Quote: Leyther_Matt "He was in Australia working as an assistant coach in the best competition in the world. Not bad preparation, I'd say when you look at the likes of Maguire, Nathan Brown et al.'"
There's no need to be so defensive over him, sure he was in the NRL but during the time he spent in charge of the Cowboys, he lost 12 games out of 14. In 2009 he was assistant at Canberra, yet they were more than happy to release him to come to Leigh despite the fact he'd signed a 2 year deal there.
There's no denying he has done a good job at Leigh, but until he starts delivering at Cas then people will have reservations about him.
