 Lindsay has helped oversee the sport's modern development |
Wigan chairman Maurice Lindsay has announced his plans to step down as vice-chairman of the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF). Lindsay, credited with the success of the 1995 World Cup, is nevertheless likely to be invited to help in the organisation of any future tournaments.
"I've had a long association with the international game," said Lindsay.
"Now that we've recovered from the disappointment of the 2000 World Cup, the time is right to step aside."
The 62-year-old - due officially to step down from the RLIF at next week's annual meeting - has held a variety of top posts in the sport including chief executive of the RFL, managing director of Super League and team manager of Great Britain.
"I will treasure several memories, not least the 1995 World Cup which I believe was our game's greatest achievement," he said.
"We can look forward to an international programme already designed for the next few years."
Leeds Rhinos have parted company with sports psychologist Darren Robinson after one season. Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington said: "Darren joined us at a difficult time and his expertise and methods were well received by the players.
"The involvement of a sports psychologist can make a very positive impact on team performance and we certainly hope to work with Darren again in the future."
