He isn't head of recruitment...a major contributing factor to the team not performing well is the lack of a recognized hooker for the majority of AOB tenure, but that falls on him. He should have had a contingency from the get go after Braileys first injury.
I'm really keen to see how the side goes with a stable spine and a hooker in particular to lay a platform.
Well that is certainly a revelation. You'll be on to theory of dark matter superfluidity nextHe isn't head of recruitment...

Difference between "having a say" in who is recruited, and suggesting that a recruitment failure "falls on him", as if it's ultimately his fault.Well that is certainly a revelation. You'll be on to theory of dark matter superfluidity next
he certainly has a say in who is recruited does he not? Are you trying to tell me he just gets given a playing group and has to suck it up if it isnt the group of players he wants?
I find that difficult to believe.
They were saying Green was looking at leaving but will now be staying since AOB is safe ... the implication being that a new coach usually wants to bring in his own assistants, and why stick around if your job isn't safe anyway.blake green leaving isnt he? holbrook was a half, may be for an assistant/halves job? i doubt his recieved offers elsewhere and wants to return to newcastle.
Ok " it is a failure of the coach. He is the Captain of the ship. If anyone is going to be sacked it will be AOB .Difference between "having a say" in who is recruited, and suggesting that a recruitment failure "falls on him", as if it's ultimately his fault.
my guess is it is a position outside Head Coach. It is the only explanation.If we sack him now, at the back end of a season when we have the 4th best attack and 6th best defence, after he survived a season where we went 6-18… to replace him with the tinker man himself, Justin Holbrook… I may lose my mind.
They were vindicated in sticking by him. It makes no sense at all.

Hold the phone, it was first reported in the telegraph? I now see it in FOX Sports, they are both owned by you Rupert !I'd quite literally give up supporting the team.
Can we just stick these grub reporters in a cage with Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya? Honestly pretty low life formsan unattributed article - Staff Writers from Fox Sports " rumours have reportedly swirled"![]()
And “that” particular player agent?Can we just stick these grub reporters in a cage with Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya? Honestly pretty low life forms
Is he bring Tino AND Fifita, or just one of them?Sounds like Holbrook's manager reached out to the Knights regarding a couple of jobs currently available in the club. Not head coach.
He's looking to move back home to Newie and trying to find employment. Nothing to be worried about.
