This appointment only confirms what everyone already knew, and that is that SM makes a pretty decent assistant. Just like he did when he assisted Noble.

"everyone already knew"? Careful, you'll have a number of posters putting their boot through their screens !

Of course, especially given that they are the NRL champions. The NRL is the coaching pinnacle, and no fools are admitted. The Roosters are currently at the very apex of that pinnacle. If a coach with ambition wants to reach for the top, then at some point he has to make a go of it coaching top level NRL. What else would you call a gig with the pre-eminent club side in the world?

I don't think you are fooling anyone FA.

International Coach to club backroom staff a step up?

Don't be silly.

Eddie? You must've come round by now?

Anyone in the Scotland area with a supply of smelling salts?

Interesting - might be worth having a punt on an England RL side taking the field containing no English based players?

Re: Bye bye McNamara : Mon Dec 16, 2013 6:44 pm  

I think the odds would be too short.
ATM I'm reasonably happy with the bet I've already laid
Bulls to be in the top 8 - 8/1 with skybet.
Its just a punt but the odds are decent

To be honest, I've no problem with whoever coaches the team, English, Aussie, or Kiwi but I'd expect them to be where the job is, so I have to say, I'm really not certain how you roll with an Aussie BASED coach of any nationality.

I know we'll get the usual rhetoric "I've got my people in the UK taking note of what goes on", etc etc blah blah blah, but if that is so, maybe one of 'those people', might actually be a better shot for the job? It's not as though he [the incumbent] needs to keep an eye on the 'Aussie' contingent since, as things are, anyone making a living in the NRL is going to be pretty much a cert for the squad anyway and then the possibles and probables can be sorted when they hit the UK for the tests.
