You don't need charisma to be a coach. You need man management skills and know-how. Charisma is useful for the media, but that's about it really. According to reports just as he was leaving Catalans, he was known by the French team as The General. Maybe he's tough and quiet rather than tough and charistmatic?

Anderson took until 2007 to get into the swagger. Before that, people were making EXACTLY the same complaints about his lack of charisma.

I'd agree, people have short memories, when he has won a few trophies, i think we'll see a bit more confidence. At the othe end of the scale you have Cullen who talks a good game and is a rubbish coach, even given unlimited resources

That was a simple post game question and answer session for the RL printed press. Journos asked him questions about the game, he answered them.

I'd suggest that he might not have even known the video would be shown publically.

IMO there simply wasn't any need in that situation for charisma. He was there to fulfil has media obligations, the journos were there to fill their column inches with a few quotes.

What like everyone saw at half time in last years grand final!
