  • HE should have got the job over BA years ago. Also is a better option than green/Flanno.

    • agree

    • because he did so well at the tigpies?

  • JT's history would suggest he makes a terrific assistant Coach. That's his limit.

    • Agree. Great assistant. Not HC material.

  • Mutt's u referring to history at the screwed up tigers? He walked into a catfight there with Robbie/Benji.

    Or do u recall what he did with the Eels when he took over the Eels after BS, brought Jayne into first garde and took an avg eels team with 1 so called front rower called 'Josh Cordoba' to the Semi's and push the Storm to the limit (actually got dudded that game).

    He would def fix our attack just like he did with the roosters. Get Moses/Brown playing direct again... which under current coaching regime has been phased out of them.

    • Don't get me wrong, I'm a big JT fan. His attacking mindset is what we desperately need. If only BA had the self-confidence to bring in a proper assistant like JT we'd be going a lot better. But BA doesn't like assistants who may challenge him. I'd absolutely love to have JT involved in the club but I just don't think he's got the man management skills to run the entire program as Head Coach.

  • I thought JT had oerformed very well as a first grade coach and an interum 1sr grade coach I would welcome the opportunity to see what he could do with the roster we have and he is a very deep thinker of the game. Unfortunately, he has an affliction that I used to have? I fixed it by getting off the drink altogether. Our bravado and sense of humour must be quite similar, sadly it can be seen as something else by the recipient at other end of the joke/barb? 

    • Like when he pissed on some guy's head at the cricket? I'm sure the other guy didn't get the humour in that

  • JT has a great attacking mind and that is one of the things that the Eels desperately need but they also need a tone of work on their defence. I wanted JT to get the gig last time over BA so if BA is going, then JT is the only other coach I would like to see get the job other than Bennet.
