He signed a 2 year deal today according to my sources.

But who will be general manager

They still want the antipodean to be General Manager, something you do not need a coaching qualification for, and never did, we were just fortunate that our last General Manager/head coach had one, though our last two General Managers did not.

I got the email saying so. Well done Paul !!

Terrific appointment and glad the uncertainty is over. No doubt the club still does need a general manager but I'm glad we've got a coach who can now solely concentrate on that.

Anyone know if Rowley's role will be full-time?

Great appointment for a LEYTHER i,m sure with Paul & the rest of the coaching / backroom set up at the Centurions we are looking forward to a great future on the playing front ..After watching how are young players are coming through and with the experience of Ricky Bibby Rob Parker, Stu Littler ect ect ect im sure Paul and the coachin staff will get the lads super fit and gnashin at the leash for the start of 2012 season
Ive been really impressed by the standard of Rugby played at Salford,.. against Halifax and last Fri how Leigh ripped into Wigan , the Centurions are a very good team with the young players comin thro i think this season will be better than the last..
Gud Un Paul

Brilliant news, happy with this decision and will back him all the way (hopefully everyone else will too, even if we hit a 'rough' patch!).

Will this mean Jukesy as assistant? Hope so!

One Paul Rowley! There's only one Paul Rowley!

Yes - good news and it has all been done in the "right way". You cannot deny he has earned his chance - lets hope he takes it!

Good luck Paul and congrats.

Well done Leigh, and well done Paul Rowley.

Proved myself and a lot of others wrong.

Good luck to Paul - it's right for him to be a given a chance to prove himself properly if he wants it. We're all happy with the form so far - let's hope it continues into the season proper.

Good news that it is finally sorted and official ( SKY sports )

Now hopefully everybody will support Paul and the players through the difficult ( which will surely happen at some point ) periods as well as hopefully the good ones

I have always stated that I wanted a team full of Leythers, coached by a Leyther, well we are probably as close to that as we are ever likely to be

Also well done the club for acting in a proffessional manner in dealing with this appointment

Game on

Agreed.

Well done Paul .

That's great news and well done to Paul, he fully deserves this and at least this time he's got it on his own merit rather than because of 'Uncle Arthur'.
