I did not see this coming, thought he may have gone at the end of last season, having not achieved what was expected of him and his team.
To go now having signed all those players, The RFL having changed the salary cap to allow it. Seems amazing.
Perhaps Mr Beaumont, who can not be any easy man to get along with, did not think he could do the job anymore,
He may well have some one lined up to replace him.
It must however have a negative effect on their team and its performance, which may help us being that we play them third up..
