Well no surprise given stupid money paid in union.

I’d suggest money was down the list of reasons he stayed in Union

Being begged by Rugby Australia ?

They probably did beg him in some way but he was never coming to League at this stage of his career,especially with the WC on this year and what Australian Rugby has coming up in the future

Yeah he the right move hopefully can turn it around. National team been garbage for over 10 seasons

Fancy signing a coach who was sacked from his most recent job as well as being sacked previously as Australian coach

Glad Manly didn't sign a coach who was sacked from his previous job

Quote of the year a few weeks ago by David Rennie, ‘Eddie Jones will not be my Assistant Coach’. Damn right he won’t.

Its looking like we got the right men in Siebold, Flanagan and Dymock.

I watch a bit of 15 man game as let's be honest League international scene always been fairly uncompetitive but still watch it as league is superior.
Australian Rugby has been shambles for long time, did not realise Rennie record was 13/34 that is horrible.
Jones is a good coach, rugby need to utilise club rugby and the bush for talent and stop picking blokes from plush private schools as this is not always the right option.

Going by what he said about Manly in his autobiography, granted Manly RU, but I got the feeling it stretched to anything in and around Manly, I don't think he'll ever be helping the Sea Eagles.
