Who?

Overrated by who?

Quote ="Damo-Leeds"1. Daniel Anderson Anyone could of coached that St Helens team of 2006 to what they did. In 07 and 08 St Helens where exposed for the flat track bullies they are by finishing the top of the league and losing out to the Leeds Rhinos in the Grand final. It would be great if someone can get his actions from the 2008 dressing room at half time. I nearly choked on my own laughter. How he got taken seriously as a coach after that I do not know. Whoever is head of the Parramatta Eels must be an Oscar Lomax type character from Pyschoville - www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMfNvpIklFg 2. Wayne Bennett This guy was exposed in the 2005 Tri Nations final when he couldn’t inspire the Australians to beat New Zealand. He knew he had to go to New Zealand to resurrect his career because that’s where the better players in the world where who he could inspire to beat his own country. Again like Anderson he coached a team that anyone could of coached in the shape of Brisbane Broncos. Now he’s doing more a less the same with St George. 3. Steve McNamara Tony Smith wasn’t behind England’s recent failure against the Aussies it was his assistant. No way could Tony Smith of coached that team once during the world cup. Left it all to his assistant IMO.'" Who has ever rated McNamara in the first place?

Anyone English or anything to do with the game that isn't in Australia

The people who keep giving them jobs!


Noble is possibly the worst coach I have ever seen as far as in game tactics go and yet he was the GB coach and had most poms saying he was great. Then Wigan payed a huge amount of money to get him.

McRae....why does he even have a job? And Sky have him for expert commentary!

As for Endacott, many Poms said he was a good coach at Wigan. Idiot poms.

Terry Matterson

John Kear

Tony Smith.
He showed what he had with his team selections and tactics in last years World Cup.

Can't be.

He's never been rated.

Too easy a question to answer.

The person who is the "greatest thing since sliced bread" when appointed and adored by club and fans alike, epecially if something is won or something that was going to bad didn't happen.

The same person when nothing is won and something bad does happen is then overated by all.

Go figure.

At no stage though is it the players fault and at a pinch match officials or lack of technology at every match may be a crutch to use

Can't see how they can be overrated. No one has claimed them to be magnificent coaches.

Is this actually written by a native English speaker, or has something gone wrong in Google Translate?

Brian Smith - Never won anything

Tim Sheens, Michael Hagen, Brad Fittler, Jason Taylor, Peter Sharp where do we stop?

You'd have to hope that was a wind up



If it wasn't it's an opinion not worthy of debate.

Indeed.

Kear does have quite a fan-base.

For turning less-than-average sides into teams that punch above their weights, yes. Overrated - no. Good coach - yes.

The sad thing is, even with the bizarre spelling I could understand that the first time I scanned it.

The previous post took me 3 attempts before I felt I began to understand it.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the above statement........

So come on then, my learned friend. Where does it matter? Is it Australia you're talking about? If so, can i just point out to you that it works both ways.

But of course, what with you being an ocker/convict/crossdresser, i suppose we have to accept that opinion infallibility is just one of your many little quirks.

Have a good day now

Brian Noble.

End of thread

You REALLY do have a problem then!

Ah well it's yours to deal with.

Go on the chook pen and ask the Roosters fans what they think of him... in fact you wont need to ask, 9 out of 10 threads are about how crap he is

Oh no...no....the place everyone knows you have to go to prove yourself in the Rugby League world is England.....

How? He may not have won any trophies at Wigan but he's only been able to work with what he's had. To think that we was so close to relegation when Noble took over, season after we got to 2 semi finals, then another semi final the season after that. We might not be winning trophies but Noble has definitely done a better job than what most other coaches could have done at Wigan.

Millward gets my vote, was shown that he was already at a good team at Saints until he went to Wigan and almoast got them relegated.
