Not seen it mentioned on here , but he is on the Super League's Supermen thing tonight . Sky Sports (HD) 4 . 9:30pm . It might be worth a look .

top bloke met him a few years ago at the sheffield arena at the war of worlds had plenty of time for you mind you people who didnt know must have thought i was bonkers getting his picture and autograph

Some interesting insights.

On last season "things weren't right behind the scenes", "we weren't well coached" and "it was definatley time for Bluey to move on".

My thoughts exactly.

The level of professionalism that TS brought was obviously something the players felt was needed. Change of attitude, not just coach.

Only interesting insofar as it equates with one of your other oft-repeated agendas.

Knock yourself out.

What did you think of the fact that Keith has the respect of the players from the NRL he has faced?

Didnt get to see it, hopefully it will be on the SS website in a few days.

I thought it was a good interview. He came across as a really decent bloke who has served the sport he loves really well.

I will certainly look at buying his autobiography when it comes out, however, please leave the horse riding alone Keef

I may be wrong but i think he did say/imply the "whole coaching set up" had to change not just Bluey!

Very professional from Senior. Whilst he's at the back end of his career I'm surprised Mr Ebay isn't saving such nuggets for the inevitable ghost-written book that will accompany his retirement

I'm sure he is correct - the team definitely looked devoid of structure etc. - but I'm sure if you interviewed certain players at the end of 2006 they would have said exactly the same about the Smith regime at the time?

Interesting comments and would explain why we underperformed formuch of last season. The quality of rugby deteriorated and there were many occasions when we had no game plan "A" let alone a "B". No wonder it is taking time to relearn our forgotten passing skills.

Players in "looking for someone else to blame when they're not winning" shocker.

I'm sure if you'd interviewed those exact same players at the end of the following three seasons their answers would have been markedly different.

Shame the BBC wouldn't release the footage from one of Senior's best performances at Castleford in the CC QF in '98. Would have liked to see those highlights again.

Fantastic insight into Coach Smith's control-freakery methods - wanting to know when the players were having a shag - 'the machine' must have had his number on speed-dial.

I wouldn't argue with any thing that Keith said, although, The standard of rugby produced against the Quins was the worst I had seen in recent years. You can only use the excuse of blaming the coach once.

Liked his ideas re player management and building up RL player's profiles.

People can say what they like but there's no hiding from the fact that Keith Senior is Super League's Greatest Ever Centre.

Agreed surely the days during the week the players should have been asking what the game plan was

............and arguably it's greatest ever player if you look at longevity, games played, tries scored, medals won etc.

I don't know what game you were watching, but I could list at least 15 performances last season that were worse than that game. It's not just about the result.

IMO the performance against the Bulls was worse than the Quins one.

Unless of course you want to seperate the game into two areas, attack and defence? if you are only talking about defence, then I am a little closer to agreeing with you. If you are talking about attack, then you need to relook at last seasons performances. If you are talking about overall performance, again I would advise relooking at last season.

Yup. It's a strong argument and a worthy one but harder to quantify.

Even in recent years, his best has come and gone, but he not only survives in Super League he thrives. He more than holds his own compared to his fellow countryman pretenders.

Who would his nearest contender be? Can of worms opened.......

I would imagine most players have respect for their fellow professionals and that would include opposition players.

Putting aside the Blue & Amber spectacles...

Keiron Cunningham would get my vote.

What about the international scene? How would KC be judged there? He was a fine domestic player.
