Eddie certainly didn't like the fact that an Aussie guy described the SL as 2nd rate and that Gareth Ellis needed training on the basics .......... IMO a bit blinkered of Eddie dismissing the comments.

Having just watched Boots n All and his expert analysis I must admit to been quite impressed with the way he explained through the certain plays from Rd1.


Do you mean like when saints were using 4 player to tackle it was a good thing but later in the programme he was bagging another team for doing the same :wink: :lol:

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

I was just about to say the same. He gave Saints priase for getting 4 in the tackle, then he was calling i think Wakefield for doing the same.

Saw a min of it.. was the tackled player 'winning' or 'losing' the collision in both examples? It could be that the mighty S were tackling in groups and successfully putting the player on his back and slowing them down, while Wakefield were letting Leeds still get a speedy play the ball meaning they have fewer numbers in the line?

Not seen it but that's all I can guess. Or you are right and he's an idiot :wink:

Since you put it like that, you do have a point. We were winning the collisions a fair bit and Warrington had fewer men in their tackles and didn't manage to turtle us. Leeds have always had a good ruck and quick plays of the ball, its hard to slow them down.

You have to be able to get your players to not only believe in your plan but to give them the confidence/respect/belief to be able to carry it out.

Coaching is only part about technique
Partly, but I also think that Cullen and Rae probably don't have anywhere near the level of tactical knowledge of a top coach. Their analysis is barely scratching the surface of a coach's tactical knowledge, it just seems complicated because in general RL fans know next to nothing about the sport. It's scary how little an average RL fan knows compared to fans of most other sports. Hopefully the Boots N All analysis will go some way towards improving that.

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.
