As reported in Love Rugby League
(Can't get a link to work on my phone)

Paul Rowley is being linked with a return to Leigh, some five years after leaving the club. He enjoyed a successful spell between 2012 and 2016, winning back-to-back Championship titles. Also on the rumoured shortlist to replace John Duffy are Warrington duo Andrew Henderson and Lee Briers, former Hull coach Andy Last, another former Leigh coach in Kieron Purtill and Super League winning hooker Mickey Higham.

Personally I would prefer Hendo & Briers to come as a combo but not sure Wire would allow that, after all they would be coming from a top S.L Club with all that environment brings & standards set in place

I would back the return of Paul Rowley. He knows how to win.

if you know owt he will never come back under this ownership

I would love to see Paul back in the club, but cant see this happening at all, the Warrington combo would make sense to me.

Wonder where Paul’s name come from ? I can’t see him applying for the job
Think about it there’s too much water under the bridge on both sides

We need pedigree. Very important as a club we don’t step back.

which option is taking a step back?

good point

Rowley couldn’t meet SL standards. Proven with Tornado Wolfpack. That’s the step back I speak of.

rowley will not come back under this ownership so your post is irrelevant

Let’s hope this management remains..

no stepping back then

Rowls is past tense.. Wrong level.

ive already told you he wont come back here under this ownership thats it

is it a backwards step from JD?

It’s the same level.

He isn’t at a level of a SL head coach. Wrong level.

ive never commented about his ability i said he would not come back here under this ownership dont know why you keep going on about it

Why do you keep quoting me then? You stated it to others not me.. :



Personally I couldn’t give a e about Rowls..

you keep goin on about his level to me and i havnt said anything about his level you have i said was he woudnt come back under this ownership nothing else you are the level man

Go and read the thread, come back when the light is shining. Rowls is a no. If you want new management or Rowls wants new management, it’s not happening. Unless Rowls has enough dosh to pay Derek off.

He doesn’t and will never coach at Leigh again. Regardless of any new management. He made his bed.

what a fi

Goodnight.

Chris Chester is out of contract but I’m sure we can come to an amicable arrangement
