If you have ambitions to be a coach then you will have got the badges required.
If we are appointing coaches without the required credentials then we are going down the wrong track IMO, Unless thats what all successful clubs do.'"
paul cullen has coaching badges, doesnt mean hes a good coach  |

I find it hard to believe that Blackmoor has no coaching qualifications as he was voted Coach of the year in NZ in 2010 and coached the Auckland Vulcans to the Grand Final of the NSW cup (one of the leagues below (and a feeder league to) the NRL).

| Quote: never a dull moment "vendetta seems a bit strong tipster.he wasnt a success as coach.
he worked with Basil who is said to have had an input into the next choice so, presumably, he didnt reccommend him.
he apparently has a 2,3 or 4 year contract, dependant on which post you read on here, at a time we are making people redundant ,or short paying them.
we are told some applicants for the job withdrew when they heard what money was on offer.does that mean we are over committed on the money we are paying the existing coaching staff, cant afford to pay them off and that has cost us the coach we really wanted.
This is nothing personal against anyone its just another one of those debatable areas within the club that leads to rumour, frustration and debate.
not having a manager/coach in place now is not ideal lets hope the applications to ukba are in order and we move on'"
He's never been coach he was caretaker after a disastrous reign under Kelly. Incidentally last coach Basil picked was Darren Shaw |

It would seem that the English RFL requires more advanced coaching 'badges' than Australia and New Zealand. Hence our domination of those two nations, at international level, this past 20 years! |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Would YOU rather fly in a plane piloted by a mechanic who knows how it works , or a pilot who's been flying planes for years ?

why, was he a bad coach (apart from 'talking weird' in post match interviews) Think Whitehaven fans would disagree.

I'd take the mechanic everyday.
A retired pilot or a rookie may think he's good, might have been good even, but the reality is he might not be as good as he thinks he is nowadays as things change by the hour let alone by the day , its easy to get out of touch.
The mechanic will be working to structures , have a pilots licence and know about the overall picture and the ins and out of the Aircraft not just how to fly / taxi it so if he thinks he has no idea he has a reference or a group of people to bounce ideas off. |

Nobody said he had a pilots licence , he's a mechanic
And who mentioned a ' retired ' pilot 
I'd not want the pilot fixing the plane , but I'd damn sure not want to mechanic flying it  |

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

| I remember Murph saying that once he got summoned to do a coaching badge....about the late 80's.
Of course he did it and said the only thing it taught him after sitting though a couple of sessions (being taught by someone who'd never actually coached a real team) was that it made him realise why there were no decent coaches any more.
He always said you can't teach someone how to coach, you can only teach them the rules, and no matter how many badges or levels you have if you haven't got 'it' then you're just wasting your time. His hero was (and still is) Jim Sullivan and said he learned more about coaching from him than he could have learned in a thousand years in a classroom. |
