I guess because Rush took a failing team, and by bringing in a settled line up, including Hohaia at 6, has turned it into a better team.
We have won games but we might have done that anyway, regardless of who was in charge. Are we a better team under Rush? No.
Would he have been so successful with Gaskell at 6? We will never know.
We got to a Grand Final with Gaskell at 6 last year so if we hadn't been as 'successful' with Gaskell at 6 this season then chances are that would have been because Rush isn't good enough as a coach (which frankly I suspect is the case anyway).
But it will be interesting to see if Brown rates him highly enough to start ahead of Hohaia, or whether he still believes that none of our halfs are good enough, and brings in fresh blood.
I doubt he'll be allowed to bring in fresh blood in the halves. We have enough of them already! We're crying out for a couple of feisty props but it's unlikely we will get them either. We do have a turnstyle of a centre coming to join us though so that should be, er, great.
