Nathan Brown would be a massive improvement on Christopher Chester, Steven McNamara, and Richard Agar. What a shame that he is not coming back to England!

I agree. The French have become thuggish cheats since McNamara took over. Glad you think so too.

It isn't.

He probably is. I mean, he's never involved himself in the local community and he's done nothing but whinge about life in the UK since he got here.

Having a high reputation and huge respect from the Newcastle masses is not the same as having it from non partisan English fans who apart from a few shudds fans who naively believe that if on the off chance he came back here he would go back to them I think you will be hard pressed no matter how much tub thumping you do to drum up the interest you obviously crave for regarding Nathan Brown.

Without trying to get you excited regarding NRL full backs

, I amazed if not astonished that you feel their/there/they're are only four(4) super full backs in the NRL.

Brown is miles better than every current Super League coach apart from Holbrook.

Think you're confusing him with Michael Maguire.

Nathan Brown is indeed a fantastic coach but surely he's a massive risk too? Remember all the 'will he won't he' last time he was here on whether he'd up & leave mid season to go back under?

Just screams respect.

No I'm not - Brown started it at Shudds, Maguire took it to extremes at Wigan, and every team followed suit; we've never recovered.

Ian Watson.

It was Brown who introduced the tactic of slowing things down in the tackle and PTB before Maquire hit these shores. To a certain extent he also introduced the kicking game, the giants didn't have a team with a lot of good passing skills so he got Danny Brough to kick high and see what came off.

I just thought that his tactics at Saints were one out football with not a lot of adventure

Really?

That was happening way before 2009!

The RFL purposefully allowed a more ruck dominant game, taken to high levels by the likes of Brown, Maguire etc after England’s disappointing shown the the 08 RLWC. We went over with players used to the speed and scoot dominant play of SL only to nullified by the refereeing interpretations and ruck dominant NRL players. Ironically, since then the NRL have cleaned up that area massively where as the RFL allowed our games to regress.

Justin Holbrook – 1 final 1 loss
Steve Price - 3 finals 1 win

Price also hasn’t been here as long as Holbrook and inherited a squad that finished 10th.

Nathan Brown and Newcastle Knights have parted ways with immediate effect.

Is there still time for him to replace Chris Chester and save Wakefield from the humiliation of relegation?

or he could replace dopey Mac at catastrophe catalans who's lame attempt to get in the top 5 is failing massively

Nathan Brown to any of Catalans, Leeds or Hull FC would be a good move for those clubs IMO.

But not for Saints?

I think Mike Rush has already ruled him out, but who knows?

The coach doing the worst job in SL this season is MacBanana.

Catalans have a very good squad and are underachieving more than any team and play the ugliest rugby I’ve ever seen. They’re a team full of divers, injury feigners and cheats, and always go beyond the line when it comes to cheap shots, high shots and knees in.

All that is down to Bananaman.

I agree. The Catalans squad is easily good enough for the top 5, and could be good enough for a place against St Helens at Old Trafford. However Steven McNamara is not good enough to coach them to the success they are capable of.
