Few players of the calibre required would sign a contract that leaves their future up in the air until such time as most clubs have finished doing business or don't have a great deal of their playing budgets left.

Will Rowley still be in charge at the start of the season?

No,Rangi will.

Yes. If he's not we don't stand a chance next season.

I think you are being a bit over dramatic with your statement ,I'm a big Rowls fan I think he is doing a very good job, but if for whatever reason we came to part company with Paul, life and the Club would go on,we have been in worse positions in the past and survived,there are plenty of Coaches who would jump at the cane to come to Leigh,I'm hopeful we won't need them to come though

I think it's the same with Derek,if Derek decided he had ,had enough them believe me someone would step into his shoes again hopefully it won't happen,I have heard again only this morning rumours of Mrs Koukash coming

personally I think that's all they are Rumours .

It wouldn't be the end of everything but this is Rowley's team, he seems to have created a great atmosphere amongst the players & got a team playing better than the sum of it's parts. If we lost Rowley it'd be a massive gamble & would take a long time for the team to settle into the new regime.

But what happened to that atmosphere in the 8's. Players throwing their arms up in disbelief, little squabbles on the pitch....not something we saw in the regular season.

It was obviously temporary, it wouldn't have helped the atmosphere by planning new blood and shedding dead wood.

I find it interesting we have brought these new players in and not actually shed any dead wood yet as you put it.
Or have we? Is there a conversation going on with the RFL?

Next year is do or die for Rowley if he doesn't get us up he's gone! Any other coach in the comp could of achieved what we have so far with the players at their disposal

Manager?
