I would have preferred an experienced coach who has won stuff as our next coach as I think that would have taken this group of players to the next level IMO. Preferably one who knew how to coach an open style of attacking rugby.
It's alright the club going on about its culture but if the only people they are going to recruit are former Saints players the club could become increasingly insular. Every place needs freshening up now and again. No doubt once Cunningham moves on it'll be Wello's turn to coach the team!
I have my reservations but just as with other coaches I'll give him my full backing for the first season. After that, well, he's just another coach and that he has played for us before won't matter one iota if I have to pay to watch 40 point drubbings!
