Greatest coach of all time?

[POPEYE]

Toss up between Gibson & Massey and Bellamy & Smith

 

[bad boy bubby]

Only one coach has achieved the unachievable. Even premiership coaches Gibson, Lang, Anderson, Stuart, Provan couldn't bring the holy grail.
Shane Flanagan stand up.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Hahahahahaha Trent Robinson in the list. Classic.

Jack Gibson followed by daylight, then Wayne Bennett and Craig Bellamy, followed by Trent Robinson.

Jack Gibson's record is unequaled in the annals of rugby league. He took an Eastern Suburbs team that in 1966 didn't win a game, and in 1967 turned them into semi-finalists. Then in 1974-75 he won back to back Grand Finals with Easterrn Suburbs. Later he won with Parramatta. He has been there and done that.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Why aren't Des Hasler (Manly), Geoff Toovey (Manly) or Ivan Cleary (NZ Warriros 2011) on the list?

I am not suggesting that they are nearly as good a Jack Gibson the King, or Prince Wayne Bennett or Prince Craig Bellamy. But they are nearly as good as Count Trent Robinson.

lol@TrentRobinson being on the list.

I came in here to post Paul Green, it seems i beat myself to it 2 years ago.

way to go, me.

What you beat yourself to is none of our concern.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Trent Barrett is the GOAT, Manly are duds on paper imo,did well to get these duds into the top 4

Not sure how Bellamy could be on that list...surely a wooden-spoon winning coach shouldn't be mentioned amongst the best!

 

[toomuchsoup]

Ricky 100%

 

[beave]

How many coaches have had their team win a GF even though they were behind when the fulltime hooter went????.......

Not many coaches can win more games than 70% of the comp in a wooden spoon winning season

Must have just been a really tough comp that year. Kudos to the team that won the premiership, clearly they are the greatest premiership team in history!

I agree

Same survey next year, ivan cleary

I think Tim Sheens case is hurt by his failure with the Cowboys and his disappointing exit with the Tigers. He won a premiership with the Tigers but they only made the finals 3 out of the 10 years he was there.

Warren Ryan is interesting one, he won two premierships with the Bulldogs, but the failure to win the 1989 Grand Final with the Tigers may still haunt him when he substituted Steve Roach and Paul Sironen off the field. I've read that he was a master tactician and some of his strategies are still used by coaches today.

Kevin Walters.

Yeh, I said it!

 

[Pedge1971]

Rick Stone

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I would consider it a trinity of Gibson, Bennett and Ron Massey.

Even uttering Bellamy in the same breath is an insult to the game.
