Cunningham demonstrated through his career that he's got an excellent rugby league brain. Like Wane at Wigan, he won't have any problems motivating his players. And being a St.Helens fan, I don't think he'll tolerate less than 100% effort from any individuals who pull on that Saints jersey.
Some people questioned whether he'd have the type of contacts that other more experienced coaches have. He can call on many well known former/current players & coaches in both hemispheres.
He said he's not going to change anything, but it wouldn't surprise me if encouraged more flair and off the cuff rugby from our main playmakers, and more offloads from the forwards.
