I think he would make an excellent coach, all the players seem to look upto him and respect him, he has been the consummate professional and he definitely apperears to inspire those around him
It doesnt mean he wont be a great coach just beacause he isnt a great player
As far as his contract goes I think its a bit like Cahill, I wouldnt lose any sleep if he did go but I also wouldnt be adverse to offering him another 12 months as I do think there is a bit more about him than pointing his fingers and passing sideways
