So Rowley was assaulted twice first by Jamie Acton live on TV when he grabbed him while Rowley was talking to the Leigh coach and then later by the owners brother. Not a very good image for a so called family club is it. I wonder if the RFL will take any action?

Dereks brother was ejected from a private box for verbal abuse to rowley & briefly by a top RL executive

So the hate is not likely end if its still festering within the owners family.

No and it runs throughout the club

There is a bit that creeps onto here occasionally, fortunately it is instantly recognised.

Yes quite a lot on the thuggery post

People seem to have a black and white view of either Rowley can do no wrong, or The Beaumonts / the club can do no wrong. Reality is they both need to take a look at themselves.

DB's brother has come up with some rants on the FB page that are nothing short of embarrassing. The sense of rivalry is doing us no good and allows us to be dragged down, and it also clouded DB's judgement into keeping Neil Jukes in the main job for far too long. Far better off just laughing off any attempts by Rowley to get under their skins.

Rowley seems to forget one crucial thing. The club will be around long after the Rowleys and Beaumonts' involvement in the sport comes to an end. He's let a personal dispute lead to him alienating the fanbase of his hometown club. Things might all be rosey for him at Toronto at the moment, but the one thing that coaching jobs have in common is a P45 at the end, and there is that saying about how to treat people on the way up...

You sometimes get players that leave after a fall out with a coach or owner and there are always pantomime villain players link Hock. But this situation is unique when else has club been created and who's player are predominantly including the coach from one other club? This makes the bad feelings a bit complex you have owner and coach friction, coach and coach friction player and player friction and fan friction! Think we need to stop the player and coach wind ups and focus on supporting our current team and staff. Perhaps it will set a good example the ones who should be setting the example for the fans. There is a dignified way for all some players have shown this, well done to those.

Agree well put

It's called being professional, gawd knows what he was saying but Purtill smiling probably wound Rowley up even more - he seems very quiet on th issue, which is not like him

Paul Rowley did not come across in a good light on the SKY tv footage at the hooter did he? Following on from his side's discipline issues at Warrington, the SKY team were equally unimpressed by Rowleys's behaviour.

Full marks to Kieron Purtill for not rising to his aggressor.

There's a different video of paul being assualted by the water boy

No its called hes mad at being assualted by the water boy and hes explaining to him whats gone on . Then actons decided to get in on the act

Which action ?
