Not won anything, hard to judge this really

I'll give him 6 months before I slate him. He's done a good job at Huddersfield, providing it's him that has built their squad. They have got a fabulous, young, dyamic squad and look set for success. In fact it looks so rosy at Huddersfield with the quality of their young players that it confuses me as to why he would come to Saints now. He's 90% of the way through turning Huddersfield into champions and he walks away to join a Saints squad which is pretty near to the start of it's development I'd say.



He didn't stay with Huddersfield as he kept moaning on about returning to the NRL. So are we now going to adopt their insecurity and have to see him linked to every NRL vacancy and him potentially leaving part way through his deal, or has he forgotten his desire to return home now?



On the whole it looks a reasonable move by McManus. A coach with a solid Super League record and some NRL experience signed early in the season. It gives them plenty of time to meet up to discuss recruitment and get the ducks in a row.

It's a good call for me. A guy whom the players will respect. He lets his Huddersfield team express themselves as well, which is good. Still no mention of the plan for the rest of this season, I notice.

Rush is doing it, isn't he? He said he'd do it for as long as they need him.

He did, but he also implied it might only be as a couple of weeks or a month.

Hope he rates Jamie Lyon





Good young coach and although he has not won anything with the Giants, that could change this year?



Welcome to the REDVEE again

Could that not be because at the time he said that, they hadn't agreed a deal with anyone?



It would be a pretty unusual situation for another interim coach to be brought it, just for the end of the season. There were the rumours about Daniel Anderson doing it when he comes over for the Exiles game, but he has denied this.

What had Anderson won when he was appointed?

Or Millward.

I think this is a very good signing for Saints. They have a crop of good youngsters coming through, and you can see what Huddersfields younger lads have achieved under Browns tutelage. He's even made journeymen players look good in Kevin Brown and co. I think he'll go well, plus he's used to the red vee

Confirmed by Saints on twitter that Rush has the job till the end of the season.
