Whatever happend to the Great Aussie hope that was Dan Stains? Never heard of before we plucked him from obscurity and not heard of since.

Probably one of the crape$t decisions in the clubs history.


Dan Who?

We played some great rugby under Kiss at the end of 1999.

You serious??Played plenty of S.O.O. matches,was a well respected "tough" player in ARL,saw recently he was boxing in a S.O.O. challenge fight cant remember who against,but he certainly wasnt a nobody as a player,agree he was poor as coach.

Don't like the fact it said Les Kiss played for the Bears in the NRL!!!

Have it changed.

The infamous Reverent Stains period...

His reign was but a brief and briefly-glorious one. Ironically after the Cas semi victory, the league form dropped off and then Wembley beckoned.

Stains 'lost the dressing room' when he and some of the senior players - Edwards was one - had differences of opinion regarding coaching methods i.e Edwards became convinced that Stains couldn't coach. Stains insisted on his methods being followed without question - a my-way-or-the-highway approach - and this lead to bad feeling. The Super League form didn't improve after Wembley and Stains was shown the door, Les Kiss taking on the coaching role with Rea for a while before Kiss also exited.

Les has done his CV no harm at all with the Irish claiming the grand slam. The money's much better in Onion, everyone knows that...
