Quote Slugger McBatt="Slugger McBatt"Harris is proven. Proved not to be very good. He proved it for the Crusaders and proved it for Wales.
Some people are just meant to be assistants. He is one.'"
Paul Anderson, Brian McDermott , Michael McGuire, Shaun Wane all assistants.
McDermott, struggled as Harlequins coach getting lowly 9th, 11th & 13th finishes.
Didn't do too bad on his move to a better club.
As for Harris , to measure his abilty by quoting his tenure in charge of Crusaders in 2011 a season that commenced in crisis and then when worse is harsh.
Wigan must have seen something in him to take Harris on when Wane stepped up.
Measuring Harris abilty on his performance with the Welsh squad in the RLWC, again tough as the Welsh team had the least ringers as Harris chose to stay loyal to his emerging talent rather than invent 15 welsh Queenslanders. It didn't pay off as Wales were well beaten by American & italian XXXX drinkers.
Not saying Harris is the name to lead to trophy success but write him off already seems odd.
