Superb qualifying rounds and then disappointing world cup rounds as far as results were concerned.

However, the world cup round was always going to be extremely difficult against 3 teams ranked 4,5,6 but there were still some positives there particularly against Denmark.

As NT coach, I believe I have gained Australia some respect and that the NT is not very far away from the top 10 teams. As previously stated, I will not be nominating for the next campaign and wish the next manager all the best.

Done very well against strong opposition. Clever to use the TE set. Maybe could try a couple of different things now we're out of it, something for the inbound manager to consider.

Chin up, I think our qualifying rounds, including the win over the UK and the fact we actually qualified will have improved our rank at least.

I think the best thing to do now would be collectively keep an eye out for developed Australian talent running around that could possibly be an upgrade on existing players. Just to help out the next coach as much as we can.

.... or maybe just a damn good coach
