To be fair every coach can learn from there past victories and defeats. He has won silverware and to be fair his bad reputation has mainly started from managing the Bulls. I don't think Darell Powell's current skills could of turned that clubs downward spiral around.
I welcome back an English coach into our top division.

Not a done deal yet, so don't get too ahead of yourselves.

The coach that just left manages a pigs ear from a silk purse though.
You need to get Dave Taylor back on board.  |

I think he'd be good for them. He has potential to be there for a long time and certainly his NRL experience puts him ahead of pretty much anybody in the Northern hemisphere who might have been interested.

I've been one of his biggest critics on RLFans, largely due to his comedy impact on the Bulls.
I think he was pretty good for England, but I'm still not sure if he has what it takes to be more than a good assistant at domestic level. We'll see, but there's no reason that with so much NRL experience that he won't do a lot better this time around in SL.
Hopefully he'll turn that 'sard around.

There's no guarantees, but at least the guy has clearly looked at making himself a better coach. Technically and in terms of understanding what goes on in the NRL he's way ahead of any other British coach. Whether that translates on the field is another matter, but I think he deserves a chance. He makes far more sense as a head coach than some recently retired ex-player with no experience.

| Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "McNamarra is a good coach who demands professionalism from his players, something Catalans need. He made a lot of progress with England, who were a lot closer to winning a competition than when he took over. Unfortunately some fans unrealistically want instant success and will criticise anyone who doesn't deliver it. The same will happen with Wayne Bennett.'"
Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "He is a crap coach.
The only peopl who would welcome this appointment are flat capers who do not want RL outside of the M62 corridor.
A sad day for the Catalans
A sad day for French RL
A sad day for Rl.'"

Based on his coaching success when he was appointed I was not wrong
But I am really pleased for Catalan and from where they were to winning a CC I think he has to be in the running for coach of the season . |
