Garry Schofield is off his tits.

we all know that...but i dont think that would be such a bad idea.

Does Scully have the relavant coaching qualification? Not that schofield believes in that sort of thing



He really must of put a lot of thought into that article. Jeez Louise.

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

you dont think it would be a bad idea to have a coaching team of:

- one bloke who currently works for Carlsberg delivering beer
- a current player with no coaching experience
- a former player with no coaching experience

the only one with coaching experience is currently delivering beer - which probably gives a clue to as to where his coaching talents.

a good player does not necessarily make a good coach (look at Garry Schofield, Paul Cullen, Karl Harrison, James Lowes for examples). in fact, I cant think of any top level player that has made it as a coach in recent times?

I can but they are all aussies and kiwis

I say it through gritted teeth but Wigan have got the right idea with what they're doing at the moment.

They've got a young, cutting edge Australian who has cut his teeth at one of the most successful clubs Down Under, brought his knowledge of their systems and structures over to implement them within the Wigan club, while appointing ex-players with Wigan in their blood - Wane, Radlinski, Hampson - on the coaching staff. Once Maguire goes home in a couple of years, which Australians inevitably do as proved by Anderson and now Potter, rather than being in the same boat again of looking for a 2-3 year solution of another Aussie coach who will bring new systems, they already have successful structures in place and can promote a new coach from within, who can then, theoretically, continue their success for years to come.

Saints would be absolutely stupid to appoint any of Sculthorpe, Cunningham, Martyn as head coach (as Schofield suggests in his article

) but I'd definitely be in favour of seeing any of them as part of a new look coaching team, fronted by an experienced and successful Aussie coach, overseeing them for anything between 3 and 5 years realistically, before handing the reins over and returning home.

Or you could argue that Wigan hired an assistant coach from an NRL side that has won nothing and that he's brought nothing with him bar some basic, negative tactics. (He suits Wigan though as overspending to basically buy the title is their favourite thing)

come to think of it maybe it was a bad idea after all,,

You couldn't argue it though, because you are completely wrong you anti social retard.

Oi. Bugga off back to your own board.

Saddened! is fab.

Aye, worst excuse for a RL fan ever!

I'd wager you've missed more Wigan matches than he has Saints ones, in any given timeframe

Shut up child and don't bother wagering anything. Eat you coco pops and toddle off to bed. Saddened is a pillock. He spends more time guffing over Warrington than he does his own 'supposed' club.

Ha! Just because his irony level is above you intelligence level, oh keyboard warrior

Try sucking his dick, it looks like his colon is well and truly licked clean by your good self.

you can't argue so you result to insults

and you called me a child!

You hardly made much of an arguement yourself did you? Well apart from virtual rimming Saddened that is!

Are you related to Fishta.
Just thought,thats a daft question,he's bound to be.

Your mum's your dad . . . .

Your dads your mum....

You're in-ter-bred.....

Longy's view, he isn't surprised.

I dont think anybody is surprised seeing as he only signed a 2 year contract.

Nobody's been interviewed yet and the plyers dont have a clue who it could be which suggests it aint any past player like Scully or Keiron.
