TORONTO Wolfpack coach Paul Rowley has copped a buffeting from former Salford owner Marwan Koukash over comments made in an in-house YouTube interview.
Paul Rowley is very arrogant in this interview .
He is very disrespectful to @derek_beaumont and @LeighCenturions and very ignorant of the good work they have done https://t.co/MyaBy5vqc3— Marwan Koukash (@drmarwanK) January 13, 2018
In the video, Rowley describes the ex-Leigh players currently with the Wolfpack as “players of mine – I recruited them all”.
Koukash Tweeted: “Paul Rowley is very arrogant in this interview. He is very disrespectful to @derek_beaumont and @LeighCenturions and very ignorant of the good work they have done.”
Leigh v Toronto is seen as the the grudge match of the season due to Rowley quitting the Centurions and the number of players he has imported from his former club. The first such clash is at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday, February 4.
“When I’m in and about the town, 99.9 per cent have a really positive attitude towards us,” Rowley says.
“It just so happens that that .1 have got the biggest gobs. They’ll give us the grief. We’ll embrace it, play the game and get out.
“I left the club in a better place than I found the club. We started with six players, no staff. We finished, built a squad that took them up to Super League.”
Paul rowley took players that failed to get in to super league Neil jukes got leigh in super league first attempt just rember leigh were relegated only for gates heads woes we were reprieved look forward to Paul feb should be intresing
Now, I can’t make up my mind if this is a silly article or a complete non-story!
Marwan Koukash as opted out and chosen to be just a fan as well as a sponsor.How many fans bashing a coach do you write a piece about? How many sponsors would you quote criticizing someone in the game. Essentially remembering his new roles he shouldn’t speak but more importantly you shouldn’t bother quoting him.

No comment …because it was not allowed!
