Based on what are you so sure he's a supercoach? Bit early to be giving Kev the boot..

especially for a guy who has literally coached 1 single game with a team that would have a salary cap value of about $15 million

Can anyone seriously name a bad player from either side? Coates was pretty ordinary but given he was taken off, I'll give him a pass because he might have warmed to the task a little more. Crichton got thrown to the wolves, Staggs looked threatening at times but didn't get too much ball and also didn't really go looking for it. Genuinely struggling to think of a bad player. Great game.

Luai was pretty ordinary.

That's a fair shout. Same with Cleary, not the same player without his pimples. But were they ordinary or just well contained?

Second only to a Broncos win over the Storm.

It's amazing the team you can build if you don't have a cap to worry about.

I'm not giving Coates a pass mark, he gets folded back every time he takes a hit up and for a bloke of his size it shouldn't be happening
He absolutely should've scored an intercept try too, I reckon Selwyn takes that and scores

I think Cleary was well-contained, but at least IMO you could see him trying. Luai seemed to shirk a lot of responsibility last night.
Edit: His stats give him 2 try assists and 3 LB assists, funny the difference between the eye test and the stats.
Agree, he had a fair grab at that.

Luai doesn't make any rep side without a bloke like Cleary beside him, I don't think he's even the best 5/8 for NSW. They've just gone with him because of his "combination" with Cleary. If they go with the same halves in Game 2 I reckon Billy will be feeling confident that he can shut them down, again

Yep...rep football coaching is a completely different game to coaching in the NRL.

Slater has all of the right tools to be a very successful coach. He's had a good education and he's very highly rated among the coaching ranks.
But, it's too early to tell whether he will be successful. He wouldn't be the first "next supercoach" to hit the ground running, but end up not being able to handle the weekly pressure of being a head coach.
