Does a great player necessarily make a good coach?

Andrew Johnson was a great half-back without a doubt. But I'm not sure his coaching of our number 6 and 7 has paid any dividends this year.

It seems Moses is different minds what to do sometimes and confused.  His kicking in general play has gone backwards this year. 

Dylan Brown has not shown the improvement expected of him this year.

Maybe I'm wrong with my assessment.  What does everyone think?

  • Never heard of Andrew Johnson. Sorry.

  • Sorry typo auto spellcheck errir

    Should be Andrew Johns 

  • NO !!!!!!!!!!!!
    Been proven so many times in the past its not even a consideration.

    That said some do make great coaches.

  • Johns is a total waste of time. Hes a celebrity seeker and is a legend in his own mind.

  • I think you're asking too much of him - the dude was the 17th President of the USA, and has a complete lack of understanding of modern rugby league. Add to that the fact he's been dead for 151 years, and you can understand why this coaching appointment hasn't worked well. What was bushy thinking?!?!!

  • A shit player can make a shit coach, take Bea Arthur for example.

    • Bea Arthur played union - her height was a massive advantage in line outs.

      • your on a roll

        • Somebody stop me!
