Hanley was a terrific player, one of the very best I’ve seen play.
His coaching record kind of sums him up though...
One year at Saints, wins it with a quality side then gets suspended and later sacked...
Goes to union...comes back to league and joins up with Cas and lasts two months, then goes to Doncaster and after just over a year packs in...not seen since in over 10 years...and he’s your saviour? Be a pretty expensive one too I’d imagine!
No thanks...

The absolute despair on his face when Bill went off injured. We have lost a player in every game post lockdown. |

| Quote: ricardo07 "As you say Vastman each to is own but Hanley won the league as coach of St Helen's.
I am not suggesting he be made coach or even that with him we would win a trophy.
However what he does is bring in a mental toughness and a higher bar for setting standards.
Any young player can only be inspired by him and the more senior players will certainly improve as a result of him being around.
Suggest that anyone having doubts should watch his 2 month spell for Balmain in 1988 which had the Aussie public drooling at his class.'"
Oh come on I could have coached that team which he inherited, he then completely wrecked it and got sacked!
As for being a great player well that is not in doubt, however this has nothing to do with coaching at all.
Frankly giving Hanley the job would destroy the club and you’d be begging to see Chester back imho. |

I too was coaching under nines at the time (wonder if we know each other  ) and just wonder if you caught Ellery on the wrong day. I had several dealings with him and he seemed to go out of his way to be helpful if he could. He was unbelievably fit and strong and a great player, but as others have said not the greatest coach.

I think the comments are a bit tongue in cheek. Chill man.  |

I joined the police in 1989 and quickly got told that Hanley had been one of the most prolific burglars in Leeds prior to his rugby days.
All credit to him for turning it around though.

Unrelated and somewhat irrelevant but I don't think he could read or write when he was picked up for Bradford. A mates dad was tasked with helping him out with the old bill as and when the need arose.
Once in a generation player but if Hanley is the answer then I am not sure what the question is.

Cheated half the time by hanging around 20 yards up field, and then lo and behold there he was in support of a break. The rules were tweaked to stop it I think.

If they changed the rules to stop him, he was clearly not cheating. |

Well OK, not strictly cheating, took advantage of a situation which imo was unsporting, deliberately being "offside" up field even though he wasnt offside, or something like that |

Come on PT, Hanley was a cheat, I bet even his mum would agree on that. Great player without question but an also a genius rule breaker. |
