Nathan Brown discussion

I think Brown is better suited to recruitment and roster management. He assembled a quality roster at the Dragons and now here, but I'm not convinced he knows how to use the team he puts together. That said, I don't think there's any point spearing Brown until a standout candidate is available. Brown can at least get the players here so coaching instability will only push players away. Griffin and Brennan are not first grade quality.

Totally agree with this. Unless he can turn things around in the last few games I think Brown has peaked as our coach. We are a Top 6-8 squad so anything less is a fail.

But coaching instability would ruin us more than keeping Brown. Brown would have been good for the Titans and we would probably be better off with Holbrook.

Macguire would have been great when he was available, I don't know if he was taking a break after the Souths sacked him, and if he was actively looking around I am amazed no one picked him up until the Tigers did then.
Otherwise yeah, slim pickings unless they want to promote Woolf. Problem is, this year and last year it seems we are a confidence team. Lost matches, and things werent going our way, won matches and things went our way, then lost matches and things haven't gone our way.
If we win those Bulldogs and Warriors games (which we should have) and likewise with the Tigers game maybe things are different, but eh can only speculate.
 
We need a genuine 6 to help Pearce. Without that we will be the dregs we are now. We have go forward just crap plays now. Attacking players get crap service or put on the same crappy out the back play wide. We only attack one side so can't be to hard to defend that. We have gone away from starting with line speed and quickness around the ruck to be more Melbourne like with a titans roster................. It just won't work EVER!

So the senior players approached Brown after the Titans loss and said things need to change on the field. Winning streak the result. Not defending Ramien 1 bit but again the senior players tell Brown he needs to do something. Who's coaching the team ?

I am sure senior players approach coaches all the time, lets not rattle the cage anymore than we need to.

When Brown gets the arse it will be a large part due to lack of consistancy in the spine, yeah injuries forced his hand sometimes BUT these mid game switch's and changing 5 players due to injury when 1 switch would have done........ Yep.
 
Flanagan is a disgrace for being arrogant enough to think he could get away with communicating with his club whilst knowing he was under a suspension and not allowed to. He should not be allowed to coach any NRL club in any capacity let alone ours.
And besides the Sharks peptides and deliberate salary cap cheating takes the shine off his coaching credentials, not entirely but somewhat.
 
Don't watch the garbage content on Foxsports but one of the headlines popped up on Brownie being on the show admitting he got it wrong when it came to his experienced/decision in resting/playing his Origin players. Guess it was a bit of an unexpected going from expecting two players to play to having several.

Apparently talked up our juniors. maybe a few more of them will get 11 minutes in a game somewhere down the track.

Watched it. He made a point about not wanting to blood them too early like he has with a number of other juniors during his tenure.

Fair enough really, but now the season is done and the pressure off he should give a couple of them a run.
 
We certainly have plenty of talent in juniors and they don’t cost lots compared to buying experienced players, see no reason why Hoy, Crossland, Fermor, Andrews, Momoisea, Toa and Huth and I am sure quite a few others couldn’t develop over the next year or so playing Cant Cup and be ready for firsts.

True but Lamb and Cogger played behind a pop gun forward pack. Other Clubs don't seem to have much trouble giving young blokes a shot.

I don't see our juniors play but plenty want to wrap Huth. Wonder how he feels about Brown's history with hookers and the signing of Brailey.
