That's not massively different to the league table.
Especially when you consider McCall has had loads of prior
success and Lam the reverse.

Never changed my opinion of him. He's an Heroic Individual, all
about him, pacing the touchline whilst most DORs are in the
stands. Wants everyone and his team to know he's the man. I'm
not trying to provoke Yareet here, but I've always said Sale (or
any other club he manages) wins a big trophy because that extra
10% that great coaches give good players/teams he doesn't have.
They have a fantastic team and have for the last 5 or so years
and should have had more silverware. I really feel for them.
All the crap he spouts about Quins as well, just show's what a
tool he is.

He’s certainly a top level ranker

I think he scrapes into the top 10 for ability.
In his own mind he's number 1.

The chip on the shoulder shtick has worn thin.
That aside, he's done reasonably well, laid good foundations but
just hasn't been quite able to get Sale to the next level. For
me that's because the gameplan is a bit one-dimensional and
their attack isn't at the required level.

Don't worry Yareet, you can open up and be honest. All friends
