I bet Trent Barrett would have a different view on whether NB shied away from confrontation or not.

I'm not advocating the slap-in-the-face approach, but it doesn't indicate someone who doesn't 'do' confrontation.

I think for the saints board their main worry should be the fact that at both clubs he has "lost" the dressing room in a big way. At st George he could perhaps been forgiven for being young and inexperienced and in a position where he was having to manage guys he had once played alongside.
Robbo said in the early years that brown was a breath of fresh air compared to sharp and the best coach he'd worked under- but clearly at the end the players were unhappy and rebelled against him.

How anyone can claim a coach who took over a mid table team and turned is into a well respected team contesting the top 4 each season and 2 cup semi's a first wembley appearance in 40 years,a team that has beaten leeds at headingley for the first time in 50 years,then to do it in succesive seasons,a coach who has brought through some young quality british and local talent and had us playing some cracking stuff and turned is into sometimes feared opponents for the top clubs,can be considered a disaster is beyond me, were all entitled to our opinions and i respect that,yes he's done some bad things and got things wrong but i prefer to see the bigger picture,it's sad that it ended like this but i certainly appreciate what he's done for us over the last 4 years

Nathan Brown has been very good for giants even after last seasons will he go or will he stay upset they still finished in good position, ok didn't win anything but still creditable finish. I'll take what he's done for giants and thank him. I've followed Huddersfield since I was old enough to be lifted over turnstile at Fartown. So the last four years for me have been good ones. Also as someone pointed out possibly on another thread about being the first season able to spend up to the salary cap I think that the first time Giants had that ability was the season John Sharp went.

Spot on.

Cant disagree with any of that!

Brown has been good for the club and if we had won on Sun then these type of headlines would not have appeared and we would all be saying that the challenge cup was the one we all really wanted.

Yes he has made mistakes - as we all do - but you can never doubt the fact he did what he felt was the right thing to do. I wish him all the best at the Saints and it will be interesting to see how the Giants react to a NB Saints team.
