Assistant Coach Eamon O’Carroll will assume interim leadership of the Saints’ First Team.

Paul has navigated an unprecedented injury crisis during his tenure, maintaining a very competitive position throughout the 2026 Betfred Super League season.

The Board commends him for his achievements during this challenging period and wishes him the very best in future endeavours.

Eamon O’Carroll’s interim appointment delivers continuity and stability as the Club gears up for the business end of the season, and as a thorough process to identify a permanent successor is embarked upon.

Chairman Eamonn McManus added: “I would like to thank Paul for his commitment and extreme hard work as our Head Coach. He will always be warmly welcomed at the Club.

“The decision was an extremely difficult one for all concerned, and we fully recognise the extra challenges that Paul faced with us this particular season.

“We as a club must now look forward and do all within our powers to preserve our position as the most successful club in the history of Super League and to restore our position as a silverware contender going forward.”

St.Helens R.F.C. will make no further comment at this time.

Can't see any other sources reporting on this, personally I'm not a fan of this unconfirmed new deal.

More money, but only 2 matches a week guaranteed to be shown, with the possibility of other broadcasters picking up the slack. There's no guarantee that anyone else will pick up the slack, so that probably means much less visibility.

I look forward to the official announcement, and if anyone else has any other sources, please share!

Given the result at Castleford, and the club hasn't won any trophies so far this yeah is it time to get rid of Arthur and bring in someone else with no pedigree at the club?

As we all know losing a game or games after doing really well for is easily enough to get rid.
