I see Rowls is sounding well on Radio 5 Live commentating on Wigan v Catalan tonight.

Rowls was asked about why he left Leigh and without saying the exact reason these are a few quotes which I scribbled (so may not be exact - I'm sure it will be played back or picked up on by the local radio)...
'First up just to say me and my family are all fine as even though I put personal reasons' they are ok (or words to that effect)
'Had to follow my morals and ethics'
'Keep integrity intact',
'Down and disappointed I had to leave friends players and staff but you have to follow your morals'
'There have been moments last season I questioned certain things'
'No alternative true to myself and follow my beliefs',
'Keep my integrity intact'.

Mentioned integrity a few times....

"............ had to follow your morals", is a strange one.

Being a God fearing man I think my morals are reasonable, young Mr Rowley has said he thinks his coaching career was coming to an end , let the breath get over it and have a word with yourselves. M

I don't actually think for a minute Tel that Mr Rowley's coaching career is at an end. I do believe his coaching career still needs to progress possibly before his ultimate goal.

I do see PR playing second fiddle to someone in the future in order to reach that goal.And good luck to him in his quest.

Atomic in my opinion PR has done himself no favours in resigning for whatever reasons he has, the Coaching business is very limited and there are plenty of talented blokes not in a job, Paul has now joined their ranks, for me his only options now are Swinton , Oldham, Rochdale, and Clubs at this level.He is unproven at SL level ,I can't honestly see any SL Clubs taking a chance on him,and that's no disrespect to his ability.

I see Mr Rowley has been a bit more forthcoming about the reasons that he went - notable that no response from the Leigh fans - don't they want to recognise that their previous coach left because he could take the way the club is being manage - he wanted to keep his "integrity intact" does that mean the club are bending the roles or acting dishonestly - surely the RFL should be interested ???

Whats the odds on a points deduction before the end of the season?

So whats going on at Leigh that would make someone like Rowley quit so close to the season? I also hear that one of your new signings has found himself in a spot of bother and that Barlow has said he will 'spill' if he ends up getting in trouble, all connected?

Probably the same odds as a lot of opposition fans gave last season. How many points did we have deducted last season?

Not sure how the club can be blamed for Barlow allegedly assaulting someone

No gloating here, and I fully expect Leigh to come top of the Championship again this year, but the above says a lot. I get the distinct feeling that Leigh, both club and fans, are circling the wagons. 'Move along now, nothing to see here' has never been a convincing way to deal with controversy, and I can't see us getting more than a few weeks in before something of substance surfaces.

My gut feeling is something salary cap related is being done which is probably technically allowed by the regulations but which PR feels is somewhat dodgy and which [imight[/i come back to bite Leigh somewhere down the line. A blatant breach or doping would have been a longer term thing which would not have required a resignation so soon before the season starts.

Greg whatever Pauls reasons were for resigning ,he made them and I respect him ,we have all heard rumours but that's what they are Rumours,as for Sam Barlow?Apparently he appears in Court next week,and the Judges will decide his fate,are there any beans to spill?I think every Club has boisterous players in a Squad of around 30 players ,even your beloved Fax will have them, don't make any melodramas out of Leigh, concentrate on your own team.We will soon be playing at the Shay,and you will see at first hand the quality we have in our Team.

To be fair, fans of certain teams (not Bradford I hasten to add) were waiting almost all last season for all our squad to get drug bans. That failed to materialise to the extent They hoped.

Only time will tell if the same happens this season

If PR had concerns i wonder if he spoke to his dad, who i think is still CEO or derek or chairman norris. If he did do this you would hope his concerns would of been acted upon.

Not sure what beans Sam can spill, he is not even allowed to leave the boundaries of Halifax, so I hear. Poor sod.
