he's a presence, but thats about it, not a lot of coaching nous for mine
He has big enough pull to get quality assistants and the best off-field support staff.
Perth is going to be hard enough to attract players due to the distance.
Meninga makes perfect sense from an attraction point of view to lure talent over.
Perth need to hit the ground running from day dot.
I dont rate Mal as a coach but what he does great is have quality around him to do the coaching so all he has to do is manage the media and environment for the players.
How much coaching does Wayne Bennett do these days. He leaves it all to his assistants and manages the personalities in the group
