Hope they don't froget it and appreciate that Rowley was wanting to get the best out of the players not having them distracted, they should respect that

You heard wrong Blackmore took a couple of training sessions

If that it the truth which I don't believe for one minute then I would have the assistant removed as a stipulation of me taking over. If I was head coach then it would be me who gets the chop for the results and no assistant would be telling me that.

I feel sorry for paul because he is trying to get the lads fit and up and running for the friendly matches then you have two coaches trying to impress so thay can get the job.They both took trainig sessions but they were both doing things different ways so how can the players be expected to know what they are doing if they are being shown different things why not all be doing things from one hymm sheet so everyone knows what they are doing.

As with everything Leigh NEVER do anything straightforward , everything has to be Complicated,thats just Leigh.

The Coach situation needs to be sorted out as soon as possible ,im now thinking ,appoint Paul Rowley ,give him the Job.

He doesnt want it though Im told

Lynda , im like everybody else , i just want it sorted out as soon as possible , if Paul doesnt want it , then all well and good ,but i feel we need to sort it out soon .

ATEOTD reading between the lines we are looking at someone to manage the whole playing side, from player development, acadamy, 1st team etc.
I can imagine that Rowley and Jukes will do the majority of 1st team coaching, with direction from the new guy.

no chance,

I still remember the disruption PR brought to the dressing room when he wasn't getting his way in his playing days.

For that reason alone, no thanks.

The Watcher can not believe posters on this board wanting Rowley as coach, by God have you forgotten he got us relegated & that the rugby played under his leadership was the worst in a lifetime. If Rowley had not been given a 5 year contract (yes thats right 5 YEARS) he would not have been anywhere near the playing staff of this rugby team for the last 2/3 years. ABR for The Watcher.

I think that view is very harsh.

Neil Kelly was the coach in our relegation season and Paul had to step in when Kelly's health problems became public knowledge.

I wonder what the Watcher thought of our team's tactics the season after after Tony Benson was replaced.

Our next coach will be Antipodean subject to a successful visa/work permit.

The team played some good rugby when Paul was in charge but lacked consistency

The Watchers memory must be playing tricks on him.
