Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3156848, member: 9853"] None that I can name. Fitler coached the Roosters (and failed badly) two years out from playing. Same with Nathan Brown. Trent Barret took about 5 years. Hasler 7. Ricky Stuart was probably the quickest transition: one year out of the game. And I think he's a pretty good one to compare with Smith. He was talented as a player, though not as good as Alfie, but what set him apart was his game smarts. His tactical kicking, and marshalling the opposition. You could tell even as a player he'd make a great coach. He won a premiership in his first year. But then you had to deal with his personality. There aren't many players in the game right now that scream coach in the making. Smith is the standout by far. I reckon Cronk might have it in him, too. [/QUOTE]
