Statement by

Jim Reynolds

Chairman of the Board, RLI

April 7th 2022

Effective on Tuesday March 29th 2022 Stuart Littler ceased to be Head Coach of our Senior Men’s Squad following a week of discussions with him.

We would emphasise that this event in no way diminishes the sincere high esteem that Stuart is, and will always be, held in by RLI after his illustrious playing and coaching career with Ireland. We especially mention his 19 senior caps over a ten year playing career that saw him score 40 points and we thank him for steering us through qualification for RLWC2021 as Head Coach.

RLI has decided to go in a different coaching direction in this run up to competing in RLWC2021 later this year and shall be issuing another update on our Coaching Team on Monday the 11th.

We wish Stuart the very best of luck and success for the future in his school teaching and Rugby League coaching careers.
