There's a guy called LeagueFreak who runs a blog and a twitter account. Great guy to follow.
Anyway, he writes about both the nRl and the Super League. He argued that Walters was terrible for the Catalans Dragons. I think because of the success of McGuire, we're all willing to go with coaches from the Super League even though most of us have no idea how they went, their coaching style etc.
I watched the 2004 GF today, and I think Folkes would be a wonderful coach. That Bulldogs team of the early noughties defended better than the Storm do today.
I think it will be Parish though. Seems like that's where this saga is heading towards.
