Paul was an innovator and for me RL is a poorer sport without his involvement.

Some players may not have liked his style of training, also training the mundane stuff but it worked and he was incredibly unlucky that in the 2 yrs following the 2001 play-off loss to Widnes, Leigh came up against fulltime opposition in Huddersfield and Salford.

That in itself is like going into a boxing ring against Amir Khan with bootlaces tied together.

You dont half talk some sense

A good coach in my opinion

I agree. It's a pity he never had the luxuary of taking charge of a F/T Leigh squad as in 2005/2006. IMO an opportunity he would have relished and prospered in.

Played some bloody good rugby under Paul. He was unlucky 2001 and we were never going to topple full time Huddersfield and Salford in 2002 and 2003.

Paul should have taken us up twice and failed, if he had we would be in SL now. The following years he was urinating against the wind due to FT opponents.
He would have been a better bet in SL than sulkychops.

Quite possibly but as I have posted before , after game no 5 against Salford in 2003 he was a ' beaten man '

A great shame it never worked out for him
