    Default Greatest Coach - Poll

    Rugby-League.com's latest poll is to vote for the greatest coach, presumably ever.

    My suggestion is don't f***ing bother, because the people who drew up the list must be simpletons. I'm really not sure what the criteria is, because it's farcical. The choices are:

    Mal Reilly
    Brian McDermott
    Shaun Wane
    John Kear
    Wayne Bennett

    often success as a coach is a combination of a good coach and a good group of players.

    The acid test is to win Silverware with more than one team.

    Tony Smith had success a few times with Leeds and Warrington

    John Kear with Sheffield and Hull

    Alex Murphy won the cup with Leigh and Warrington but the Leigh one was as a player coach, not too sure about Warrington.

    Jim Sullivan was a bit before my time but I think he won trophies with Saints and Wigan

    On that basis, somewhat reluctantly, I'd have to put Tony Smith has best U K based coach


    I know some of the Aussie coaches have won trophies over here and then back in Australia but I'm not too well up on them

    Just to clarify a point. The original list was six and to be fair to the RFL they told Double Glazed Gary he couldn't pick himself.

    The RFL are a Leeds rabble and let's just remember one of our coaches won a World Cup a Championship and a Challenge Cup. Jim Chanillor take a bow. Seriously the RFL won't have heard of him.

    Only two coaches have won the League leaders (or equivalent), Challenge Cup and been champions of Super League and also won the Aussie Grand Final. Neither of those are on that list, most strange?

    Maguire & Monie?

    Think it's because of the underhand tactics that may have crept in on the odd occasion. Certainly didn't win with any class that's for sure
