How so?

Defensive techniques and patterns for starters

So players have never learnt anything from the dozens of these aussie coaches that have been in the UK for years and years?



Something was mentioned on VT about Gareth Ellis being re-educated by Tim Sheens about his defence. Thing is, he was almost exclusively coached in SL by coaches from the Australia and NZ.



There is nothing special about them here. Really. It's down to depth of player talent. I wish people could change their mind sets about it and realise that. They know nothing special or new. All the aussies in the UK have english people around. Do they not learn anything that they don't allegedly know already?

When Lenegan signed up Maguire to replace Noble at Wigan, he said it wasn't due to individual coaching abilities but to Maguire bringing with him methods and techniques used in Oz but not here. You'd be in a better position than me to judge the truth of that, but the proof of the Maguire pudding (probably should be a pie as he's in Wigan) has been in the eating.
