Widdop vs Briscoe sums up everything. How many first grade games has Briscoe played? More than 3 I suspect. At the equivalent stage in his career as Widdop he would have been laughably bad in an international. That entirely sums up the difference in coaching and experience a kid in Australia gets compared to one in the UK.

The 'style of play' we had when successful was 40 years ago. The game is not the same at all as it was then. Sadly Australia has carried on moving forward whilst we lag way behind. Our style of play may be entertaining, but its patently not as good as the NRL.

The whole point about the coaching you suggest our kids need is that they aren't getting it in England. Otherwise we wouldn't have halfbacks with no kicking game and centres who are clueless. That's the point - if we sent our kids to Australia its those basics they would be looking to pick up. If they don't have the raw materials then nothing will help, but one of the most frustrating things to me is how so many of our players do have raw ability but have no taught skills to go with it. I'd argue its not just coaching but also playing - hence why sending kids to the NRL would probably work better than sending an army of Aussie coaches to teach Academies.

I'd also add that until we have a whole lot more players in SL of the required quality, the coaching will go to waste anyway. If you don't get punished for dropping the ball or giving away dumb penalties, then you'll keep on doing it. Its human nature.

A Rhino that has lived in Auckland NZ for +10 years now living in the "hotbed" of league - Switzerland A member of the Bluey & Amber Barmy Army (Lausanne Chapter):9236.jpg



A lot of rubbish has been talked about League in NZ. The Warriors produce a lot of juniors - in fact they just one the juniors comp? With many been signed by for the first team and a few for other clubs. TBF most of the current problems have been caused by ineffective administration - sound familiar - but that has now been sorted.

Many areas produce juniors that actively recruited by other NRL teams.

Granted Union is bigger, but kids often play both one on Sat and one Sunday, but league in NZ has one thing union does not. We have Sir Peter Leitch - the one and only Mad Butcher!

Briscoe was a very talented and much talked about young full back when he broke into the Wigan team. But that's not enough to get you in a GB team past two greats like Radlinski and Wellens. You have no idea how he would have played had he been selected. I suspect he would have shown up as well as anyone.

It's of limited value sending young players to the NRL because it's already too late. We have to adjust our attitudes from ground up - that's junior level - 8/9 and beyond.

Regarding Widdop, for his age and experience, he isn't ahead of where Chris Ashton and Lee Smith were, in fact he's probably behind them.

In my opinion, whilst there are significant issues about size of player pool, the intensity of SL and I think there is a definite need for a mid season domestic rep series of some description, the biggest problem is that of junior and youth coaching. Still, despite some effort from the RFL, there are far too many junior and youth coaches who focus on winning instead of player development. There are far too many junior games where the team tactic is pass it to the big kid. The big kid who doesn't have good skills either but just happens to be 2 foot taller than the rest of his age group.
We get several kids every year who come to us whilst still playing for amateur teams who's basic skills are frankly appalling, especially their passing and handling. They can throw a ball but they can't pass it. Same goes for virtually every other skill, tackling is "brave" but technique is non-existant and there are too many who can't kick a ball to save their lives. I don't care if a lad is obviously going to be a prop I still want him to learn the basic skills which include accurate kicking of different types. As for attacking or positional "nous" well there's none whatsoever. We are literally having to explain to 12/13/14 year old kids the difference between a prop and a stand off. The play the ball is also appalling, it makes the play the ball in that cup final that was shown recently look tidy.
I've managed to see the training of scholarships at a few SL clubs and to say I was underwhelmed by the basic skills on show is an understatement. I also happen to know a couple of the scholarship coaches who are incredibly frustrated that they are having to coach/re-coach basic skills that should have been learnt at a much younger age.

Until there is a much firmer grip got on junior and youth coaching and the backward, aggressive, arrogant, idiotic, selfish and you scratch my back & I'll scratch yours elements are got rid of from junior coaching we won't move very far forward.

The well meaning but essentially clueless amateurs which make up a significant proportion of those coaching the next generation of professional players are doing more harm than good.

I'd suggest a mandatory minimum qualification scheme for all those involved in the junior game, say Level 1 for all those involved in the mini-mod game, Level 2 for those working with aged 12 and upwards and Level 3 for those involved with players aged 14 and over.

Whether the RFL has the resources/inclination to monitor such a scheme however is open to dispute.

