I actually believe the coach is vitally important as evidenced by the change that Smith made when taking over from Lowes mid-season. We were on a 10 game losing streak across 2008/2009 and then in a few months we were lifting the Challenge Cup.'"
Of if you have a coach as good as Steve Price you can go on one of those losing streaks and win the Challenge Cup in the middle of it. |

I don’t know why we’re looking for a coach when Wayne Bennett is a forum member and fan. Can you genuinely list these playing/coaching credentials that you hint at with virtually every post. No, not another condescending remark just the credentials please. If they are as lofty as I’m led to believe I’ll be impressed. |

Mmm that was a 3 match losing streak before the Wembley win so not sure it's the same. |

Just press the "Ignore" button. He's not happy unless he is insulting fellow forum users or trying to supress opinions. Or indeed both simultaneously. |

If he’s an ex-GB coach then fair enough but if he is I’m surprised he doesn’t think professional players can deliberately drop a few gears (has happened numerous times in all sports). Mind you it probably didn’t happen in Woolston Rovers 1983 u14s reserve side’s div 3 title winning season.

I don't think I will be listing anything as I'm sure you wouldn't be impressed. But if you really believe that players ever lose on purpose ... honestly it's madness & as for the Monaghan idea ... wow. |

It's the same in terms of us being crap and playing dire rugby for a good month or so before and for the whole rest of the season after. |

I get what you're saying here.
With a similar quality of squad, who proved to be the better coach, TS or McDermott given that McDermott was arguably much more successful over a similar amount of time.
In an ideal world, both us and Leeds would probably want the style and excitement of TS with the accolades of McDermott. |

Yep so not a turnaround in the way that I think we can all agree Tony Smith achieved taking over from Lowes, which, after all, was my point.
Also, before your time, Tony Barrow achieved a great turnaround in the 1985/1986 season with a 10 game unbeaten run after replacing Reg Bowden mid season. |

Don't knock that team. If you played for them I'd be surprised. |

Did Tony Barrow get sacked or did he just move on ?We were brilliant under him. |

Got fired on December 1988. Had a fantastic squad at his disposal after some hefty investment, and made an absolute pig's ear of it.
His tenure wasn't the magical time many seem to think it was. |
