Paul Wellens Coy on Stlens Future with the contract after losing the semi -finals in the Premier League for Hull KR | Rugby League News

Paul Wales, Saint Helen coach, said the discussions should take place regarding his future after his team fell to a 20-12 loss in the semi-finals of the Premier League to Hull K.

The WELLES contract is now over and no announcement has been announced whether it will remain or if the club will go in another direction.

He took office at the beginning of the 2023 season and won the challenge of the World Club in his first match, in great circumstances, overcoming Benithret Panthors with the aim of a decrease in a golden point.

After that, the two saints ranked third due to the different points in 2023 and came out in the semi -finals after the experience of Sam Tomokins Wigon, which was followed by 2024 poor in 2024 after a group of injuries hindered them, 2025 their vision coming out in the semi -finals again.

This means that they have not captured a local cup since they completed the “four consecutive” by obtaining the big final against Leeds in 2022, where their striker in the field of scrutiny in addition to bad employment, a factor highlighted by many critics with the progress of the star players from this iconic team to the oldest and other big names.

In fact, Wales made a total of 12 signatures in his responsible time, including the debts of Kross and Shane Wright, who came from the problem of Salvord Red Devils.

However, for the club that gets used to success, there is a wide discussion about whether the coach’s change is now the answer, as Wales himself says: “This is not something I want to busy now. I prefer focusing on the players who played their last games.

“We will have to hold discussions to move forward.”

He added: “I think it has reached this point. We were all appointed to reach the end of the season and not to take any ads and decisions.

“I think there are a lot of feelings, so we will let the dust settles. Of course, the club must decide on what they want in the future.

“These discussions will take place sooner, not later.

“There is no doubt that there is an exceptional group of young players coming across the club – Harry Robertson, George Whiteby and George Dylani still a young man, Noah Stevens, Owen Daniel, Lyon Quinn.

“Whoever enjoys the distinction of sitting in this seat in the next year, whether it is the matter or another person who has an impressive group of players to work with it, as well as some work that must be done, there is nothing that escapes from that.”

Wilkin: No one is more committed to the saints than Wales, but is this enough? | Employment was a blatant problem

to Sky Sports Rugby Legue’s John Wilkin, you cannot deny Wales’s passion for the club but the question mark is now whether enough.

In fact, it has now become a decision on whether the results did not meet the expected standards or whether the employment is the bright issue that hindered a green coach.

“Yes, he was pressured throughout the year, and perhaps reaching a big final and winning will resolve some of this pressure, but it does not solve the problem for me in Saint Helen,” he said.

“I think it needs a cultural mental transformation from Christian Wolf from Justin Holbroc to something different. This is also through employees.

“I think the employment was poor. I was very honest about employment and we were talking about this. I think there are two or three real spots in that team that let them down again and again. And I think this needs to be changed.

“They have shown a soul, right, in the end of this season. In the past three months they have shown a soul, but is this enough?

Then Wilkin added: “Paul, for people who do not know, Paul is one of my best friends, right? So, I want to talk about the personality and quality of the person.

“No one is better in my life than Paul Wales. There is something separate there, is the pressure and expected to be a major coach.

“Paul went to this job completely, knowing that he is a coach for his hometown team, you don’t get much time to get it correctly. Did he get it correctly? I may say he did not do it, based on the results.

“Did the club get that correctly? I think the club was responsible for giving it the job so quickly.

“I don’t think they should have been in light of what happened with Kiron Keningham. I think Paul would have said he was ready. I think he just gave him more time, be sensitive to him.

“Not only that, give him a real orientation of employment. I think the club’s employment was weak for several years.

“Paul is a great coach in the Rugby League. Whatever happens with him, he will work in the Runbi game. If not the league, he will definitely work in the Rugby Union. But, as you know, it was a difficult time. It was two difficult years.

“But I believe that what people need to remember is that what fans want is passion, commitment and loyalty to their brand. No one did that and this was made more. One of the greatest players who had the club ever.

“And address this process now it should be careful, I would like to suggest.”
