Marjorie coaches a successful style of rugby league as does Tony Smith it's just that they're very different. I'm happy to watch the type that Warrington play and I'm sure that Wigan fans prefer theirs.

Yes, you're right. Maguire, despite being named as new coach at South Sydney, arguably the most famous and historic club in Australian RL, and which is now co-owned by one of the biggest movie stars in the world, is not a big name in Australia.

You're not wrong - I believe these guys were in hot pursuit too.

Not quite a lol, he's right both Sydney clubs have been going over a century, Roosters are arguably marginally more so, but that's just splitting hairs.
Will give him the history bit they have plenty of that but they haven't done anything in recent years and are known mostly over here for being Russell Crowe's team then anything else.

So they are really historic and famous then... :
The won the inaugural Aussie premiership. They have won more premierships than any other club.
They are one of only two foundation clubs in the NRL to have survived in their original form.
When they were excluded from the NRL a decade ago there was a massive public campaign for their reinstatement, with tens of thousands of protesters marching through Sydney.
They are a big club and for many people in Oz represent the spirit of RL and its roots in working class areas of Sydney.
But hey, what do I know compared with a Warrington fan....

Fella, just look at some of the managers that have managed Real Madrid over the past 10 years. If you didn't know, Real Madrid are the biggest football club in the world, probably the biggest sports club, but they've appointed their fair share of 'nobodies'.
Just because 'Madge' has got a big job, doesn't mean he's massive over there. He could turn up and flop massively and fall into obscurity, or he could be a hit, but, at present, I don't think any coach that is coaching in SL will be massive in Aus, even if he is coaching the biggest and bestest RL side ever.
