Josh Hannay has opened up on being snubbed by Parramatta for the head coaching role, but admits he will “bide his time” and wait for the next opportunity to arise.
After receiving plenty of praise from Craig Fitzgibbon and Billy Slater for his work as an assistant coach in recent years, Hannay was considered a strong candidate but ultimately missed out on the Eels gig.
Jason Ryles was announced by the club on a four-year deal earlier this week, after notifying Hannay and fellow contender Dean Young of their tough decision.
Speaking on SEN radio, Hannay reflected candidly on the process and turned his focus directly back to working with the Sharks and Maroons.
