Justin Holbrook to the Roosters.

Parramatta Eels Holden cup coach Justin Holbrook has signed with the Sydney Roosters as the man to replace Jason Taylor's position as assistant coach.Holbrook will be Trent Robinson's right hand man on the Rooster's NRL coaching staff.The 2013 premiers were on the lookout for a deputy to Trent Robinson after Taylor took over as head coach at Wests Tigers. After scouring the market, they settled on Holbrook, who was Parramatta's National Youth Competition coach this season.The Eels were one of the big improvers in the under-20s tournament in 2014, narrowly losing the penultimate game to the eventual premiers, the Warriors.The Roosters opted for Holbrook because of his playing experience in the halves and the fact he has a proven track record working with young playmakers.He finalised the deal on Friday. "He will bring a lot of experience from his previous two clubs and as a player," said Roosters boss Brian Canavan. "He's a good communicator and being a specialist halves coach it's an area all clubs look at proving their delivery in."So who will take over as our under 20s head coach?Luke Burt? Steve Murphy?http://m.smh.com.au/rugby-league/sydney-roosters/sydney-roosters-sign-justin-holbrook-to-replace-jason-taylor-as-assistant-coach-20141010-114cy4.html

  • And more importantly, how many of our young players will he pinch over the next couple of years :(

  • Wow! This is disappointing.

  • Roosters what a pack of turds.

  • How did this happen? Why is there such a high turn over of coaches in the U20s? 2 coaches in 2 years. What gives?

    • It pretty much happens at every club. He should of taken out the premiership with the team he had so I don't mind seeing him move on.
  • Bugger. 
    Hopefully we can get a decent U20's coach in to work with the next group of promising youngsters. 

  • Give Burty the reigns!!
  • And here I was thinking the Rorters would promote from within their own ranks. How wrong was I. Perhaps I should rethink it that they will have a locally produced player by 2018
  • Fu#k we should of sign him up for next 5 years he our loss the rooter gain

    • Paul you have my full support.

      I will never support you having to pay any form of interest on any education loan you ever received

"If the purpose of the rule is to not have "one hand interfering with the opposition player", it should be worded as such."

"1. The rule is dumb and incredibly vague.
2. It's a coin toss decision
3. According to The Bunker in this game, basically making it look like you're going to go with 2 hands is good enough.
Can't wait for this stupid rule to ruin a rep/finals game."
