Given the sense of general dread that currently haunst one or 2 boards on here very year (this year, London and Widnes are the lucky clubs), I was wondering who, using [sizeFACTS and STATS only[/size, has been the worst coach of your club in the SL era. To make this fair on the "yoyo clubs", more than 40 games (1&1/2 seasons) in SL must have been coached....
For London I nominate, Rob Powell:
43 SL Games
8 wins (19%)
1 Drawn (2%)
34 lost (79%)
840 points for, 1,470 against
-630 points or an average losing margin of 14.6

Ah Superleague top trumps...
Gary Greinke would be up there for me, a quote from Dave Rotherham at the time was "He couldn't coach mould out of a house wall"

He got us to the challenge cup final in 2006, and our first SL playoffs but Jon Sharp gets my vote for the giants.

So a man who took over a team that were perennial losers, guided them to their first major final for decades, achieved a respectable league position and paved the way for future success is in your opinion the worst coach in Super League history? 
My vote goes to Kevin Walters. He took Catalans from 4th place to bottom within two seasons, and within 18 months of him leaving the club is back in 3rd again. |

Tony Smith at Wakefield, that was a one way trip to oblivion.

Richard Agar -
20062008
2012 (so far): 5th with a game in hand.
Pick out the Agar years, no PO games won and no CC games won against a SL opponent in 2009-11.

Stats don't lie, I don't think anyone will top (or bottom, more like) this record

How very selective. But forget all about 2008 when Agar took Hull to Wembley with a gutsy away win at Bradford and a semi-final defeat of a decent Wakefield side coached by Saint John Kear ?
Gary Grienke never coached in Super League - he left London in Jan 1996 and SL kicked off in March '96.
It was Tony Anderson who coached Halifax in 2003. But I'd nominate his namesake.
Who can forget the genial Steve Anderson at Warrington ? Paul Darbyshire (in his solitary game in charge) coached the Wolves to an 18-14 home win over emerging champs Bradford at Wilderspool in the August, Anderson then took over and presided over the 12-84 home defeat to the same Bulls side a month later !

Steadman's record at Cas can't have been great.
