Quote ="sally cinnamon"But I don't understand the logic, if you've been given a job in the NRL does that make you better?
Rank these coaches in order: Shaun McRae, Royce Simmons, Tony Smith, Michael McGuire.
McRae and Simmons must be the top two because they've had NRL head coaching jobs and Smith and McGuire haven't.
Whos a better player Ben Westwood or David Kidwell?
Kidwell because he's done it in the NRL if Westwood was any good he would have been there.
Whos better, Wigan fans, Denis Moran or Sam Tomkins?
Must be Moran because he played many games in the NRL you don't see Tomkins in the NRL now do you...?
As for Brian Bevan, he never got beyond reserve grade at the Roosters? Why did we build a statue of him, we didn't build a statue of Leon Felton?'"
Going to the NRL is no sign of achievement in itself (see Thorman, C. and Sibbit, I. for reference). Going to the NRL and embedding yourself and maintaining standards (as well as contract) is my idea as being top of the tree.
