ran 20 metres to pat Acton the head when he knocked on.
I suggest PK you crawl back under the rock from which you crawled - you are not a rugby fan.

Short history lesson for you ... the players didnt want to stay & was sick of interference from someone & the others got released . Let go of thy anger

In my original post I clearly state if the club wants to move forward the likes of Anderson & Beaumont’s family should be kept away. The game itself was a competitive game & Leigh threw it away really.

However, the way Rowley was confronted after the game & outside the stadium will do no favours for the Leigh establishment.

And let’s not forget when confronted by members of the Beaumont family outside the stadium this was done in front of Rowley’s kids.

As for Mike Latham, he’s blantantly telling lies as he or Paul never spoke to each other.

“he or Paul never spoke to each other”, surely you would need both of them. As for the ‘never’, which one were you following all day?

As stated, they never spoke to each other, so I can't understand why Mike as sais what he's said to be honest.
