It's probably with an eye to that if a new owner takes on the club, it's not expensive to get rid of him if things turn sour. Most other coaches getting a mention would be on considerable more coin, and whether they have the ability to turn this around is questionable.
I'm starting to think Michael Maguire didn't really want the job. It was stated very clearly that Titans would be appointing a coach before making a decision on ownership.
Because Maguire is such a hot commodity and he still has two years left on his contract to be payed out at Souths- I'm tending to think he wait for a situation which has a couple things going for it 1) Pay him a high figure 2) Team already has a winning roster 3) Team has plenty of money to spend for players.
Titans never really fitted in that criteria despite the potential on the roster. Maguire could wait for a prospect like that comes around before choosing. Whether It proves that he is a great coach is another question.
All the best for Titans with Garth Brennan, I tend to think he was the best choice from the choices they could realistically go with.
I am not convincrd there is too much to turn around tbf. One certain ex world class player either needs to change his attitude and form or get out and let them return to the team that won games on work ethic and heart in 2016.
And now they’ve lost Tyrone Roberts.The halves haven't stepped up like they should have. So many things going wrong in the club.
And now they’ve lost Tyrone Roberts.
What deficiencies? I rate him in attack but admit I'm no judge of defence. If I was the Cowboys recruitment chief, I would have gone after him ahead of Martin (mind you, having watched Michael Morgan in the lower grades for years, I couldn't believe they kept re-signing him, the best evidence. I can offer for my ability to pick winners LOL. Though I did see JT13 and nailed him as a future star before anyone else knew his name.)........ so?
Tyrone has huge deficiencies in his game. Good for depth but not as your first grade half.
