Last year, when we were discussing Basil's replacement, Purtill was most people's ideal candidate (young, local lad, served his time as a number 2 under world class coaches) - but, for reason's only he could tell us, Keiron decided not to throw his cap into the ring.
Would he be happy taking a GM's job that didn't involve having some input into 1st team affairs? Unless Paul was completely comfortable with that as the set-up then - in my opinion - it could prove a disruption that we don't need at this time.
The irony of course is that if he'd applied for the 1st team coaches job last year, he'd have more than likely got it - and at that time Rowley was quite happy to remain an assistant!!

When we got relegated/but didn't PR did not pick the squad Neil Kelly did and Neil left because of a health condtition.
This season we have' on the whole' recruited well despite our restricted budget. We lost in the NRC at Sheffield by 1 point at home to Batley by 6 and gave a bad display at Fev.
We can't get relegated this season and have a limited budget.
PR might be the right man so we have no choice but to continue with our current set up and trust things will come good.
I honestly can't see what else the board can do at the moment. |

If we can afford to ship Matt Adamson or Ritchie Blackmore over can we not afford Purtill?

Agree with this, but I think it would have took a madman to leave St Helens for Leigh in the close season considering the financial states of both clubs. |

I think all in all this is probably the common sense decision and a very good post.
Would you still agree with a decision to appoint Adamson or Blackmore? |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

I just thought it was worth talking about, isn't that what a forum's for?
Seems Mr.Chairman has hit the nail on the head though.

Going for 'second-in-command' Kieron Purtill just shows lack of ambition.
Why don't we go the whole hog and recruit Royce himself since he's doing nowt right now.
