Wire SL Coaches in a Word : Sat May 18, 2024 6:21 pm  

Thought this might be an interesting topic.
What one word best describes your view of the coaches we had / the way played?
No right or wrong.

I'll reserve judgment on Sam because he's not been through a season yet or had fans turn on him (but did initially put 'special' down after listening to him on a podcast and then 'hopeful').

Powell chaos
Price dour
Smith professional
Lowes wrong
Cullen passionate
Plange unfortunate
Andreson crazy
DVDV favouritism
Dorahy overrated

I think Powell's approach was a bit ham fisted at times but we did need to ship out a number of players and change things up. Players telling the club when they will train etc. He also made some excellent signings that we are benefiting from now. He left us in a better shape squad wise than Price did.

Powell Devisive
Price Boring
Smith Almost
Lowes Mistake
Cullen Loved
Plange Caretaker
Anderson Pitiful
DVDV. Alfie
Dorahy Intransigent

Bit unfair to describe price as boring considering some of the massive wins and finals he helped us reach. If we had won the big one when we had the chance, we could play boring rugby all season.

Exactly that, or "Wasteful" or "Squanderer".

Re: Wire SL Coaches in a Word : Mon May 20, 2024 8:28 pm  

Cullen - proud

Or "underappreciated" seeing some of the other suggestions

Give over. He was the luckiest coach in SL
Few years at Whitehaven then he was in charge of a multi million pound squad featuring some exceptional players and still could only make the play offs now and again, couldn't get us to defend and won absolutely nowt. After us never coached again for any meaningful period.

Don't give me "saved us from relegation" stuff. He won less games than Plange.
