The people of Leigh need hope, they need a leader to bring them up to scratch with the more progressive clubs in the League such as Widnes and Halifax. I can provide a vision and drive that will lead the Leigh club out of the doom and gloom that currently surrounds yourselves.

Will someone explain what is the difference between Head Coach and director of Rugby ?

I am asking a serious question btw.

Seems noone knows. I am sure I don,t.

I understand the head coach will be in full charge of team selection and training, the Director of Rugby could concentrate on club structure - academies, signings, contract negotiations and the like and he would be in regular touch with the coach who would identify the areas/players to improve the squad.

The Director role would handle most of the admin at a guess.

"ORGANISING" What does that mean?????????

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 Also I do have to add we will never get close to SL with a "unpaid" CEO that can't control his emotions at vital moments.
