It was all sunshine, Lollipops and rainbows when Freddy started too.

He was a favorite son.

The only difference is that we have a 5/8th who can actually play.

Very genuine and smart,,,no wonder the players loved him,,lets just hope he can transfer his knowlegde towards our team successfully

sounds very impressive, willing and knowledgeable. Seems like he really wants to get onto the players' level which could be a very good thing

[Guest]

The players level seems to be fighting to avoid the wooden spoon every year so let's hope he is a fair way above that

[Muffdaddy]

Isn't he only here for one year before Bellamy joins, and he becomes his assistant?

I agree. If they can come out in round 1 and play with structure and a game plan he will win most of us over immediately i would think?

Well Robinson hasn't been fighting to avoid the spoon since he joined Catalans.

We've only got SBW for a year. IMO we are planning to win in 2013.

Melon said it & it looks like he was right.
Bellamy is NOT coming.
SBW for 2 years (at least).

All good words but lets hope that he is strict with the players and not here to be best buds with them. We need someone who wont put up with the amount of penalties we get and tactically very clear with them cause sometimes they seem to be coming out to play with little purpose. All I'm excited about next year is knowing that SBW will be here and will give 100% as he has done for rugby. Of course not to forget the prospect of RTS, Tautau and Toupo getting a big boost from SBW.

If Sonny Bill signs for more than 1 year, he has to go begging to the NRL to allow him to play in a different code (i.e. Japanese Rugby) in the 2013 off season. Since that code is offering him $1m for 10 games, he would be a complete idiot to sign for more than 1 year. I reckon we can count on having SBW with us for at least 3 years, but 1 year at a time.

then when we win sbw will stay on to win again.. he rather likes winning!

Freddy was before his time, and I get the feeling that we haven't seen the last of him at coaching level.

When he was brought in, it was like having the class clown get up and teach the students who are in his class. It was never going to work out at that time.
