Crocs coaching job down to four, inc. Ninnis
Brendan Joyce is the last to pitch to the club for the job. Supposedly he'd said he'd stay true to his contract with Wollongong, but the Hawks apparently gave him the freedom to consider his options and I think it might've been a "What's that supposed to mean?!?" moment.
But Gibson said today that Joyce and Townsville assistant Scott Ninnis were in the mix along with two overseas-based applicants.And good news for Ninny:
Gibson meanwhile admitted Ninnis had an advantage over the other candidates.
"What he's got over the others is that he's had a first-hand look at what transpired last season," he said.
"He's been an assistant in the league for eight years now, he's certainly done his apprenticeship."
Ninnis has also monitored Townsville player negotiations in the interim.
Only captain John Rillie had the option to exercise a "get out" clause if Stacker was sacked, but the chief executive confirmed the player would stay in Townsville.
