i had millward down for that

Somebody like Sculthorpe, who has the respect of players, might not be a bad choice.

I really don't get why people think that a masterful wondercoach is needed at international level. The players all know how to play, and they're all fit - that's why they're there. Most teams play to the same patterns anyway, so there's probably not a lot they can offer in terms of tactics, even.

No, you need a motivator first and foremost, so why not a respected ex captain?

the only thing sculthorpe could coach is getting injured and niggling in the tackle.

And there's me thinking originality had died a death
