Quote: Mookachaka "If I was a betting man, I would have said that Leigh team would get in top 2, so I can see why Derek put all his eggs in one basket.
How Paul Rowley still gets praise on here is beyond me, he ditched the club, did f**k all in the qualifiers and was generally an arrogant toss pot.
Neil Jukes was the real star but lost the players, imagine if Derek sacked him one game earlier we would be 2nd, but that's sport.'"
I am sick and tired of hearing people slag Paul Rowley off on here. If you knew him or if you had met him away from the game you would realise what a load of cr4p you are spouting.
He is Leigh through and through. He left in the manner he did because DB's ego and interfering put him in that position and he had no choice but to leave. He has put his body on the line playing for Leigh and anyone who remembers Leigh playing Wigan away in 2005 will remember Paul Rowley was the only player in a bunch of mercenaries who understood the importance of playing against the enemy in a derby game.
Okay, he's at Toronto and took players who also mustn't have liked DB's involvement, and what a brilliant job they've done for Toronto. Good luck to them and Paul Rowley. They are the only team that stand a chance of promotion against Widnes' expense.
NJ was put in an impossible situation. That team would have got into SL without a coach. He didn't have the experience of the players from SL and NRL so how did anyone expect them to respect him or his tactics. He's a good bloke and didn't deserve that. Wish him and Paul had been able to stick together under a different owner. We would have stayed in SL for years to come.
What's the betting on Koukash coming in for Leigh. At least he would get the crowds on his investment.
