I still remember the disruption PR brought to the dressing room when he wasn't getting his way in his playing days.

For that reason alone, no thanks.

The Watcher can not believe posters on this board wanting Rowley as coach, by God have you forgotten he got us relegated & that the rugby played under his leadership was the worst in a lifetime. If Rowley had not been given a 5 year contract (yes thats right 5 YEARS) he would not have been anywhere near the playing staff of this rugby team for the last 2/3 years. ABR for The Watcher.

I think that view is very harsh.

Neil Kelly was the coach in our relegation season and Paul had to step in when Kelly's health problems became public knowledge.

I wonder what the Watcher thought of our team's tactics the season after after Tony Benson was replaced.

Our next coach will be Antipodean subject to a successful visa/work permit.

The team played some good rugby when Paul was in charge but lacked consistency

The Watchers memory must be playing tricks on him.

Listened to the podcast interview by Dave Parky with Paul Rowley.

Was very impressed with both his knowledge of the training techniques and the character of each of the players.

He was far more articulate about it than most full time coaches I have heard. Seemed to be doing a great job under difficult circumstances.

Any incoming coach should be very grateful.

We are all mere Mortals, the Watcher must keep watching , i myself would make a very good Coach



but alas my Tower duties are very tying, the Watcher is more than welcome to become my assistant,free Acorn Juice.

where did this story come from originally?
If its not confirmed as "from the players" and just "heresay" then its probably just some hack trying to fill its page.

been there long enough, and in the game 20 odd years so no suprise for me, he should even no the shoe size

Seemed like he does.
