So it's gone from he hasn't done anything in big games dating back to 2014 when he wasn't even here to he didn't do much in one recent cup game in a game where the whole team were out played. Cas players were also outplayed by Hull in the previous round so we should write them off also.
In 2015 he should've been MOS ahead of Hardaker but forwards hardly ever win it nowadays.

I can well imagine that Cuthbertson in the NRL would not go well, especially in a Bennett side. As an up and down prop he just isnt very good. His offload, which is a lot more prominent in SL, changes the entire way defenses have to respond to him which makes his actual 'prop' work much easier for him

I consider hookers more pivot/spine players than labelling them forwards.
I meant props and 2nd rows don't really win nowadays even though there's been many potential worthy winners.

For all the hype about his offloading game I just haven't seen him make any difference in the key games.'"
Does last night count?
Thought his offloading was a big part of our excellent start.

Well understandable really, guy has stuck in there in the midst of massive personal abuse and criticism especially the last 2 seasons. Easy option to have left after 2015 or after 2016 leave it to another coach to pick up the pieces, he backed himself and the players he had so must be a great feeling of vindication.
Whatever people think of his tactics/selections etc. He had done enough even before this season to deserve a bit more respect than what many failed to give him, quite a few spoke of him like something they've stepped in.

Think he hit the nail on the head last night when he said the thing he has learned the most is to hold his nerve, just wish he would not be quite so stubborn it's s fine line.
I've been critical at times I'm sure we all have.
But yeah close this post now, Brian Mac can stay coach as long as he wants to be. Be has proved everybody wrong again, he isn't just lucky or inherited a good side, he is a great coach. Long may it continue
And when things are not going well we need to be like him and hold out nerve.

And was duly mocked by the dad's army on Southstander who once again end a SL season looking like a bit silly.

| People will say it's his stubbornness but I think it's mental toughness. He backed himself and turned things around.
