It is believed Anthony Griffin will be in contention when the new Wests Tigers board makes a decision on the club's coaching future next week.
Griffin took over the Brisbane Broncos in a time of transition which Gorden Tallis believes will make him a good fit to rebuild the Tigers.
"When he's career is on the line he is not afraid to make hard decisions,"
"He took the captaincy off Sam Thaiday so he has made some huge decisions," Tallis said on Sydney's Triple M Rush Hour.
The Wests Tigers publicly stated a Top 8 finish would secure coach Mick Potter's services beyond 2014.
In the last six weeks, the Tigers have not won a game and face wooden-spooners Cronulla this weekend.
Matt Parish is the front-runner to take over with both assistant coaches Todd Payten and David Kidwell among the candidates.
Anthony Griffin has coached the Broncos for four years before he was removed to make way for foundation coach Wayne Bennett to return.

Wouldn't mind if he was here , but we can do without Tallis's endorsement though. Then again that may explain a few things lately??

Of those mentioned there give me Griffin….but that's only when lookingat those names.
So the guy has made tough decisions...OK that's good. But has he got the desired results with much better resources than what we will provide him? NO. He has the dream job in the NRL and failed.

Griffin hasn't done a bad job but when you put it in perspective to how much talent broncos have, the money and esp the time he had with them ( I think he's been coaching hunt since u20s)- i don't think he's got them a top 4 finish.

We were paying Mick Potter around 200g a year, that would be around half what most coaches would expect to earn to take on the gig and of course of the bigger names would want four times as much. Now throw in the cost of a GM of football operations, who you would think would have to be on similar dollars to the new coach, makes me think where are all these dollars coming from.
We look like sacking Mick Potter after paying him a pittance and giving him basically nothing in the budget and now it seems we are willing to pay more and one would imagine throw more money into the budget to turn the place around. Pity the fools who ran the circus did not give Mick a little more support.
Anyway with the new board being announced we can only hope today is the first day in the road to recovery

Add to that Brisbane with Griffin
Col I have never thought of it like that
Well done
Probably only issue is playing cattle wise they are in a better place than the Tigers which helps a rookie coach
We just need the right rookie coach
The two best in my mind would be Kevie Walters or Jimmy Dymock if we didn't stick with Potter

I understand your logic 'col, but put it in perspective:
Storm have always had money and a top roster (thank News ltd)
St George are taking another risk (Nathan Brown & Steve Price)
Cowboys, another News ltd team but experienced and inexperienced coaches haven't got them the trophy even with a top roster
Easts?? Really?? Wow give me team of that quality. Yeah, Smith and Fittler couldn't do anything either. But wait - then comes SBW, Jennings & Maloney then bingo!
Parra - only the great Jack Gibson and his disciple John Monie could win them stuff. Always had money and a huge junior nursery
Warriors - woulda coulda shoulda every year
Souffs - money, money & connections hollywood style. What's the difference between the old Souffs and the new Souffs? Take a guess.
Col, I really understand where you are coming from but it's not just about rookie coaches.

Potter was doomed from day one because he was never a unanimous choice, so although in a slight minority the anti Potter ticket just did all in their power to disrupt his tenure, and did a very good job. A coach of a NRL team needs 100% support from all the stake holders and than some, Potter never had this in any shape or form.
I just hope he gets another crack at another club one day

Happy, you know my view on getting an NRL team up here. It will be just a lip service / PR stunt from Smith. Much like their Integrity Unit nothing will happen.
