No offence. I think this legend is more suited to the nrl way of playing than the superleague way of playing when coaching.
I've always been in the minority. And whether I'm right or wrong. His attacking play was diabolical when he came aboard to the coaching set up.
Remember he was given the job when Willie poaching left with a certain assistant coach who has since vanished. The performance of the team in my view declined significantly from the point he was actually playing. And then under Steve price. Did not do anything to significantly improve the performance of the team. It turned into 5 drives and a bomb.
I genuinely think his coaching philosophy is more suited to the nrl than the superleague.
