Premiership winning coaches in both hemispheres

[rabbitohs95]

Arguing with my mate who is a Roosters tragic about who is the better coach between Robinson and Maguire.

Of course before we won the premiership this year he'd always say that Robinson was a premiership winning coach, but now that Maguire is one too i remembered; he won a comp with Wigan in 2010.

This brings up my question of; who are the other coaches who have won a competition in both hemispheres?

 

[Twatface Magee]

Madge is the better of the 2.
Easily.

 

[Perth Red]

Mal Reilly won the challenge cup coaching castleford and premiership with Newcastle.

 

[Chook Norris]

Madge is the better of the 2.
Easily.

In what way?

How they go about losing their star forwards will tell the tale.

Will be part of the tale. Both are still babies in the game.

Interesting none the less, one has gone out and purchased talent in Stewart & Grant the other seems content with promoting talent in house.

In what way?

He was given a premiership winning squad. Maguire built a premiership winning squad. He inherited a woeful backline. 5 of our back 7 made their debut under him.

Robinson is a top coach and a top bloke but Maguire needed to take us further than Robinson needed to take Easts.

Even if you believe that to be true that's just the set of circumstances under which they won their premierships, doesn't prove one way or the other who is the better coach. You can only coach what is in front of you.

Although I fear that basic logic is probably wasted on you.

John Monie.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Im pretty sure Chris Anderson won one over in England.

 

[ram raid]

I'm not sold on Robinson yet. If he can ply his trade at a club that isn't 2 million over the salary cup I'll be a believer.

 

[RWB]

Robinson also has back to back minor premierships to his name, not a feat that's often celebrated in Australia much but a pretty fair effort to have your side winning on such a consistent basis that you're taking out back to back minor premierships.

I still maintain 2-3 years is a ridiculously small period of time to compare the 2 though.

 

[roostersrule2]

Easily Macguire.

The only reason we won last year was the news of Remi Casty signing and the only reason we got to the preliminary this year, was through Remi's brilliant tactics.

Because Remi is gone, we will get the spoon.

Wow had no idea this was the case. Would have thought Manly and Easts were ahead of us. Awesome.

Either way they are among the very best and show what happens when smart clubs bring in fresh blood. Meanwhile dumb clubs keep prolonging the corpse of Ricky Stuart's career.

Anyone that can turn John Sutton from an absolute basket case of a footballer into a poor footballer is a pretty good coach in anyones books.

The eels could sort him out. The place where coaching careers come to die.

You do realise we finished 13th and 11th the 2 years prior to when Robbo took over?

 

[big country]

You do realise you had no Maloney, Jennings and SBW, etc in those years no?

 

[Valheru]

What etc? We had every other player unless you are claiming those 3 players are solely responsible for our success?
