Can’t see any coach coming in this year why would you Haggerty has probably got the gig for this year. What could a new coach do with such a small squad and seemingly no new players available to come on and boost the team. We are looking at the statistically worst season in the history of the club. Who wants their name attached to that.

Mr Beaumont is hiding behind a blanket. Any excuse at present too cover the reality. No pound coins being shown.

I wish he had gone to Huddersfield with Watson, they wouldn't have lost against Salford on Friday, Rowley was a major part of Salfords success story as tge assistant offensive coach but Watson accepted and took all the accolades, watch Huddersfield perform with better player's than Salford had to call on, there is clearly something missing from the coaching setup.

Saying that, I would not have Rowley in charge as Head Coach I think he has proved his worth as a team player.

Seem to be digging your claws in don’t you, generally with unsubstantiated comments. Not DB’s biggest fan by any means but he’s put more into this club than any of us could dream of - and I don’t mean financially, only to be criticised by the do nothings

And how can you say he is putting nothing in, COVID and the crowds will be having a massive input on the incomings - who’s balancing the books, can be pretty sure it ain’t you.

Derek has been and is vital for this club, I know many are critical of him, I don't see it. Rowley back, who knows but Harry nails it about Salford!

We can’t make 4K crowds with Covid in place. So somebody is doing something wrong.

I thought he was defensive coach at Salford? Surely Watson was offence!

Then you are mistaken Atomic, Rowleys trademark is the attack, think back to his time with us as head coach, he wouldn't change the team or rotate the squad because he wanted to keep the offence playing together in his certain pattern.
It was also very very noticable and no coincidence that Salfords fortune changed and they became far more expansive when Rowley joined them, I stated on another site when Watson was leaving for the Huddersfield job that if he doesn't take Rowley along with him, he will not have the same success.

Quite right H, I think it’s still very easy to write things in hindsight. Rowls failed using as you stated no rotation. I suppose the question? Should be has he learned from that experience! Toronto for all his glory there, where soon rid of him when SL came about.

Atomic, why are you such a PR hater, he has been the best coach we have in in the last 10 years and clearly no better off than we were? explain or please leave it!

you think he was a better coach than ian millward

You should appreciate that any negative comments about Rowley have nothing to do with coaching ability.

Evo I post on facts not fiction. Rowls couldn’t make the grade as a SL coach. Champ he is the best. That’s the level.

Rowley left Toronto the season before they gained promotion, McDermott was the coach the season when they secured promotion, and as I eluded to his contribution to Salford was immense in an assistants role in SL, to me that is his level in SL, as a very very good offensive assistant, not as a head coach.
There are a few good assistants knocking about in SL e.g. Lee Briers, Sean Long, Keiron Purtill who have yet to take the heads responsibility's woukd you say they are not SL coaches?

Did Brush lave in 2011 for Cas?

I would say they have been around SL coaches. Yet none are proven at that level. Even Purtill. They are all number 2’s or 3’s.

The level of your club that you are playing at determines what level of coach is required. Does it not?

A 70 year old fella threw a team together with 2 training sessions and beat England tonight .

That’s experience at that level.

So do you feel the coach was the primary reason?

It’s a contribution of both players and experienced coaches. The emphasis on coaches not coach. Leigh got to super league in 2017 using that reason. Paul Cooke showing the way.

The lack of clarity in your thought process is astonishing!

Personally I think Haggerty has got the job for the remainder of the season. Only players being loaned out rather than brought in, I think 'the board of Directors'

know that we will be back in the championship in 2022, barring a miracle or a re-structure of the leagues.

full cleanout required starting at the top i refuse to keep being embarassed every week

Why do folk keep saying , we signed a championship side , then played in SL , I must have heard this off every Leigh fan , we all knew what was being expected .What happened to the SL ready slogan ?
They will be press ganging fans at the next home game .

If you have been walking in the wrong direction for months, it take months to get back on track.

We should have had an experienced coach from day1 but I have always believed that DB can't cope with an experienced SL or NRL coaching team. He either needs to be in full control or shows too much loyalty to people not up to the task. The lack of news about a new coach seems to imply that Haggerty will remain in that position and so the wallopings will continue. What Leigh need to realise is that the crowds have been kept away in 2020 because of the china virus and with a team that is getting beaten every week in 2021, plus the high attendance fee, the crowds won't return. After 2 years of not watching rugby, people will find something else to do, especially in summer, and you will struggle to get those people back. The lack of player recruitment for next season (which I fully understand as we will be in the championship) and the rejection by the idiotic RFL to run an Academy doesn't bode well for the future.

Graham, at the moment it’s easier to find Nemo than a new Coach for Leigh,and I agree with all your reasons for not wanting to watch the Centurions , we have had 3 seperate seasons in SL and seem to have learned nothing , however I hopefully will be back at the LSV next year whatever League we are in .
