Judging by the weekends result the problems at hudds appear to be far deeper than browns poor coaching. Could be a poisoned chalice for baloo

Nope it was all Nathan Browns fault, he is the devil incarnate.

I read a few hudds fans getting on Andersons back already!

It amazes me how they think they are a top side

Have I missed an announcement about brown? Seems as though rush is the boss till the end of the season, but has it been announced?

I've no problem with hudds at all, I have always liked the club and really enjoyed watching them over the last 2 years. I'd go as far as saying that hudds was my second team.

I just think the way some of your fans have slated Nathan brown is disgusting, he did amazing job at hudds with what I think is a avenge team. It was clear from most outsiders that you have been punching above your weight.

In other words, I think some of your fans has lost touch reality due to the fact you was top for few weeks and used the fact brown was leaving as the scapegoat.

I accept what you're saying & agree to some extent. There is a portion of the Hudds support that have gone way overboard with the NB departure & all the ramifications thereof. You'll get no argument from me there.

However, this type of blinkered attitude isn't just the province of Hudds fans. Royce Simmons was savaged on here in a disgraceful manner & made the scapegoat by a certain section of Saints fans & this was a coach who had got you to a Grand Final only, what was it, 6 matches previously? And a GF that you were actually looking like winning until Shenton got busted & couple of quick dodgy decisions went against you.

Yeah, a fickle lot RL fans.

The doubters have been proved right about Royce though, it was our worst ever start to a SL season and our worst run for 23 years - you only have to look at the league table now to see it was the right move.

Time will tell whether Brown was the problem at Hudds - you certainly didn't get the reaction from the players at the weekend that Saints got when Royce left.

I would accept being called fickle if I'd have bigged royce up in his first year but that fact I didn't want him from day one until the day he was sacked isn't fickle.

Royce is a top guy who always put in 100% but he's not a first team coach and never will be.

Brown has done a terrific job for a number of years at hudds and turned them into a good team and also good to watch, he turned some very average players into good super league players.

I honestly can't wait to see saints play under a top coach like brown.

83% of teams who discard their coach mid season win their next game.

Presumably the remainder do not, and both Hudds and London are obviously among that number.

But how many then go on to win 13 of their next 17 with one draw and only 3 losses after a previous record of 2 wins 1 draw and 3 losses?
