It would be a far better idea than sending players over. Didn't Mike Rush do something along those lines early in his career?

How much does an assistant coach get paid? It can't be that much.
I'm sure the RL could find enough to pay a couple of lads wages and accomodation per year and I can't see an NRL club complaining about getting an extra coach for free, can you?

Nope.

I also think it's a big failing of us bringing over Aussie coaches. Part of every head coaches brief should be improving the coaches underneath him, and I'm not sure that happens to any great extent.

Where I worked, part of every management positions goals and objectives were to identify, develop and help train their successor.

I'm not sure I've worded it quite right but I think you will understand.

Hopefully that's what we're seeing implemented at Wigan.

Maguire to Shaun Wane, Shaun Wane to (Potentially) Deacon etc etc.

Its been shown that the clubs that invest in young players are the ones that perrenially compete at the top of SL, surely its not rocket science to investigate it being the same with the coaching staff?

Roby isn't anywhere near as good as KC.

On the NRL thing, it's not the coaching that is the problem, it's the playing stock. Your average NRL youngster looks like the Morris'. Big strapping lads who are the cream of the crop coming through. Over here your average SL youngster is a sparrow legged mong who isn't particularly fast, strong or clever. Just average.

We are better at Gambling, drinking and looking after pets interests, Oh hang on
