Doubtful

I'd like to see influences from other sports at the top (RFL).
Even someone like Woodward could possibly add something to the table.

If we want to beat the Aussies we're going to
a) Get a LOT more juniors involved
b) Come up with something very different

Maybe look to the NFL for tips on power, maybe not tips even analyse full coaching setups, top level martial arts for balance and control of movement, core stability, even soccer could probably teach us a thing or two.

Are you by any chance the guy who is trying to run the forum Rugby League Today?
I seem to see similarities in your posts to the ones Dicko posts on his abortion of a forum....if it is you,you will have noticed how a decent forum is run,and without little AIMz.

Sorry mate,it's only your wishful thinking that makes you say incorrect,just watch the replay again(if you dare) and you will see the vast difference in pace.

Now, now, don't start shouting and get yourself worked up, we don't want you to start insulting everyone and get banned under this name as well. You'll have to fall back on your other hobby of wearing the Phil Gould mask and tugging yourself off into a mirror.

Be a good boy and take the medicine then come back when you have something meaningful to contribute.

yeah we did'nt do bad considering we have no backs & our halfbacks are kids..nah not bad at all to beat the world champions and run the aussies close for an hour...not bad at all i reckon

You poms are so one-eyed,I guess that when the next Four Nations Tournement comes around,you will all be remembering how we 'NEARLY' beat the Aussies last time....it's no good trying to educate you lot.

We were more bothered about beating the world champions. Something you didn't manage to do.

It does sound like League Freak, another post mentions the need of 'educate' us, a classic freakism.

Anyway, this thread has been diverted long enough by banal attacks on our game.
Dreamer's post is absolutely correct, and in line with the direction the RFL clearly want to go. They are appointing a person in essentially two positions. A director of Elite Rugby, a la Rob Andrew in Yawnian, and a team manager / coach to be accompanied by assistants (who in our case are presumably head coaches or assistants in SL) like that tall one from the goonies who is in manager of the Yawnian team.

This will take a special individual who would hopefully not disire a club coaching role before the next world cup. Hence, we find ourselves looking at two ends of a spectrum. Either, a very experienced individual who would feel they have done all they can at club level, or a dynamic and articulate young former player who has no immediate desire to coach at club level but has a passion for the game and solid ideas about the way forward.

That individual should be based in England throughout the course of the year overseeing the development of the deep structures, whilst surrounded by experience and wisdom whilst in charge of the England team. In that respect, I don't see this role as one for an Australian. An Aussie might serve in some advisory role, but the decisions and direction need to be led by the man at the top and seen through over a number of years.

not one-eyed at all...


what i'm doing is taking the positives out of a team of no hopers and kids beating the world champions and running the aussies close for an hour....


i,for one, was very happy with our entire 4 nations performance..and our kids and no hopers now know what to expect next time

Gee,I should have known you weren't interested in winning the Four Nations or breaking the 37 year losing drought against Australia,...you beat the World Champions NZ didn't you?

[sizeCONGRATULATIONS[/size

All I can say is,....you are very easily satisfied,you have known for the last 37 years "what to expect next time" but you cannot do anything about it.........It isn't a case of "Will Australia win"but "how many they will win by"
I am prepared to back Australia to beat England by 30 points the next 3 times they play each other.

good for you...and i'm keep backing us to beat you
