Tend to agree with you re the Eagles - its hard to know how highly to rate him. He got a few big boosts - being gifted the first title, plus from memory he was a bit of a day trader. Plus he played a season in Italy before playing in the Australian league, so he had a season's worth of knowledge on all of us, which I think was pretty invaluable.
He really should have won more titles than he did, but as I suggested in my writeups, he had a nasty habit of taking teams too lightly.
Shoei gets underrated because he came across as not really knowing what he was doing. Can't argue with the results - though I tend to think that if he was in the big 8 he would probably have struggled to win a title. The fact that he never really had decent cup runs tends to probably hurt his legacy a bit to.
