I daresay that there is a little more to this than a DUI. Whether it's something else that has happened beforehand, or they aren't happy with his service, I'm not sure, but it has a smell about them wanting him gone and this was their out.

Funny how things play out.

More so that people wanted him back at sharks. Blokes a hippy.

 

[Craigshark]

It won’t phase him, he’l probably move back to Sydney and jag another job with a Sydney club.

agree with BBB though, something doesn’t seem right.

Low range too, 0.08

Over drink driving charge

www.nine.com.au

Queensland Police sent a statement to Wide World of Sports.

"At around 6:30pm on August 30, police intercepted a vehicle at a static roadside breath test site on Boundary Street, Railway Estate. It is alleged the driver, a 38-year-old Idalia man, returned a positive breath alcohol concentration of 0.08," it said.

"The man was charged with one count of driving over the legal alcohol limit but not over the middle alcohol limit.

"He is due to appear in the Townsville Magistrates Court on September 24."

A contrite Maloney spoke to News Corp about the incident.

"I'm disappointed, what can I say," Maloney told News Corp.

"It was only a low range charge, it wasn't excessively over.

"But the club's position was that in my role as a leader and in coaching, it wasn't acceptable.

"I've got no ill-will towards the Cowboys

Wears out his welcome very fast and moves on. Bloke won’t ever stay in a job long.

Once is an anomaly, twice a coincidence, three time is a pattern..... what are we up to now....

I have to say, loved Jimmy as a player, but what do you need as an assistant coach?
He seems to be a switched on fella with footy smarts.

But you need to uphold and show standards, respect the chain of command, be unselfish and all about the team. Is this Jimmy too?

I looked at it this way.
He didn't come to us or Roosters where he had success as a player, but to NQ.
Be interesting where he ends up next.
I could see him at Tigers or Dargons

Sacked for a low range drink driving? Definitely more to this story.

 

[Frenzy.]

Sacked for performances on the Journeymen podcast probably.

Who would the imposter be?

He would've played under:
Robinson - Roosters
Cleary - Warriors
Flanno - Sharks
Cleary - Panthers
Daley - NSW
Meninga - Australia

 

[Ozzi_78]

Meninga would be my guess. But I mean we all know who Peters is referencing.

 

[bad boy bubby]

I remember when the Flange re-signed Chad and gave him more money than Jimmy. Jimmy wanted an upgrade and Flange refused. What happened after that was the infamous Maloney/Moyza swap.
I distinctly recall Maloneys reply when asked if Flanno had talked to him about it, it was along the lines of "Nup, haven't talked to him in ages".

Could be Griffin he's talking of, but it's been spoken of openly how that senior side ran the 2016 side.

I think you can rule out rep-level coaches.
The quote is "the success of the team coming from the senior players doing the work at training"

That sounds like club talk to me.

And they weren't successful.
