But you originally quoted it was a team full of u20s,it quite clearly wasn't.

Throughout the season it was. I didn't refer to the GF alone; you did that. I said he got us there with a team of u20s, which sometimes that is what we had pretty much.

Rush quite rightly couldn't get us there this season.But Rush never applied for the Head Coach job and never wanted it full time.Perhaps he knew his limitations.

Rush was our head coach for most of the season. He didn't turn down the offer so presumably everyone thought he was capable of it, most of all him given his repeated boasts about his own achievements throughout the season. Therefore, he is to be judged in exactly the same way as any other head coach we have had. He failed to do what Simmons and Potter had managed to do (but Simmons with so many young players throughout the season).

Anyway its all history now but just a thought,if Simmons is that good a coach,how come he is potters assistant and not the other way round?

Daniel Anderson got sacked from Paramatta Eels. Does that mean he was a rubbish coach? Of course not. Simmons probably wanted an assistant role after the way he was treated here. He's not a spring chicken so I'd say he's probably opted just to enjoy his job and let someone else take the poo instead. Wise man if so.

Well if you enjoyed watching some of the stuff we played under Simmons,good for you.I didnt.Im not going to argue this out with you because unlike you i simply dont have the time to spend on here.Just one last thought though,after the debacle at Bradford,did you honestly see us finishing third and being 80 mins from the Grand Final under Simmons?

Simple:
Potter>Simmons

Everyone knows that, don't they?

Simmons is obviously a good coach, just not a good head coach. Not everyone has the ability to make the step up effectively.

Good luck to him. If Matty Elliot can still get jobs in the NRL then Potter more than deserves a shot.
