Did you know that Scottish brewery Brewmeister released a beer that is a whopping 67.5% ABV? From all reports it tastes like shit.

I think they'd both already blossomed well before they left. Otherwise the other clubs wouldn't have wanted them.

They certainly achieved more after they left. Don't forget Gorden Tallis either - also captained a premiership winning side after leaving Brian Smith.

No, they hadn't blossomed. They were both good to very good players at Parra. But they both became great players and great leaders at their respective clubs after they left. I think it's plucking a pretty long bow to suggest that Brian Smith had much to do with the ongoing success of Jamie Lyons. They hated each other.

I didn't say he produced the player. In fact I question how much any coach ever produces players. I am more inclined to think that some coaches are just better at identifying future stars than others.

There is also the certainty that some coaches (or leaders in general) foster environments where people are more likely to reach their potential, whether that be young players or the scout and recruiters that poach them. But no matter how good an environment is, and how much potential a person has, if they have a shit attitude they won't become the person they could be.
