Adam O'Brien replacement?

[Area51]

Not like they didn’t try. I wouldn’t be happy with them spending more than 500k on a centre who can’t tackle for ****. Smart in the end. See what they can get in future.

thats why I didnt mention money. Cheaper living in Newy so unless it was a VERY sizable offer over and above what the Knights offered there must be more to it.

Clear Pathway to his preferred position
Clear Vision of the clubs direction
Skills and opportunities off field outside of footy

or perhaps he sees himself being a better player leaving the club ?

History shows the Knights’ Adam O’Brien and the Titans’ Justin Holbrook are coaching for their futures over the next month.

A sure sign the end is near. When Fox starts beating the drums of war ya know its all over. I'd let him see out the season and get Flannagan if still available.

Not really. Players frequently take less money to go to clubs with better chances of success. Connor Watson did exactly that.

I try not to be a massive tin foil hat guy, but the Chooks are making Connor whole in one way or another.

exactly ! so there's more to it than just money .

Dom didn't have a clear vision of the clubs future and his role within it, which surely must include building towards a Premiership and sustained success in the not too distant future.

The club has failed to articulate its vision and failed in getting him to buy into it. That's exactly what I thought when Watson left , and it appears they learned nothing.

Robinson and their team on the other hand a brilliant at it, the Knights need to learn and pick up their game.

promised to make him the SOO N.S.W super sub didnt they ? sold him a vision, a pathway.

 

[jamesgould]

I can't imagine getting very inspired listening to AOB talking about the future, Trent it would be a totally different story.

Do you guys know nothing? We'll beat the Broncos, Roosters and Panthers. We'll all get our hopes up, then the boys will lose to the Bulldogs and Tigers.... and probably every other game for the year. This team builds expectation and then absolutely guts you.

 

[krustykraz]

and yet could not be convinced to stay, with English mates arriving next season and settled in the Hunter.

I read he wants to play centre and was promised a shot there by Trent Robinson , with an aging Gagai ready to finish up it does make me wonder how AOB gets players to buy in to his vision of the team, and what clear pathway he offers players.

The Knights will regret big time for the next decade, letting go this potentially generational talent,

Knights will possibly regret it.
Roosters will possibly regret it.

I personally don't think Dom is worth more than $500k and I don't think he is a centre.
He is a great natural athlete and very fast.

Time will tell, it could go either way.

Tis a vicious cycle.

I kept telling myself the dolpins are my new team this year I watched a few games but it's the knights that have my heart unfortunately. I just get this feeling when i watch them, I think it's multiple heart attacks

My name is Lefty and I’m a Knights addict, I have been one since 1988. I don’t think I can be cured of my addiction even though I know it is bad for me.

Sounds like Flano has signed on with Dragons so I guess we will see what he makes of that rabble.

 

[JOJO82]

Yes, good get for the Dragons while we are still stuck with AOB......yay knights

Watching the NBA finals today and seeing the Nuggets Claim their first championship. 47 years in the league it took to do that. Puts things into perspective a bit. At the end of the day there is 16 teams all trying to do one thing.

 

[packo]

Sorry. 17 now lol

 

[mozza]

Nah 16 is right. Based on the Dragons recruitment decisions I don’t think they’re interested in winning a premiership.

The North Sydney Bears went 77 years without one before they left the comp, we’ll probably be close to that by the time we win another haha.

2078 … I’ll only be 97!
