Quote: SaintsFan "Benji Marshal has Simmons to thank for resurrecting his career. Simmons was highly regarded at Wests. He worked very well with the young players, one to one, which of course is why he managed to bring on our young players last season and get a team of u20s to the grand final.'"
At the time of the match only 2 players (Gaskell age 20 and Makinson 19) were the only ones aged 20 and under.Hardly a team of Under 20s.His hand was forced into playing a lot of youngsters by a terrible run of injuries and whilst we did well to get to the Grand Final,some of his decisions during that match cost us dearly.Wests are welcome to him.Nice guy yes,head coach,no.
Quote: SaintsFan "Throughout the season it was. I didn't refer to the GF alone; you did that. I said he got us there with a team of u20s, which sometimes that is what we had pretty much.
Rush was our head coach for most of the season. He didn't turn down the offer so presumably everyone thought he was capable of it, most of all him given his repeated boasts about his own achievements throughout the season. Therefore, he is to be judged in exactly the same way as any other head coach we have had. He failed to do what Simmons and Potter had managed to do (but Simmons with so many young players throughout the season).
Daniel Anderson got sacked from Paramatta Eels. Does that mean he was a rubbish coach? Of course not. Simmons probably wanted an assistant role after the way he was treated here. He's not a spring chicken so I'd say he's probably opted just to enjoy his job and let someone else take the poo instead. Wise man if so.[/quot
Well if you enjoyed watching some of the stuff we played under Simmons,good for you.I didnt.Im not going to argue this out with you because unlike you i simply dont have the time to spend on here.Just one last thought though,after the debacle at Bradford,did you honestly see us finishing third and being 80 mins from the Grand Final under Simmons?
Quote: snowdog "Anyway its all history now but just a thought,if Simmons is that good a coach,how come he is potters assistant and not the other way round?'"
