Let me ask you a question: What coaching experience did the following have prior to taking over at Saints?...
1) Shaun McRae
=#FFFFFFBegan his coaching career as assistant at Canberra Raiders in the early 1990s. Appointed Head Coach with Saints in 1996
2) Ellery Hanley
=#FFFFFFAppointed coach of the Great Britain team during the Ashes series of 1994. Appointed Head Coach at Saints in 1999
3) Ian Millward
=#FFFFFFTook up a position with Illawarra Western Suburbs after retiring through injury in 1983. Had spells with Wollongong University & as an assistant coach with the Steelers. His 1st senior appointment came at Leigh in 1998 in the 3rd tier of the game. Moved to Saints in March 2000
4) Mick Potter
=#FFFFFFStarted as assistant coach at Bradford from 1996-1999. Took over coaching position for the New South Wales Under-17s. Coached St. George Illawarra's Premier League side (Not NRL side) for 4 years. Appointed Head Coach at Catalans in February 2006, joined Saints in 2009.
Daniel Anderson was probably the most successful pre-Saints reaching 2 Grand Finals, though Royce probably had the most experience in terms of time-served as first grade coach.
