...and your usual RLfans nom de plume is?

Well done Paul you'll do a good job and you never know you may stop these lot from whinging every day!

totaly agree bad move by the club think NK will do a good job upstairs but if the club want a new coach would have gone somewere else

Funny how so many people have turned against Rowley? For what reason? i know for a fact that the players like him they enjoy his an Knoxy's training sessions better than they did NK if they play for PR whats the problem? Everyone worshiped Rowles as a player so whats changed? Rumour???? Sh*t stirring ??? Gossip???? Give him a break!

I'll wait and see before commenting. Things can't get much worse, but is that all down to coaching ? If we improve it will have worked, but if things stay the same/get worse, it's either replace what players we can or afford to, or have another change in the coaching set up.
Good luck with your 'latest' role Paul.

yes paul was a cracking player just not sure about him as coach i have not seen him yet get to the touchline and motivate anyone just think we need someone stronger

The club needed a change - whether this is a good one only time will tell.

The facts are we played some of our best rugby when Rowley was in charge. If he is 100% involved in training and team selection it is now down to him to succeed - best of luck Paul

Kelly still has a lot to offer regarding experience, contacts, media etc... and as AT as said this is the structure we should and will need to have in place if we are to move forward at some point into Super league - best of luck in your new role Neil.

Cant say I know a lot about this Tony Beavers - good luck to you and welcome aboard. I seriously hope you have a large wodge of cash!

Arthur Thomas needs applauding for recognising some kind of change was necessary at the club without upsetting stability mid-season.

I for one will wipe the slate clean for the season and assume everything else has been a long pre season for PR and now lets see what he can do with this bunch of players now that he has been given the opportunity.

Lets all forget the rumours.

Lets all move on

Lets all see what happens before we comment any further (and I dont mean just until after the Batley match)

No more changes (except players) this season and lets judge PR from now until then.

great post

I'm confused! Are you saying that Neil Kelly is Paul Rowley's dad?

paul and john kidd

Neil Kelly's reported statement says it allboth rolls satisfactorily."

Anyone who can't make a bacon sarnie, and a cheese one, is insufficiently multi-skilled to coach our team!

but is that not coach and chairman/owver who are the father and son? Not quite the same as at our club but see where both were coming from.

So let me get this right you think Rowley will motivate the players!!!!! Oh yeah i see him every game training and motivating the players eerrrrr NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hes no were to be seen like he wasnt in France!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will all the people who are living in the past wake up !!! yes he was a good player and that were it ends.

He will bring the club to his knees !! Hes only there cause his dad is and hes long over due to go!!!!!!

Everyones entitled to their opinions and my opinion is see lets see what happens. Did you read my opening comment?
