andy farrell is being blamed widely for rugby union being boring not sure how its his fault as he has only been in union for 8 or so years. Apparently englands structure is andy farrell fault.

Considering all the cr@p we had to read about Trent 'Who?' Robinson last year, I am inclined not to listen to Roosters fans and the Sydney media.

This is without doubt Steve or his agent attempting to force the issue by generating 'fake' interest. The Roosters have one of the most highly though of coaching staffs in the NRL after going from wooden spoon to Minor and Major Premierships in one year.

Aussie fans are as clueless as a lot of uk fans difference is they are completely ignorant to anything outside the NRL.

I saw Guscott moaning like hell about Rugby League coaches and their defensive attitude to the game. I read about it and recalled all the days in the 80s and 90s that I wasted trying to get excited about England RU. The free flowing rugby that was evident at the time. The wingers being constantly put in at the corner finishing a another majestic move. And I wondered where it all went wrong.

tell me about it. He does the coverage for OSN when the internationals are on, and when owen farrell got a punch of britts apparently it was farrell fault and he said he needed to grow up because he just laughed after being punched. Im not quite sure of the history of the bloke and why he is anti league but he is as bad if not worse than stuart barnes about rugby league players.

Guscott chickened out of playing for Bath v Wigan in the two cross code challenge matches in 1995. Not sure if he had an anti RL chip on his shoulder before that but he's never liked it that it got him christened Pussycat by RL fans. He didn't like the fact Wigan put 100 points on Bath RU in the match at Maine Road.

Probably also didn't like the fact his England RU career ended just as Phil Larder was enticed in to coach defence and then went on to help Engand RU win the RU WC, without Guscott. Anyway, just ignore Guscott and leave him to stew in his own juice.

Sm was going to Rooster to be Smiths assistant before he got the England job.

Agreed.

Steve McNamara wouldn't even get a job coaching Parramatta let alone the current premiers.

Maybe, but what has he brought to the sport?

Very little as a player and even less as a coach.

Guscott in the early 90s was trying to engineer a big money move to league (think Bradford was the club) but think they realised he was simply too soft to play league.
