IMO it will be Gateshead for the next franchise.

He was congratulated on his honesty by several of the other chairmen including Mr O,connor at Widnes

As for this switch of roles , all we can do is wait and see , Maybe we'll be like Saints at the Mount on Sunday , save me a DVD Fred

Interesting move this and one which clearly defines who is now accountable for what.

I think its a case of watch this space for now, but I have a feeling there is a little more to this than meets the EYE



Are we to asume that Knoxy is now PR's assistant?

Now thats a cunning plan ... it should pay off and another away win....





...Maybe thats what we should do with the rest of our Home fixtures.

Bloody bank holidays , they should be banned

Can`t ban the BH`s but I`m fully behind your initiative.......

A friend of mine was speaking to an ex Leigh player today who said that there was unrest at the club didnt go into detail though,all i know is we have to get some stability at the club otherwise we will never go forward so lets hope this is the right move.

Did he have a dog and does he know the lottery no`s for Sat Night.............

No but him and his brother used to play at the club oh hang on now i come to think he did need a dog to guide him round the pitch

Read Leyther Forever's thread just before mine.....................

Apology accepted

well very interesting views from everybody, i really hope for the good of our club rowley is a succes as a coach, however i have my doubts, and still firmly beleive he should of done the honourable thinmg and gone when shaw went, but we all know why he didn't, and that's because his father is ceo, and that imo is the role we need to fill a ft ceo, yes i know they cost, but gateshead have one and they get far less crowds than us, at says we need a rugby director for our next bid, well we need a ft professional ceo also, not a pt person. interesting times ahead, mind when is it any different at our beloved leigh, i really hope pr does well, time will tell,

Sometimes people get confused with how other clubs run their off field organisations

All clubs are different in terminology and the way they work , Leigh have as many F/T staff as any other similar club , they just are in different capacitys with different responsibilitys , but all get the job done

but the question i pose is, would a full time qualified experienced chief exec officer be benefical to the running of leigh centurions, i am assuming the answer would be yes steve, you fancy a job mate, you'd be perfect for it.

This post smacks of Hindley leyther etc etc, isnt it about time this IP was banned????

Will the board give PR the same amount of time NK had to develop his team, or will he get a couple of month's and then be replaced by Shandy bass because he's a leyther through and through. Pathetic couldn't run a p****p in brewery this lot.

well somthing had to be done with the s$%t we have been playing i hope PR shows the same passtion as a coach as he did as a Leigh Player good luck

That was the way it looked last night, certainly looked like they where being made to work on there fitness

Good luck PR. he is in a no lose situation if the rugby gets even worst it clearing up after NK. inexperienced coach with nothing to lose might surprise a few. Hopefully

==============================================

Tell u what youve just come on to stir shi--e only 2 posts and both
crap if youve a axe to grind wi Alan or Paul Rowley tell them personally
both Alan and Paul have give plenty to Leigh RLFC both as players and
as clubmen and they deserve some respect for the work they put in over the years.. Nowt wrong with PR being givin the coachin job he did,nt do a bad job last year the team played some great RL when he was in charge
and he along with the rest of the coaching staff will turn this season around
that i have no doubt...

Sadly true, what will happen is that when PR proves his incompetence, his daddy will blame it all on NK who will then go. Expect PR in charge next season, and Leigh staring down the barrel of a gun again.

I knew we loads of Idiots supporting us but not quite this many.
I'll ask again what is the reason that you think Rowley is so bad? No one knows its cos they have heard or someone has told them some bullsh*t.
I know Rowley and he will do a good job he is 100% Leigh Centurions i also know several players who are well pleased with the new structure and i'm sure that they will play for Rowley so whats the problem? Go and find something else to whinge about they haven't even coached their first game yet

Thanks Allan, I'm sure your son will do you proud.

Surprised with the reorganisation, but prepared to give it a chance. Great players don't always make great coaches, but there's only one way to find out.

PR cant be as bad as NK season so far so give him a chance and you never know, new coach, new idea's [that he might not have been able to use coz NK was giving the orders we might be top by the end of it [optimist i know.

Good luck Paul hope it all goes well!!!!!!!
