If it's true I think you can rule out any compensation from Wests. They may need to have an advance of money from the new tv deal because they are deep in debt and will also have to give sheens a big pay off. The Wests forum seems to suggest they are still interviewing candidates.

I dunno. It would be brought up between the two organisations surely? They can't have people being able to walk out of contracts in one competition to join the other one? It would set a very dangerous precedent.

Allegedly, Brown is already here in St Helens. Seems as though the Wests rumours can be put to bed.

I honestly couldn't understand why any NRL club would want him at this stage of his career. In a year or 2 when he's won 7 or 8 trophies at Saints I'm sure they'll be queueing up for him. But now? Even more unlikely given the dosh that they'd have to put Saints way to take him off our hands. I shall continue to assume the rumours are bunk until an official announcement is made otherwise.

I got a reply to my txt, no mention of brown getting the job, they had 10 on the list of possible coaches and now down to two but Brown apprantley isn't one of them.

Well the news out of Sydney is that Nathan Brown has the Tigers gig, a friend said they'll announce it next week. Doesn't surprise me really. I just hope it's not too late for us to get a decent coach if the rumours are true.

Wonder if Justin Morgan would come back to the UK? I know he left for the Canberra Raiders as they're assistant & they did well this season under adverse conditions. He was interviewed for the St Helen's gig when at Rovers but stayed loyal to them. Think he'd do well here.

You write that as a Saints fan, when you talk about it not being too late for "us" to get a decent coach?

Just a bit confused when you write on the HKR forum..

Hudgell certainly has long fingers.... He could also be reeling Justin Morgan back to continue his good work after the dismal year we've had! Chester isn't ready yet in my opinion. Still think its a mistake that Morgan was let go - he should've been given the chance to finish what he started. Had he been here this past season then we would've made the playoffs as that was standard. Interesting to see how the appointments play out. ....

"we've" relates to HKR, yes? Appreas that your 4 posts are all concerned with Justin Morgan's next appointment, are you his manager, or Morgan himself? Certainly appears that you have a somewhat split personality, and doesn't really do your credibility as a poster of wild rumours any favours at all.

He's Jon Wilkin, so 'us' applies to both. Just don't tell anyone

David Nui said on Twitter this morning that Matthew Elliot is getting the NZ job and Matt Parrish the Tigers job. I think NZ will be a little underwhelmed if they get Elliot. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/ar ... d=10838931

Brown's in St Helens.

Re: NATHAN BROWN : Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:09 pm  

I think it's safe to say that if Brown doesn't get the Tigers job, he's going to have to accept that success at Saints is his only chance now of getting an NRL job.
