Who Will Coach U20's now?

[Guest]

who is our harold matts coach?

FG - trent robinson
RG - greg matterson
TC - ??
SG - mark riddell
HM - ??

its a pretty classy coaching line up. wouldnt have minded bbellamy in first grade and potter in u 20's though.

Harold Matthews coach last year was Aaron McDonald, I think he has the gig again this year. I believe he was the Bundy coach at Wenty in 2011.

NYC coach I hear is down to 3, Canberra NYC coach last year, Dragons NYC coach last year and former NRL player Paul Green.

I think Kearney would be a good fit from both perspectives. They may feel they can go with a younger more inexperienced candidate because Jason Taylor is on the staff and would be an ideal supervisor.

I think these guys need a good coach, lots of ex FG coaches looking for work.

How come nobody wants freddie as coach? I got shot down a couple weeks ago when i said freddie had afew maturity problems early on in his career and whilst coach, but now many dont want him to coach the 20's.

Those 3 boys are in, although none of them played in local teams last year. I understand Taane will still play SG Ball first. There are 34 in the 20's squad and about 5 are still eligable for SG Ball this year.

Last year as in season 2011 or last season as in the one just gone?

Tyler Cornish from Canberra comes highly regarded.

NYC coach I hear is down to 3, Canberra NYC coach last year, Dragons NYC coach last year and former NRL player Paul Green.

2012 Raiders coach = Andrew Dunemann
2012 Dragons coach = Justin Holbrook.

JT would have played against both these former half-backs.

Royce Simmons not up to being a first grade coach but knows how to develop the younger players.

What makes you say that?
His first effort at the Panthers?

[wayne challis]

Thanks for the info Dummyhalf

I did forget one player. Joseph Forrester in the centres. He is still young enough for NYC. I'm assuming he will back up next year.

Cory McCrady would be another possible option in the halves but I haven't heard if he has been released or the club is still awaiting the outcome of his court case.

He really disappointed me every time I saw him play this year. For some reason at the beginning of this year when I first saw him the size of him & the raps he had, I posted that he could play FG this year. He was very non interested while the other centre Curtis Rona was carving it up & getting snapped up by the Cowboys. I bet my testicles on it that Rona becomes a quality 1st grade represenative player, they should have kept Rona IMO.
