I think the defeat at Murrayfield showed us all how blasé we were getting under Millward, because we simply expected to win those Finals because we were so good.
But, Buddy has uncovered the elephant in the room here, and that is that none of the coaches we have had in Super League can really be considered GREAT. None of them have done much away from St Helens, and some have been unmitigated disasters after their time here. Great coaches can go from one club to another and build winning teams, and although I'll give Brown credit for re-viltalising Huddersfield and I'll give Potter credit for the way he handled a really sticky wicket at Bradford I don't consider any of the eight as top line elite coaches. A couple of them could prove me wrong yet though!
