"a bit like Canberra i've got to be fully committed".
I would say he was. Name on coach who would not want a national job if he is in the running and he himself believes he is ready?
In the meantime that coach will be committed to his franchise but he would be a fool if he has no higher aspirations or pursues such opportunities. It's the game. The top jobs are rare.
What I am trying to say is Jakes left the Brumbies for personal reasons. He will commit himself to the Sharks 100% but will always have one eye on a top job. Nothing wrong with that. The problem will come of a coach drops a team mid-season.
I heard that he was really battling being away from his kids which was tolerable oin the first year but obviously not in the second.
