Blah blah blah, you attack posters opinion and yet cannot even rebuff the arguments as to why you think they're wrong, frankly you should get back on the seven seas yourself!

| I personally think this was our best chance for 30 years to win it, that was probably one of the weakest Aussie sides I have seen.
As said above I think he got his side wrong, Bateman should have been in the backrow, Percival at centre, Williams should of have been given a run at 6,he is 10 times the player Brown is.
Mcmeeken and Taylor should have been in the 17.
IMO this side would have won the final

This is why he should go for me. If we're going to be successful over the next few years we need someone who is fully committed to the England job and not busy coaching an NRL team throughout the year. The England squad is going to change and evolve over the next 4 years and is a guy based over in Australia and too busy at club level the right man to see who should be the players we move ahead with.
The England coach should be based over here, watching SL players in action week in week out, in constant contact and meeting with those that are in his squad, those that could be in the future, those on the fringes or dropped out, at the mid season get togethers.

Head coach Australia Wayne Bennett

First team coach England Paul Wellens
Team manager England Jamie Peacock
So, Betts, Anderson and Wellens... hardly proven RL Coaches!

| If they would do it, I'd have Mcdemott as Head Coach, with Powell and Radford as assistants.

Powell has to be the man for job
We need to develop some half backs,and a decent full back although Widdop played really well.
We can match the best in the forwards but Powell is the man to throw a different game against the likes of Australia and create chances to score.
Yes you need defence but when you dont score you dont win.

Is it his amount of GF wins that upset you
Can understand people wanting Powell but does his showings in crunch games let him down? I'd also think it'd be very hard to get England playing like Cas given the short amount of time and games he'd have with the players.

Indeed. International coaches are different to club coaches. They arent together all the time working on things and improving players. Powell won't get England attacking like Cas just by spending a few weeks per year with them. An international coach needs to get his tactics right, pick the right team that is best suited to how he wants to play, motivate and man manage, and deal well with the media. There is very little actual coaching to be done.
I'm not saying Powell wouldn't be a good option btw, but anyone thinking that we just need to bring in Powell and we will start scoring for fun will end up disappointed.
