Former South Sydney coach Jason Taylor is the hot $1.75 favourite with Sportingbet Australia to replace Brian Smith as head coach of the Roosters in 2013.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said there’s a strong tip around for Taylor.
“He’s the current under 20s coach at the Roosters and he has first grade experience so he’s an obvious first pick,” Sullivan said.
Former Panthers head coach Matt Elliot is second favourite at $3 ahead of Daniel Anderson at $7.00.
“Jim Dymock could be the smokey at $13.00 after being a strong contender for the NSW Origin job,” Sullivan said.
