Quote chapylad="chapylad"Our NRL appointment didn`t fare too well although I for one was happy with the appointment.
We then went for Agar who let`s face it had not done a right lot at previous clubs nor was he anywhere near to being the fans choice.
But he is steadily building and who knows with the inclusion of Sean Long another who would not be at the top of my Christmas list.
We might see Leeds return to being a major player in SL once again.
It`s nice to get a name as your head coach but sometimes the less proven ones can deliver equally as good as Grimmy has already pointed out.'"
Long is an interesting one as, imo, he's not too dissimilar to Lam, or even another great HB - Andrew Johns.
All three were great players, experienced plenty of success and are quite well regarded as specialist coaches. The only issue is that all three, to varying degrees, were 'Jack the lad' types and I wouldn't want any of them to be the head coach of the team I support.
I know I've bagged Lam a bit, but I do actually think he's a decent technical coach. I'd be over the moon if he was just an assistant here - kinda like the NRL system with real quality coaches providing specialist coaching. We had that before with Deacon and Harris - just imagine Lam working under Wane btw.
