J.T talks NYC and coaching situation

[davos]

I don't see why Fitzy is an automatic selection as a coach.

Why?

I like him as a role model for the younger kids. A true champion and highly professional. Also he is a roosters legend and has expressed his desire to coach in the future. He would be my pick for the 20s.

Whether Fitzy has a hands on coaching role should be up to Robbo. But Fitzy should definitely be involved in player nutrition and welfare. Especially with our young squad. That's where his strengths lie in my opinion.

[QUOTE=davos;251091]That's great news. I really rate him as a defensive coach and I think that we can get a good structure in defense. Where does this leave Elliott?????????[/QUOTE]

He was asked this question on The Sunday Grill CH9 program and he replied he is under contract for next year. Whether he follows his mentor is ????

Im really pleased JT is still high up in the mix.

Personally I would have made him top dog and Trent the assistant flight steward...but hope it all works out well.

I have thought this as well however I think this is the ideal outcome. JT is already at the club and was already in committed to at least next year in some capacity whereas we had to attract trent back from France where considering he left as to take up a top job, bringing him back would have required the top job offer. In the end we end up with both of them at the helm and imo, considering they are both young and evidently able, I wouldnt mind seeing them in a co-head coaching role titles aside which is how I see it playing out. While also Im glad elliot wasnt given the job, his experience alone is surely of some value in some capacity at the club imo with such a young coaching staff. The last thing we need is a good S&C coach. Having lost Mescia and Robinson after 2010 our defence, discipline and fitness has been tragic. Not sure if this has already been tended to but a fit side will be half the battle next year imo

Trent wouldn't have come back for the assistant role. After all he left the assistant role to take over Catalans, why would he leave what he has now to come back to his old job? His stocks have risen greatly since moving to France. Remember he was the 2011 ESL coach of the year.

I still rate Taylor.

He's no dill.

There's a premiership in his future somewhere.

Yes, Roosters in 2013.

I'm thinking the 20's coaching job next year may be a poisoned chalice. With no RTS, Nappa & Evans, that side will be a complete rabble.

Our SG Ball teams have been pretty good over the last few years and many in the current U20s team will be eligible next year.

for those interested J.T was on foxsports news last night talking finals but also our weekend NYC match and the Roosters coaching situation, he obviously said he was disapointed to have missed out on the top job but also said he was looking forward to working with Robinson, great to hear him confirm he is an assistant for first grade next year.

I wonder if the previous rumours about Piggy Riddell coaching NYC are true.

im sorry to burst people's bubble but the interview made no mention of him actually being an assistant. he just said working with him which doesn't mean he is an assistant..
so theres no confirmation.

Ideally unemployed!

Yeah im amazed he hasnt been sent to Centrelink yet probably sucking up to Politis to try and keep his job.

so he is not the Assistant Coach but an assistant to the coach.

[kakaruk]

Taylor might not be a assistant coach next year in fact he mightnt be here at all.He very well might be coaching the bros.

[Guest]

so he is not the Assistant Coach but an assistant to the coach.

theres a distinct difference. im sure fitzy assisted smith this year but he's not the assistant coach.
everyone's getting worked up without confirmation

What evidence have you seen of this.

I see nothing more than an ex first grader with obvious self belief and carries a certain intensity.
I'm not sure i see what you see.
He displayed a major immaturity by wanting to drink with players post season after being their coach at souths.
He was hard working player who over achieved.( I love this trait when it comes to coaching.)
Globally I haven't observed a huge intellect nor a Mcbeth type drive.

I don't see it either.

Clubs aren't exactly throwing themselves at him.
