I suppose it comes down to wether a coach is deemed to be good if he can get a team to win consistently/more than other teams or just when it matters?
Peaking seems to be the way SL is going, both finalists were very hit and miss at the start of the season and are bang in form now.
Ask the rhinos fans who have been calling for macdermotts head all season if he's still crap or the best coach in the land, if they win GF.
Personally I think the rewards are the wrong way round, but that's my opinion and certainly not how SL seems to be developing.
All clubs and fans know the rules at the start of the season and it's up to each team to utilise it's squads and skills over the season to achieve the ultimate target of being crowned SL champions.
