A month or so ago when people were calling for Madge's head, and others were saying we need additional coaching staff, there was a myth doing the rounds to the effect of 'Madge doesn't want good or high profile assistants because he is paranoid about getting replaced by them'.
This is obviously rubbish, because he'd previously tried to bring Laurie Daley to the club.
Laurie isn’t a good coach.
If I had to choose between John Morris and Laurie Daley as our coach I would choose the latter.
He failed as nsw coach and hasn’t landed an NRL gig. Tells you something.
How many clubs has he applied for a coaching position with?
I’m not sure. I remember he went for a role overseas a couple of years back.
It seems to me that @Telltails argument is a fair bit stronger than yours Avo, as to whether Laurie Daley is a good coach or not.
Or maybe closer to the point is... your statement is pretty weak.
Daley's role was a specialist halves role while still presumably working as a radio host, similar to the roles the Johns' brothers have had.
It opens up the suggestion of cronyism.

Johns brothers arent/werent employed by betting company, pretty straight forward.
I'm referring to their roles as specialist halves coaches with the Eels, Roosters etc. Part time roles.
I understand that but the reason that they were allowed and Laurie wasnt, is Laurie was employed by a betting company.
