James Maloney has decided 2021 will be his last, after 13 seasons with Melbourne, Warriors, Sydney City, Cronulla, Penrith and a stint in France with Catalans Maloney is set to head home. All i know is regardless of who is coach in 2022 i will be ringing him and annoying him to come to our club in some sort of coaching role. The man has confidence, a footy mind, a calm head if Flanagan got the gig he could add him to the staff as he coached him to a 2016 title. Even if BA is here in 2022 he should consider it.

Talk about a missed opportunity. He was our junior playing for Wenty and we let him walk.
Funny thing about him, he was definitely a winner but he bounced around from club to club. Unusual for such a high calibre player. Apparently he's super annoying lol
But no doubt can add some insight to a club, proven winner and won two premierships and was with Warriors in 2011 GF, Catalans leading ESL with him there too. He will never be a head coach but as an assistant i believe he is valuable.
I completely agree. Can you imagine BA wanting someone that knowledgeable around him? Ha
Well in the blog I state he would be a good assistant to have?
He wasn't a eels junior as many state but he was a eels reserve grade player it's a shame for whatever reason people within the club at the time didn't see him as a long term option they instead invested in our young halves at the time Mortimer,Keating,Kelly it's funny how hindsight works lol..
He had a very good career and turned into a top shelf half.
But we already have an Immortal on the coaching staff. Why would we need anyone else?
Because JoeyDrugs are recreational and make you feel slow.
FlanaganDrugs, however, are anabolics all the way and will have them feeling immortal in no time
Baby Jake will develop
Maloney with Flanagan would be a great combo..
Add Steve Price to that too, he's coming home to Australia and worked with Flanagan for three years.
