English team = English coach
There are plenty of British coaches out there who can do a job for us, i dont now why we always look to Australians.
John Kear would be a decent bet, a great motivator for the underdog which we clearly are when going into these games. Vastly experienced internationally as well as at club level.

| Quote Eurob0y="Eurob0y"To be GB/England manager, you need the following.
1. To have been an average rugby player in your time and
2. To have achieved success on the back of inheriting someone elses club team.
We should be pulling out all the stops to get someone in, who is a winner. A proper winner.
Who? Is anyone idea. Who would want the job?'"

Kear has failed already though, plus I dont particularly rate him that much |

Kear? Tried, tested and failed at this level.
2 CC wins in 20 odd attempts does not make someone a good coach. |

= irrelevant.
There is no room for parochialism when it comes to appointing a person who can prepare a team for games. |

I agree - Kear did a fantastic job of motivating the England team in the 2000 world cup - at least he kept England's record defeat to less than 50 points, eh?  |

Hanley already coached the GB setup in 1994 - it didn't work then, and I don't see any reason why it would work now - the issue is the quality of players available, not the person at the helm. |

Really? In that case why do we even bother having a coach/manager? Why dont australia just pick 17 men and tell them to do what they want? |

I've got to be honest and say I half suspect the aussies could still beat us in a 3 game series if they did do that.
As to the facetiousness of your comment - you know very well what I mean. If you don't have the right quality of players available, the best coach in the world could not win a tournament for you, and by the end of it morons like yourself would be calling him a bad coach all of a sudden and calling for his head.
Tony Smith took a Huddersfield team that were utterly abysmal, and over the course of 2 years got them re-promoted to the SL and playing competetive RL to a reasonable standard by SL's standards - he then went to Leeds, who'd always had a good playing roster on paper but hadn't achieve anything for decades, and took them to a championship winning team in his first year - something which his predecessors could not manage.
Smith is not a bad coach - the quality of English players available for this tournament however, was unfortunately sub-par. |
