You're on to a good one here. First Season he plugged the fundamentals, as he gave us a solid defense and took us to 3rd, despite losing out on Todd Carney and Nathan Fien - created a HB partnership in two/three weeks, that was ultimately successful throughout the season. But out problem was always scoring points, something that Carney has no trouble creating and getting for teams, so it was all there. We got to the Challenge Cup Final too, and should have won it.
The Next Season we brought Danny Brough in, and to be fair, although he wasn't great early on, he got better throughout the season, and we started to score more, although around the middle of the season, we had a dip which was caused by people linking him and Brett Hodgson with jobs around the NRL and Warrington respectively - ending in a 60-4 loss to Warrington that was our heaviest defeat in a few years.
But he got all the players back to form, and had a knack of inspiring players for certain games, the 16-14(?) win at Wigan was inspired. We won out last 7 games, and went in on form. Going 20 minutes from the GF, losing to you
The Next Season we were tosh all year, but we just so happened to win a load of games early on. But we were tosh. I mean TOSH.
So;
1. Expect good defense
2. Expect nice Rugby
3. Don't expect it from the offset
4. Expect ups and downs
5. Don't see him as a long term coach haha.
Good luck to you all, I hope you have good times like we did with him
