Quote Phuzzy="Phuzzy"I don't get this "doing well at a perceived smaller club" being more impressive than at a bigger/more successful club. Hull KR have done well this year but as yet have won nothing. KR have been there or thereabouts for a couple of years, have some of the best players in the comp and spend up to cap. Why is Willie Peters winning nothing (so far) more impressive than Peet winning everything? Being at a big club is no guarantee of success. Just ask Rohan Smith, Paul Wellens, Steve McNamara or a succession of Hull FC coaches.'"
When it comes to analysing a coaching performance it's tough. Whether getting more out of less is better than actually achieving success with better players is more impressive or not, it's clearly the mark of a great coach when he can get a team of lesser players over achieving.
I don't disagree with what you say about Hull KR though, they've got a very good team so it's hardly like some big underdog story. I'd have Rowley over him, most people predicted Salford to be 11th before the season and they've finished 4th with the 2nd best home record in the league. It's frankly incredible what he's done there despite losing his best players.
Obviously wouldn't grumble with Peet winning it either
