In his book, Jamie Peacock commented on how Tony Smith had focussed on little areas of his game which even when he was already the best prop in SL at he time had improved his game!
Another Leeds player who shall remain nameless (what goes on tour stays on tour

) commented that "TS is flipping not nice person

but he would win us trophies" - 2 SL wins and 2 WCC wins later.........

you've got a brilliant coach who is starting to get the best out of your squad and continues improve it - and it's bearing fruit with success on and off the pitch!
Good luck and enjoy the rest of the season

McGuire did well with what was Nobles squad.

+1

Would you say then that Brett Finch, who played 250 odd NRL games at top clubs, and won a Grand Final, has proven himself to be better than Lee Briers?

obviously you're a well respected poster.... and quite rightly... but i don't see where this argument is heading after that riposte.

You forgot to mention Finch's match winning Origin appearance.

Skills wise; Briers for me. Consistency; Finch.
