Love Jimmy... a bit cliche but he's 'old school' and a 'footballer'. Always was. Would have loved him in the blue & gold.
Never the fastest, not the biggest, not the most skilled... but just an absolute footy player. Tough, sneaky, footy smartsand a bit of larrakin etc... exactly the sort of half you'd want to run on to a field with. Zero guarantee he's make a good head coach but geez, I'd have a crack and see. Reckon players would love having him around.
"I think Papalii has earned a call up, but not sure where. I think he's played wing before and he can come inside to play-make if needed too and added some more unpredictability especially next to Hawkins.
We have Tuilagi back tho so maybe that…"
"I think Ryles will do same. Name Samrani and put Doorey onto the bench. I would be tempted to name Papali'i for a debut, Manly have a big pack, why not some speed around that ruck."

Shame. I would of loved him at parra
Just someone new to add to the mix when claims are made that there is no one good enough to replace BA. You never know, it might happen one day.
C'mon Adam you know there just hasn't been anyone good enough available since he started coaching the Eels - it's the only reason we still have him..
I know mate, just putting it out there
Maloney would not make a good head coach. A great assistant definately, but as a head coach? I do not see it.
apparently a fantastic footy brain
