I was just about to ask the same thing! Could someone explain why would his appointment lead to the club improving on the field?
He's assistant coach at Wests Tigers, who play one of the most entertaining brands of rugby in the NRL. He's also assistant coach for the Aussie national side, both of which must speak of his competence to even the most determinedly cynical?
Personally, I believe he'd have the same kind of positive influence on the club that other NRL assistant coaches have had in SL; Michael Maguire, Nathan Brown and Trent Robinson spring to mind.
Working at assistant level in the NRL is clearly equipping some coaches with the right skills and experience to transform the culture of SL clubs and instill a winning mentality - I'd like a piece of that action, ta very much.
