With the Sezer injury being long term, I’d rather give Hooley a run with myler in the halves. Let’s Johnson continue to get game time in his proper position.

Having said that, maybe we make do this week then sinfield gets a run for the next few games.

The knives were out on here for Tony Smith from early in 2006 until he agreed to coach England. Loads on here wanted McClennen gone part way through 2010 as well.
Graham Murray seems to be the only coach that's universally rated on here.

smith in 2006, and early 2007 was a disaster.
lightweight, mobile forwards were what he wanted and we got battered a lot. the players weren't happy either. it clicked again mid 2007 when he went back to basics. something rohan should keep in mind.

Dear me, Tad. I can see a stack of correspondence from you to various coaches over the years. Always putting them right at the crucial moment. #unsunghero

We went for a very inexperienced coach, as a long term plan. We have to accept he’s learning on the job. Hell come good imho, but people need to remember he was in the Ozzie championship equivalent before us….

tried jjb at prop when jp was adjusting , donald was a shadow of 2007 in 06 too
