[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 772461, member: 48703"] All the best, most talented players from around 1989-1997 were all being poached by League at the time though. So really it would have been disappointing if the side wasn't a bit more successful with many of those players returning and no longer any threat of best players being taken. It's hard to judge Henry as his time was split completely in two halves of 1998/99 (good) and 2000/01 (abysmal), but the latter comes with the context of internal problems at WRU and the Lions tour disrupting the side. Hansen had to rebuild but left the side in a better state that Henry did despite a worse win/loss record. [/QUOTE]
