Unless they're putting their boots on, I can't ee how that's going to help.

The would be another sensible move!

Get a half decent coach but give him the worst squad we've had in SL then remove his only real half back and when we get injuries and the paper thin squad is exposed SACK him!

Hardly likely....

I HOPE!

Brown won't be going anywhere yet.

Re: Nathan Brown : Mon Apr 22, 2013 11:20 am  

Any talk of brown going now with the squad he's had is ridiculous !

Re: Nathan Brown : Mon Apr 22, 2013 11:46 am  

we all know browns downfalls, main one being having no plan B when things start to go wrong.

but he was good for huddersfield..look at the players he brought on!

cudjoe (made him an international centre)
wardle (gave debut)
mcgillvary (gave debut)
brough (signed him)
robinson (international hooker)
lunt (debut)
patrick (debut)

we have alot to thank him for

I'd be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY surprised if that was the case and VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY uneasy if that was the case. McManus would, with that move, seem to place the blame onto the coaching when it is not atm.

I like Brown and I cannot see why people are failing to see that it is the team that is the problem and not him.

I'd be inclined to believe any rumours about Brown, as there was always the question over his desire to take the job in the first place. He's been trying to get a job back in the NRL pretty much since he joined Huddersfield. He clearly doesn't want to be coaching in England if he can help it.

So it might not be him getting sacked as such, perhaps the size of the challenge and lack of investment in helping with it has made him question his desire to do the job?

Don't you think it's just the usual inane rumour that arises when a team goes through a rough patch?

It would be outrageous to sack Brown at this stage given the materials he's been able to work with.

Given that he couldn't get a job in the NRL before he took the job at Saints, I don't think he's going to get one now.

Maybe because it isn't wholly the team which is the problem. For example, it wasn't the team who decided to mess around with the pivot positions just before our biggest game of the season and it wasn't the team who decided to dispense with our one remaining fit 6. There are other questions too which go to the coach rather than the team. And, at the end of the day, the buck stops with the coach regardless of how good or not the team is.
