If he's so good why's he not got a NRL gig?

If Richards and Maguire are so good, why are they at Wigan ?

Richards has won the NRL grand final.
Maguire couldnt get a head coach job due to there being none available time and his lack of experience as a head coach, but if you believe the press he could walk into a head coach job over there now if he wants.

Your excuse for Lord Tony Smith?

TOUCHE

He isn't going back to Australia.

My turn
Why isn't Richards still in the NRL or have plans to go back if he's that good ?
The guy in your avatar went back.

Doesn;t answer the question

Could quite simply go round in circles
NSW was only asking presumably because the thread is about Tony Smith being 'that good'

Neither did Yed to the original question

He is 'that' good as is Maguire and Richards but just because he/they aren't in Australia means love all.

Yes we all know Australia are better than us but that's like saying why is Rooney not in Spain ?

because he isn't is the answer.


If you or NSW can tell me/us why you think he isn't that good i'm all ears.

Richards has won the NRL Grand Final so probably wanted to win the SL Grand Final which he has.

Wigan is a skipping stone for Maguire to the NRL, hes not got a head coaching job in the NRL because of his lack of experiance which hes now gaining at Wigan. Alot of NRL clubs have apprently already been chasing him.

If that was the case then who's to say he won't go back now he's got an almost (you lost that recent 'freindly') full array of medals ?

Football is nothing like Rugby League.
I rate Tony Smith as a coach but as an Australian coach who's been in hotseats for 10 years now he would of got a job in the NRL if he was as good as some people on this thread are suggesting IMO
Done brilliant for Wire though, would of liked to see Paul Cullen stay a bit longer though

Probably... apparently... don't mean anything.

Lord Tony is [iTHAT[/i good. As i am sure McGuire is. As Yed says asking why they aren't somewhere is stupid. They just aren't!

He likes winning Challenge Cups

David Furner - Canberra. Ivan Henjak - Brisbane, Neil Henry - NQ Cowboys , Daniel Anderson - Parramatta. You have to have your together, if you want to come on here talking .

Add John Lang to Souths, too.

Oh yes; Brian Smith to Easts and Rick Stone stepping up at Newcastle.
