took leigh from being easybeats to genuine play off contenders playing some superb stuff
{fyi there is another division under s/l}

his record at saints speaks volumes

ian has proved it at ALL levels

1. Daniel Anderson

Anyone could of coached that St Helens team of 2006 to what they did. In 07 and 08 St Helens where exposed for the flat track bullies they are by finishing the top of the league and losing out to the Leeds Rhinos in the Grand final. It would be great if someone can get his actions from the 2008 dressing room at half time. I nearly choked on my own laughter.

How he got taken seriously as a coach after that I do not know. Whoever is head of the Parramatta Eels must be an Oscar Lomax type character from Pyschoville -

This guy was exposed in the 2005 Tri Nations final when he couldn’t inspire the Australians to beat New Zealand. He knew he had to go to New Zealand to resurrect his career because that’s where the better players in the world where who he could inspire to beat his own country.

Again like Anderson he coached a team that anyone could of coached in the shape of Brisbane Broncos. Now he’s doing more a less the same with St George.

3. Steve McNamara

Tony Smith wasn’t behind England’s recent failure against the Aussies it was his assistant. No way could Tony Smith of coached that team once during the world cup.

Left it all to his assistant IMO.

hard to believe anyone can criticize bennett

Wow we are talking to a small worlder here....

Couldn't get a job in Australia so went to England.

Took Leigh too....who are Leigh again?

Went to St Helens and won a title...wow....like the guy before him, and the guy before him...and the bloke after Millward.....

Brian McClellen won a SL title.....that says it all!

Went to Wigan and got sacked.

Come back to Australia and was given some charity by Graham Murray. It ended in Murray getting sacked.

Millward took over for half a season and the Cowboys went on the longest losing streak in their history.

He got sacked.

So he went to Canberra as their assistant coach, and now they are having one of their worst seasons in their history.

What a great coach. Amazing.....

Ian Millward and Wayne Bennett at the same for coaching tatics. Its just that Wayne Bennett’s been lucky in the clubs he’s managed to blab his way into.

Who?

Overrated by who?

Anyone English or anything to do with the game that isn't in Australia

Terry Matterson

John Kear

Tony Smith.
He showed what he had with his team selections and tactics in last years World Cup.

Can't be.

He's never been rated.

Too easy a question to answer.

The person who is the "greatest thing since sliced bread" when appointed and adored by club and fans alike, epecially if something is won or something that was going to bad didn't happen.

The same person when nothing is won and something bad does happen is then overated by all.

Go figure.

At no stage though is it the players fault and at a pinch match officials or lack of technology at every match may be a crutch to use

Can't see how they can be overrated. No one has claimed them to be magnificent coaches.
