Appears to be our new NYC Coach following Joey Grima's promotion to full-time NRL assistant coach.
His Sharks profile:

Obviously he's untested at NYC level, but given the Club's Football Op's budget these days, that's hardly surprising. Does at least have Flegg experience.
He may have already brought one youngster with talent with him- is it any surprise that Jake Watts has found his way to the club after being the NT's star player at the National Champ's? Also good to see he coached the NSW u17s a while back, so he would have some connections there.
Anyone know anything about him?
