Saints fire coach Paul Rowley amid injury crisis; Rowley steps down as St Helens head coach with immediate effect, after guiding Leigh and prior playing career in the 1990s–2000s.
Rowley has departed as Saints head coach less than a year into his tenure, with interim Eamon O’Carroll taking charge ahead of the Wigan derby. The club aims to steady form after a troubled season and a 46-0 loss earlier this month.
