Quote: i8no-one "Wigan, well we will see, Noble was 80 mins from the last 2 GF so he did ok, but McGuire has strengthened the defence, but as yet they have won sweet FA.
Cullen was one of the lads, and no doubt did not do the squad justice. The squad is better now than when he had it. The new players have had 2 seasons to get up to speed, the thing that Cullen did not have. Look at Richards at Wigan, he is superb, was garbage first 18 months.
I also did not say They, I said Smith could not get a gig down under !
Brown should be at the top of the comp with that lot at Shudds mate !
All aussies and Kiwi's out now!!!'"
OK - I will agree to disagree with you and offer 1 last word as we are starting to go round in circles.
But the fact remains that the 3 clubs mentioned are all operating on what you would assume are the same budgets as the last few years (longer for Wire & Wigan) but with the Aussies in charge are undoubtably better sides than with the previous Brits in charge - this is an undisputable fact.
Maybe its down to better player recruitment at Wire and Hudds, but ultimately the coach is normally in charge of both aspects and on a similar ish budget the Aussies get results but the UK boys dont.
