At the height of the Farah v Taylor affair i did some work for Trents mother. She was a lovely lady and defended Jason as he was a good mate of Trents. He was a friend of the family.
He may have this job at Norths but if they didnt have their friendship he would be at centrelink.
Come off it!
Why would he get him back into his coaching staff after his first stint if he was so bad?
Why would Trent replace him if he was so good, why hasn't any club tried to sign him since he left us, I am pretty sure I know the answer though, he is no head coach, or assistant coach either apparently.

The Roosters have held off announcing O’Brien’s appointment out of respect to current attack coach Jason Taylor.
The Roosters look set to take over the association with the North Sydney Bears, who are the feeder club for South Sydney, and Robinson is keen for Taylor to oversee that.
“This is his area,” Robinson said. “He’ll be great at it.”
Robinson believes Taylor is a strong development coach and the Bears, who he once captained, are in his sweet spot.
No he's definitely no head coach. But I find it hard to believe that Robinson got him back as assistant coach after we booted him just out of friendship. If Robinson found out he was crap as an assistant first time around he wouldn't have re employed him.
His mum told me….. fair dinkum.
