As a head coach, you get your good times and bad times but you are always under scrutiny.
That’s part of the job. The problem is everyone who isn't a coach thinks they can do a better job than you! It's a challenge. And regardless of who you are, if you get a string of poor results, you are going to face pressure. It's then about the owners and whether they have faith in their coach or not and how strong their relationship is.
I saw Wigan coach Matt Peet’s comments defending Ian Watson after the Huddersfield boss’ position came under fire when Giants lost 54-0 at Leeds last week. Peet said the media here needs to have more empathy and rugby league’s not like football. But journalists have the right to ask questions and, for me, coverage here is fairly balanced.
