Quote XBrettKennyX="XBrettKennyX":6067z6e0Right. As I am now less tired, and actually the points made by Dave O are volumous, but easy to counter.
1. RE the squad. The balance of the squad was decimated by Milldreds signings. Highham, Calderwood to name but two. These players are so removed from Nobbys style of playing it's untrue.
2. Now the point you are conveniently ignoring is that EVEN with this handicap, Nobby saved us from relegation AND got us to 3rd twice in a row. These aren't "statistics" these are FACTS. Hardly a "damming indictment" as you would put it, more a positive reflection on his coaching ability.
Now let's not get sucked into a "well SL is all about a cup competition at the end of the season" debate. Those are the rules and all the coaches work to that agenda. I actually don't like it (this year will be worse btw) but those are the rules set by the RFL. You play the hand you are dealt.

So being a good coach is about winning trophies and results?
Is Brian Smith a good coach? Neil Henry? Mick Potter? Justin Morgan?
