This is very worrying really, even though it's speculation I doubt that the Aussie media would have plucked his name from obscurity. There must be something in this.
I was really looking forward to Brown taking us forward, but I think it's highly unlikely that he'll be here in 2013...sadly.
If he does go, then I have no clue as to who we could go for: maybe take a punt on Daryl Powell? I hope someone like Noble or Kear don't get it.
