I didn't see much playing out from the back the games I saw. Mostly hitting long diagonal balls is what I saw from him, often resulting in turnovers.

Is this the youth technical director? maitlands results as a club have been below standard surely the td wouldn't be given the coaching job. pretty sure the youth td was on personal holidays for the business end of the season. or is it a case of he's only one with the qualifications?

Have heard piggo strongly linked to the stags with the thorntons ( who I think have Awaba links ) and a former youth jet also from Toronto.

Piggo all about bringing Toronto juniors back to the club if he takes/gets the job

I was lead to a face book page of a Rodney Haggarty where he is getting some congrats on the Maitland first grade gig. Was told he was the TD at Maitland.

Reece Thompson had nothing to do with piggo's departure, apparently it's all to do with ex players having way to much to say whilst not lifting a finger in the running of the club, typical

What makes you say that? Which ex players do you speak of? I'd love to hear what you're hearing because I'm hearing a completely different story on my end.

I agree with you on Reece. As far as I've heard he's been one of the only ones trying to keep the club together. I was just wondering what you'd heard because you're obviously hearing a different version of events to me and I'm assuming the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Is there any young up and comers in lower grades / leagues that have potential and clubs should be on the look out for in the future?

Coaches names that come to mind, Mark Willson, Neil Owens, David Tanchevski, Damien Smith, Chris Turner, Glen Chapman, Chris Miner, plus a host of others currently coaching in lesser competitions due to the B-Licence accreditation requirements to coach NPL

Back to football there is a huge game this weekend which should more or less decide the Minnor Premiership

So who's everyone's tip

Olympic or Edgy???

Where, when and what time?

Where's Brett Fawkes coaching these days?
Know he stepped Away to Concentrate on cycling, but he was one of the best I've played under. Good ideas, coaching, really good with youth. Not sure that translates to senior coaching but he would be one of my picks. Greg Smith also not bad. Piggo polarises people, but he is very clear with what he wants.

Reece is very influencial at Maitland. (And rightly so as he puts his money where his mouth is as well as his time and efforts.)

Blake Thompson (his brother) gets dropped and the coach is sacked before their next game, even though they win. Its tough to believe Reece had nothing to do with it especially when you take into account he and Piggo have butt heads on a few occasions this year.

Maitland and Piggo parting ways wasn't because Blake Thompson was dropped. Reece has never given Blake preferential treatment and if anything is harsher on him and expects more from him than from others.
