Wasn't that supposed to be his job anyway and if he hasn't been doing it why is he still at the club? I bet NK is seriously thinking about his future at Leigh. I personally think it's a step nearer to the door. One thing is true though. Its never boring the news at our club.
The other way to look at this is, with the Williams saga NK may have noticed something that was missed that only he can resolve and to make sure it doesn't happen again he has decided to hand the reins over to PR. Whatever happens now, I hope we prosper and start winning.
Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeigh |

| Quote: -VIKINGMAN- "Bad move, Rowley has little to no experience of being a first team coach (apart from a brief spell) and Kelly who has always been a coach of some sort and has a wealth of experience gets moved upstairs.
The Rowleys dominate your club and the sooner you part comany with both of them the sooner your club moves forward. Replace Rowley senior with a young energetic bright person with great ideas (me) and get rid of Rowley junior and replace him with someone like Purtill or whatever his name is at Huddersfield.'"
Purtill is at Saints dumbass  |

Well I'm not happy that the first team is coached by someone so in-experienced. I will of course be there supporting my team. I just hope that this appointment was made because the board beleived that Rowley was the best man available for the job and not influenced by the family name.
The Director of Rugby role is one that the club has needed for some time and I congratulate Ned on his appointment. Hopefully he can concentrate on bringing the right calibre of player to the club at all levels.

| What a turn up for the book though ehh! 'Yorky boy' (as one poster calls him) 'promoted' to his level of incompetance, was Arthur Thomas in the Army? for thats what they do, if they are 'pot' at the job promote them where they can do less damage. Funny old world innit
well I for one think it could work, Kelly to be the one to negotiate with agents leaving Rowley to do what a coach should do |

| Quote: Leeeigh Leeeigh "It was on the cards this appointment. IMO we had a very difficult 4 games close together especially with trip to France included - started off well (Widnes) until 2nd half against Barrow. I thought Kelly would have at least been given the Batley game, having been able to rest players etc.
Great servant as a player was Rowley, but you have to ask yourself who else would have given Paul a 1st team coaching job right now at our level. I do hope he succeeds because then Leigh succeed. At least now we will find once and for all.
Also made my opinion known already about Alan Rowley, and I don't know whether to read too much into the interview being AT instead of AR - but you can't help thinking it wouldn't look good for Dad to be announcing promoting his son ![]()
Well I wish Paul all the luck in the world on his apointment and I hope he does well but the question has to be asked .What happens if he does not do well? Are they going to swop jobs Paul and Neil?
Would they sack Paul?
Who takes the responsibility if the team do not shape up and I am not suggesting that they won`t all I am saying is ,he has surely now put his head on the choping block hasn`t he?

| Quote: Toadstool "Tony Beevers (the correct spelling I think) really knows his way around the inner sanctum of the RFL and will bring a great deal of Rugby experience to the Board.
If I recall correctly he was one of the Directors at Halifax when they built the superb team in the late 80s (any Fax fans confirm that?)
Excellent appointment.'"
Yes in fact saw him at the match a week last Sunday it`s a long time since he`s been involved at Halifax .These latter few years he`s had an involvment with a few clubs. |

| Quote: chris 35 "Go to the top of the class mate. You are 100% correct , its just a shame our own supporters can't see it. The reason we are in this state is because of the "ROWLEY MAFIA".
Rowley Senior ruined our chances of getting a superleague franchise by his bullish "I know better attitude" and not playing ball with the RFL. WE WILL NEVER GET IN WITH HIM AT THE STERN
Our main problem at the club is poor discipline and we go and promote PR to coach. "I REST MY CASE" ![]()

| Quote: itsatry! "You honestly think thats the reason we wont get into SL because of how AR reacted ,even though Widnes where more polite about the whole sordid affair they will be no better thought of next time the franchise comes round again as they have probably already decided who they want anyway and i think that team may well be French,anyway what would you have liked him to say "Well thankyou Mr Lewis for overlooking us this time we fully understand your reasons and agree with you entirely even though it cost us a lot of money but hey no hard feelings" he only said what we all thought its a pity he was the only one to speak up.'"
He was congratulated on his honesty by several of the other chairmen including Mr O,connor at Widnes
As for this switch of roles , all we can do is wait and see , Maybe we'll be like Saints at the Mount on Sunday , save me a DVD Fred  |

| Interesting move this and one which clearly defines who is now accountable for what.
I think its a case of watch this space for now, but I have a feeling there is a little more to this than meets the EYE
Are we to asume that Knoxy is now PR's assistant? |
