As a player, he was outstanding although I’m not sure how much his excellence was magnified by the many, once-in-a-generation players around him.

For me his true worth as a coach, and something I cannot forgive, is measured by the fact that his contributions made me seriously consider giving up watching rugby league after 30+ years as a season ticket holder.