Quote: Andy Gilder "

I thought L1 was compulsory anyway? It's readily available, and only takes one day.
I'd support level 2 being compulsory, for anyone two years past their L1 qualification and still coaching.
Level 3 isn't really practical - it really requires access to pro players and includes a residential section.

There is plenty in between L1 and L3 that's available though. Things like the RPDC programme, the TGFU courses, and the RFL have arranged some partnerships between pro clubs and amateurs - the Northwest get Warrington Wolves, and we as the Midlands tagged onto that, which gave us an evening with Tony Smith and access to a scholarship training session.

Supposedly, although how much do the RFL check that everyone running a coaching session is qualified?

It's now two days and costs £130, which is hardly likely to encourage those who aren't already qualified to become so.

According to the RFL website, there are no places left on Level 1 courses for this year either - all of them are fully booked.

Level 2 is four days and costs £180, and is recommended for those involved in the 13-a-side open age or community game.

£90 and £110 payable by the coach Andy, they're both subsidised by the RFL. As usual for the RFL, their website is out of date, still stating "Course dates for the period September to December will become available in July"

Not sure how the RFL check the team has qualified coaches, but we've had to state who are coaches are for entry to the league and show they're qualified. The rules only call for one coach to be qualified at each session, which is a help when starting out, when it isn't realistic to have a full set of qualified coaches. In our junior section all our assistants are L1 and head coaches are L2 now, and we've been able to get RFL coaching development officers to coach coaches and take player sessions. If we can do it, as an outpost in the south Midlands, any club in the heartlands should be able to.

You know what? This post must rank as one of the best i have ever read on this board and clearly shows the frustration with the junior level coaching standards. How many times have we seen half time games with as you correctly say dominated by "pass it to the big 'un" mentality? too many id say. If you dont have the basics down how the hell are you supposed to coach the more in depth tactical drills?

When we played the Aussies they played error free, no frills rugby league and ground us down with accurate, well planned sets and a very good kicking game ie "basics". Once they had seen off our challenge upfront and run up the scoreboard, capitalizing off some unfortunate errors from us they then started to move the ball quicker and tried to showcase the usual Aussie "bag of tricks" plays, some worked, some didnt. But they knew when to start playing and when to front up again basics.

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg



Is the amateur game even "talking" to the professional game these days?

Agree completely that the state of junior coaching is by and large a joke. My son is now playing for the school team as well as the local amateur team and neither team coaches any skills at all. To say there are players who cannot even hold the ball properly would be an understatement, and the do have the token "fat kid" who is positively hopeless in every respect, not that its his fault of course as he has had zero coaching input.

We fail to develop enough junior talent because junior teams rely on the 3 or 4 decent players that they have and the others never see the ball.

If we really want to improve it will be a long hard road and we need to start at the bottom not half way up the hill....

They're pretty well connected, although perhaps better for us in the Conference structure rather than BARLA. Good details here
www.totalrl.com/index.php?showtopic=209538

Lets all remember one thing in criticising these junior coaches though: They're putting time and effort into coaching kids. You're (and I just mean everyone, not you Batley icon_wink.gif ) not. I'm sure they would appreciate help, whether as another coach, or taking care of the "dirty work" of collecting and sorting kit, arranging lifts, confirming games with opponents, sending in scorelines and match reports, etc.

I know it's the metaphorical "you" Richie, so none taken. FWIW I am actually doing more coaching of the school team than the teacher is but unfortunately it's restricted to match days due to work commitments.

I understand that the people who are giving up their time are doing so for free and of their own free will, so I don't mean to bag them per se, I'm just frustrated at the lack of education they receive really which manifests in the development (of lack thereof) of the players under their tutelage. I see the issues in coaching in the same way as the issues in playing, no shortage of effort, but a real shortage of quality...

There needs to be a root and branch restructure of junior coaching, not forgetting to coach the coaches, so that we can improve the quality of junior rugby, and therefore send kids into the open age game with a much better skill set.

I'm not sure why that education is not there though. I can't really believe we have more access to resources here in Northampton than a club in the heartlands would, would we?

More access, probably not. More desire to use it, probably.

There is a view that because certain clubs are in the Heartlands, they already know how to teach kids to play and therefore don't need any education. IMO the ones that don't ask for it, are probably the ones that need it most....

A lot of these people, who work very hard with some of the kids under their control, are usually parents of one of the team, and focus on their child and the other "talents" without giving any time to the other kids, which only exacerbates the problem.

I applaud people who are willing to open their minds to education, sadly not enough are willing to do that IMHO.
