Wasn't Tim Sheens successful in Aus? How did he do over here?

beat lebanon, france, PNG and Tonga hardly a great run, played Aus twice and lost and avoided NZ, he was also in charge of the 2019 GB tour
Who has a better record? At 70+ he is still taking a team to a GF which he has done on 10 occasions, absolutely outstanding coach.
10 times in how many years of coaching.
He had one job with England to take them the next step. He didn't.

If he does have a low opinion of SL then he is not alone, ìt is light years behind the NRL and has become a shadow of true RL

My view on Bennett as England boss was, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out. I never wanted him here, and I stand by that view. And, as noted, he's a miserable sod. He pretty much destroyed the concept of the Lions, too, remember. Always seems to me that he only took the job to spite the ARL bosses he'd fallen out with. I wouldn't want him as a club coach either. Of course, in the real world, he wouldn't come, but in the unlikely event that he did, I would still doubt his commitment.

Tonga beat the Aussies
Not in that World Cup they didn’t, after they did when all the south sea lslanders went back to their countries

A man with skills he has to make a team into successful squad, age doesn't mean a thing.

If you don’t like the guy then fair enough but don’t try and belittle his achievements. His record will stand the test of time. By the way nobody has made the next step with England in over half a century. Anyway, you didn’t answer the question, who has a better tecord?
