The worst coach in the NRL is...

[Y2Eel]

Brian Smith. All those clubs and all those great teams with great players and he hasn't been able to go all the way.

I won't say he's the worst, but I will say he's the most underachieving.

I dont know about under achieving Look at the state of the clubs when he first arrives there? The eels in 96 had a terrible squad look what he had done with them... He has had his chances though...

Hagen on the other Hand Gifted 2 great teams and look what he has done with them...

It was 8 times in 10 years AD, quite impressive. Not to mention 2 minor premierships.

 

[Beez]

I'll take Brian Smith back over Hagan any day of the week.

Smith is the greatest coach not to win a premiership.

yeah sorry just realised mow that i did a typo with the 20. Its a pretty good achievement consdering he took over sides that were in a shambles...

 

[Fibroman]

Elliott. No questions asked.

 

[Knightmare]

It's making me laugh, remembering how all the Parra fans were telling us last year that we had a bum deal getting Smith and how Hagan would turn their club around because "He's won a premiership!"

Also interesting to note how non-existent the anti- Hagan bandwagon is in the News Ltd. press right now. :roll:

Maybe Smith is destined to become coach of the Sharks? :lol:

Er, Smith started with the Eels in 97, at which point they had Dymock, Jason Smith, Pay, McCracken, John Simon etc.

Can't say I disagree with you though in reards to Hagan.

That's not true. Not all Parra fans were saying you got the raw end of the deal.

No one can turn a team of talented free-flowing dynamic footballers into a bore-a-thon like Matty Elliott can.

His teams seem to win despite the one dimensional game plans. Penrith are 100% better when they trust their gut and throw the footy around. Not to mention many of his baffling selection policies.

It's a blessing in disguise that some of their veteran players have been injured so it forces him to put in the young fellas.
