He does come across on Sky as on the ball (so to speak) as far as Super League games, statistics, holding up in a tackle before going to ground etc. but does this mean its our loss, could the time he must have to spend analysing each super league game to put his well analysed two penneth in for Sky come at a price, whilst he is having to do this (contracted I presume), does it detract from what he could be doing analysing teams in our league and giving extra advice/guidance to our players, lets face it there are only so many hours in a day and everyone deserves some me/family time, how can he fit it all in successfully, can the England coach do two jobs at once successfully? Tony Smith etc. I actually think what he says on sky makes sense, but that's a whole different ball/league game from where we are at the moment.

Spot on.. I have seen nothing to detract from this.

' Upstream , knees and elbows '

, all he is doing is giving simple things that everybody has been using for decades a stupid name

Go on , explain to me the use of the word ' upstream ' in the so called modern game , but you are not allowed to say that it actually means running in the direction of the other team , which is actually the whole point of the game

our Paul seems to manage fine

For what it's worth, I actually think he'd make a better coach rather than head coach. Very tactically astute but doesn't quite seem to set the world on fire as the 'main man'.

I was reffering to "MUM's opening thread post regarding Cullan's job in TV & as to weather it is effecting the teams performance. Robbie has a busy job too while doing his degree he also feaures on TV, he writes collums & plays his rugby week in week out never missing a game always playing the full 80 but it doesn't appear to effect his performance on the pitch.
