Like 'Starbug', I'm not his biggest fan!

However, in the interests of 'balance', I remember him building a squad from virtually nothing (six players, he says) during the very dark days, when we weren't sure we could survive. Not only did he manage to build a squad, it was a competitive one, in the Championship. I believe that was his greatest achievement.

I also liked the style of rugby he employed, but came to realise, that his 'style' would never get us promoted.

Like I say, I'm not a fan of his, but there were some good points to his reign

I decided to read PRs Interview (although not really interested) I cant see where he mentions being Leigh Coach when we were relegated to division One ? anyone seen reference to this?
Of course we escaped relegation due to Gateshead's demise!

Was that the 2013 season, when we wont the NR cup, despite not being able to pay players? Was definitely his biggest achievement.

His biggest failing was allowing the full time 2015 squad to have less fitness than the part time squad of 2014.
