I believe the current coach of the Newcastle Jersey Flegg side, Rip Taylor, is going to be the PL coach at Parra next year.

Fairleigh to be assistant to Hagan. Craig Smith to be forwards coach.

Good signing for Parra. The Newcastle JF side is top of the table.

Rip wasnt in Brian Smiths plans for next season.

Welcome to Smithsville, Knights Fans.

We could do alot worse than Craig Smith as a fowards coach. 35 years old and he is still showing the young guys how it's done.

Some Knights fans said Fairleigh and Hagan didn't get along though?

Kinda doubt he will unless things get serious

if for example Cayless, Vella, Cannings, Oake, Weller and Cordoba all get long term injuries you could see him play but other then that.....

I thought it was Smith-Farilegh who didn't get along and Brian basically said Fairleigh was a cra* coach

I've heard plenty of Knights fans say the very same thing. Fairleigh isn't a coaches ar*ehole apparently!

Welcome to Smithsville, Knights Fans.

you could basically say the same thing to us ... ie. "Welcome to Hagansville, Eels Fans" ... our coaching staff has pretty much getting a cleanout too .... I think its a pretty wide practice that a new coach will get his own staff.

I'd gotton over being unhappy about next year but the feelings are comming back now. & are getting rid of a lot of good loyal staff for these guys to come in. Unbelivable!

I have no knowledge of the situation but I get the feeling from what I saw on last weeks NRL on Fox that JT is not overly happy with Parramatta - I wouldn't expect him to return anytime soon .... he'll do a great job as our coach the rest of the season cos he's professional and wants to succeed.

I received a Press Release from the Knights at the paper today, advising Trent Robinson has been appointed PL Coach at Newcastle...

The BIG mail I had last week was John Lang is set to replace Bomber at Souths as head coach...
It came from impeccable sources..I find it hard to believe especially as Taylor is moving there as assistant coach...and I told that to my source..
His reply "That's what I've heard in Queensland..and from sources close to Langy and Richo"...Mmmmmmm!!!!
We'll just have to wait and see how close it is to the money...If it is wrong, it will be the first time this season from about ten 'tips'...
