Quote: Mugwump "What we SHOULD be doing and what we're CAPABLE of doing are two entirely different things. My guess is that if McManus had the money to purchase the services of an uber-coach he'd have got one. Which means, at least for the time being until we're in the new stadium, we're dipping into the bargain bucket.'"
Uber-coaches don't come to SL, assistant coaches who haven't been offered a full time role or sacked NRL coaches do.
I imagine McManus saw Simmons as the best available option given his position as Oz assistant. I'm not sure that his salary had as much to do with it as you might think.
