Thanks Rob for everything you did at Leigh and good luck with whatever you do next.

Rob did a great job for us and I hope he does a great job for the Bulls. Good luck in your new venture Rob.

It's easy to see why Rob left Leigh. We're so well run that sponsors are beating our door down to get a piece of the action at Leigh. All the challenge had gone from Robs role.

Bradford, on the other hand, are a train wreck. Should be much more challenging for Rob at the Bulls.

I'm in full agreement Andy, I was being more than a little facetious

Andy Masey- I have sent you a pm.

Dammit! I thought he'd gone to The Bulls to play again - was looking forward to Sam B v Rob P - Oh well

Good Luck Rob - I always found you approachable and quite a nice guy - Thanks for all you did at Leigh both on and off the field.

Gutted Rob has gone, i think it was an area he is very good at and i'm pretty sure his ability in the role surprised a few. I think with his history with the Bulls not much could have prevented him from going, sad to see him go but best wishes in his new challenge.

Rob commenting on his new role with Leigh Centurions said in Jan 2013

“My wife and children are as excited about this new role as I am. I am a Leigh lad and after several years in Super League I have rekindled my love of the game with Leigh Centurions. Our club has some fantastic potential and I want to play my part in getting it into Super League, which is what our ground was built for.”

What smso funny about that?

In his own little way, he's probably suggesting that Rob hasn't stuck around, like he said he would, to get Leigh into SL. Of course, it could also be argued that he's played a huge part in setting that process firmly on its way.

Critical appointment this one as it's a CEO and the club needs to get this right and the sucessful candidate needs to be able to pick it up and run with it.

Ideally for me a young, dynamic graduate and someone who may see it as stepping stone maybe into senior sports management in football or a top four SL club while moving us forward in the process to the next level.

One we can't afford to get wrong this appointment IMO we can't afford to go back to the past.

Well I think the other way, need someone experienced who has "been there, done that"........not some jumped up "Jack the lad" who knows nowt, and will use it as a stepping stone to get a bigger gig.........then its back to square one!
