John Winder is an interesting one for me because a lot of people are asking for an NRL assistant, which is exactly what he was. 3 years at Melbourne under Craig Bellamy. Just because he is operating under Wane doesnt mean he agrees with the style and I am increasingly open to having a year with Winder at the helm.
The problem that creates is what happens if we win the lot next year? How can we then ask his to step aside for Shaun Edwards in 2020
How long ago was Winder at Melbourne? I think part of the thinking by SL teams looking to pick up a quality NRL assistant is that they are bringing in fresh ideas and that these coaches are often ahead of the curve in comparison to current thinking in SL.
I think IL made this point following the appointment of Maguire and I do wonder how much things may have kicked on again since Winder was an assistant at Melbourne?
