Looks to me as if his days are numbered.

Bad trouble in the dressing-room, looks as if he's lost control.

This is exactly what happened at Huddersfield. He admitted on tv that the players
wouldn't listen to him so he told them to play it their way against wires and they got hammered.

I was surprised McManus still took him on after that.

Step up Cunningham ?

Something is definitely not right which is weird as they are 2nd and have looked good this season!

I was expecting to wake up and see they had parted company this morning. That after match interview was a car crash.

He has lost the players and the fans.... He doesn't really have anywhere else to turn now.

Leave agent Nathan where he is! He's doing a fine job.

It amazes me that anyone gave him a coaching job after he stood on the touch line and slapped Barrett!

Operation Yew Tree?

Can someone summaries this or link me, I've been in a drunken haze and have missed this?

Looking at the Saints forum you would hate to hear them whinge if they were at the other end of the table. Sheesh.

There is a video of Wellen's post match interview (where he basically pans the team) on a popular social media site which I don't have access to, and some of Brown's ambiguous comments can be found here: www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/m ... -st-helens. A lot of Saints fans are saying that it would show that McManus has no back bone if he allows Brown to stay after the scathing statement he issued after the cup exit.

Cheers SV.

I don't think it can be all one way traffic from Brown....this is basically the same dressing room that conspired to oust Royce Simmons & if Saints had played to their potential in those early games when Simmons was in charge they would have coasted the league.

i'd point the finger at wilkin, he wellens and roby are pretty much the only hangover from the previous player regime at saints, from what i've heard he's a moaning get.

I think there's a deeper routed problem at Saints. If they're blaming Brown i think that's short sighted because they've been this way for about three or four years now.

spot on IMO....Wilkin is the root cause I'd wager.

I got the impression that Brown could be attempting to engineer an exit from Saints....Rather than jumping he'd prefer to be pushed out of the door for financial reasons perhaps ?....Before he was offered the Saints job he was planning a return to Oz.

Roby strikes me as someone who would just crack on with whatever he's told.
Wellens and Wilkin, especially Wilkin look/sound like troublemakers.

I can't see him ever being offered an NRL job, for the afore mentioned reason.

you know what, he's probably not even that good a coach, chances are he got the illawarra job as he was one of the boys there, he's confused the crap out of huddersfield, looks to be doing the same at saints.

If he was british, chances are people wouldn't even give him chance. Just because he's got an ocker accent..

Interesting how there are always stories about Brown being disruptive behind the scenes but he seems to get results. Similar to Brian Smith.

He got Huddersfield to a level of performance they had not been in decades, and he has Saints one point off top spot despite having 'problems in the camp'.

If we do decide to sack Tony Smith then I had said Noble, Powell and McNamara would be my preferred shortlist assuming neither of Wane or Brown were available, but if Saints sack Brown then he definitely goes in the list for me, probably 3rd after Powell.

All he has ever wanted is an NRL job. He was the same when he was at Hudds. If one NRL club came in with an offer (if he's not sacked by then!) then you wouldn't see him for dust.

He also mentioned "staff" in his post match interview. I wonder if that was a sideswipe at Mcmanus. If it was his days are definitely numbered.

same here..hes one annoying so and so

You're right, he's made no secret of it. But the Sydney media is unforgiving, for example just look at the Matt Parrish/Ray Hadley saga which is front page news at the moment over there. If he went over there would be endless replays of his antics on telly and I can't see many clubs there wanting to have their name to it with such emphasis on 'compliance' at the minute.

Shows how much peoples views are influenced by one result.

If Saints had beaten us yesterday would there be a big thread about Nathan Brown being sacked, with them top of the league? Or would the discussion be about "has TS taken Warrington as far as he can?"
