Well, that was always the script, but does it necessarily follow? Aussie coaches don't rate SL and success here doesn't impress them. Maguire was pointedly referred to as a rookie when he arrived at Souths after success at Wigan.
On the other hand, many coaches who are only moderately successful such as Nathan Brown and Trent Robinson get top positions over there. They may have referred to Maguire as a rookie but that could have been in terms of his NRL pedigree. Let's be honest, it didn't take them long to poach him after success over here.
Interestingly ex SL coaches keep winning the title over there too. I'm sure that can't have gone unnoticed amongst their club hierarchy.
I'm inclined to agree. Madge was snatched back by the NRL before he'd even completed his Wigan contract, so while it's also a familiar script that the Aussies pay no attention anyone or anything that happens in the British game, the evidence suggests otherwise.
I see no reason why Lammy couldn't just be over here short-term to put himself in the shop window for the NRL. People can dismiss that as spin to disguise a PR stunt, but if that was the case, I can't understand whyd Lammy would have agreed to participate.
