Sharp is a cracking coach IMO and did a good solid job at Hudds but was just unable to take them that step further! He aint up to a Wigan level club yet but would do a great job at Cru!

Bad for Celtic? A coach with a SL record of getting into playoff's before and usually always at elast in top 8 i'd say that's pretty good wouldn't you?

Or is anyone else (bar Noble) about?

Jon Sharp is absolute gash as a head coach, he took Hudds back and undid some of the good work done by Tony Smith. Fortunately Hudds have got a proper head coach again now.

Sharp is a great assistant, but my left buttock is a better head coach than Jon Sharp.

Just be glad Celtic fans that you've got a proper head coach in Noble and Sharp will effectively be his assistant

Too right that n*b head Sharp took us from 10th under Smith to 5th and from losing away to lowly Hunslet in the Challenge Cup under Smith to beating Leeds in a semi and our first CC Final in 44 years

Wasnt going a whole season unbeaten, getting promoted, finishing tenth in first season back in SL and setting in place a good academy system not good enough for you?
Sharp's successes were on the back of Smith's work at the club. You conveniently missed out what happened last season, oh yes you finished tenth. Whats happened now you've got a decent head coach who players actually want to play for? Oh look you finished 3rd.

Sharp is a great assistant coach, but pathetic as a head coach. Same goes for Agar at Hull.

You are clueless. Smith finished bottom and was relegated. then had a team funded by Davy with the likes of steve Mac/ Thorman/ Gene/ Turner/ St Hilaire/ Reilly. In their first season back they lost to Hunslet in the C Cup probably the worst defeat of a SL club in the tournament. The Giants finished 10th mariginally ahead of Wakey - the year Fax went into meltdown and lost all but one game.

Smith did a decent job. Attributing sharp's successes to Smith is laughable.

The suggestion that Smith created a good academy system at the giants is the most laughable comment of the lot. You are kidding. he had no interest in the scholarship / 18s etc. None.

You obviously know FA about the Giants so stop making an ar5e of yourself.

I do not have to re write history to highlight Sharp's weaknesses. You seem capable of little else.

Sharp was good at taking avaerage players, getting them reasonably fit and devising a game plan that got the most out of them. A very structured approach. he struggles with more talented and spontaneous players, ones with minds of their own (thus Drew leaving the club early). To be a top coach you need to be able to manage these players.

So at Celtics / Salford / Quins etc Sharp would do a decent job.

HTH

And what did Sharp do with a team funded by Davy, after a few years of consolidation and without the threat of relegation? Finish 10th.

No thats why theres no-one coming through the system now is there?
I must have imagined those young lads coming through the Hudds system and playing for the 1st team this year

You obviously know FA about RL if you think Jon Sharp is a good head coach

True, nobody has to rewrite history to highlight Sharp's weaknesses, they're plain for all to see.

Feck me, Christ I could take average players, get them fit and tell them to do 5 drives and kick

Exactly, which is what makes him a rubbish head coach along with the fact he doesnt have the personality or the mindset for being a head coach.

Assistant yes, head coach no.
and obviously some SL clubs have seen those same failings since he was sidelined at Hull and cant even get a better job than assistant at the SL's bottom club
