Former North Queensland Cowboy Centre and current Crounlla Sharks and Queensland Maroons assistant coach, Josh Hannay is in the sights of Parramatta. The coaches agent, Chris Orr, is set to meet with the club to discuss the possibiltiy of Hannay being hired.
Chris Orr is also BA's manager, how about that "Hi, me again".
Overall i am a bit 50/50 on Hannay. He did a good job with Cronulla as an interim and is raved about his job with Queensland. I even think he will be the favourite for NQ job if Payton cannot turn them around. I am a bit luke warm with his personality. From the media he seems a bit laid back, buddy buddy, we do not need that. Plus has been an interim twice, been two situations where he as an assistant been a part of a team bad enough to sack their coaches. But if he is hired, we could do much worse, we can do better but can also do worse.

He's also BA's agent.
Correction agent not manager.
Been doing a great job with Qld from all reports.
He should be high up in the list of people we want to speak to.
Mal Meninga acheived far more with coaching QLD than both Slater and Hannay could ever dream about. Should we hire him ?
They are aiming high with Hannay.
Just imagine Wiz we can potentially have Sarantinos , O'Neill and Hannay running the football department , that should give us hope .
If he came to the club and we believed in his vision and showed us how he could get us there then probably.
We have to shortlist and then find out what they believe they can do for us and how they are going to do it . None of us have any clue the answer to that we're just looking at names and throwing them out there as ideas. Hannay has absolutely earned a place on the short list.
BA was an absolute zero in 2014 before he was handed the head coaching job at Parra and many Eels supporters slapped the salami over his appointment. He came out of nowhere to get the job but survived into his 11th year.
Who knows who we hire and who knows how good they'll be until they actually start.
We gave BA a chance let's see who the board goes with. If they end up being useless then he will be vilified like Kearney before BA was. Its pretty simple.
What an absolute joke. Hire a coach who knows what he's doing and with premiership winning experience
Not sure if many of them will be available, Hannay and Ryles are the 2 coaches who seem to be brought up a lot .
Hannay has done nothing to earn a first grade coaching position at Parra.
Hard pass
