  • Hasn't done that much not a huge loss

    • I think Joey has had a major influences on Moses' game. However I don't think he has done much to Dylan's game. 

      • Good point EA I think he has shown Moses not to always overplay his hand. I don't think Moses needs that kind of help anymore he was brilliant in big games for us this year.

  • NRL news: Andrew Johns set to quit Parramatta Eels and join Newcastle Knights coaching staff

    The rugby league great, who helped turn Parramatta No.7 Mitchell Moses into one of the NRL’s best halfbacks, has been considering the offer for several weeks.

    Rugby league immortal Andrew Johns is on the verge of quitting the Parramatta Eels to return home to the Newcastle Knights to help solve the club’s halfback crisis.

    The Daily Telegraph can reveal Johns is poised to join the Knights as an assistant coach and will throw most of his time at mentoring the halves.

    It follows the decision by veteran halfback Mitchell Pearce to walk out on the final years of his contract to play for French club Catalans in the UK Super League

    This is a huge blow for the Eels because Johns has played a significant role in helping turn Mitchell Moses from a good halfback to a great one in the last 12 months as Parramatta’s specialist halves coach.

    Johns has been considering the offer from Newcastle for a number of weeks.

    He will replace former Broncos and South Sydney coach Anthony Seibold on Adam O’Brien’s coaching staff and begin work next month.

    With Pearce leaving, the Knights will be heavily relying on Johns to work with Jake Clifford, who signed from the Cowboys last season, and Adam Clune who recently left St George-Illawarra after 25 NRL games.

    Johns is Newcastle’s all-time greatest player who played 249 games for the club and won two premierships.

    He will spend two days each week with the Knights and continue in his media role with Channel 9 on the network’s rugby league coverage.

    • The Eel`s loss is the Knight's loss.

  • Get Cronk!!!!!

    • Absolutely!!!  

    • Cronk already coaches with Storm and Roosters, and with his FOX gig he wouldn't have the time anyways.

      What about asking Sterlo to take on the role for a year or two?
