Boo, get off the stage...

Wonder if McManus would want him back at saints?

Brown got a glowing report from the Knights hierarchy: admittedly after being sacked.

Gave him a lot of credit for laying foundations and developing the youth players really well... maybe not a daft fit for Leeds?

I always thought he was a bit whiney at pressers when he was at Saints to be honest.

He did a good job for a while but had a good roster this year which has been a huge disappointment. I actually wouldn't be that surprised if he ends up back at st George. Paul McGregor has been there years and they're still terrible.

Briz what would you reckon if Brown came to Leeds then?

Dunno. He always seems a bit of a whinger and he wouldn't be leaving Newcastle if all was well. Then again we would never get s current NRL coach who was going great guns.

Even some of the NRL pundits were saying that many of the options to fill Brown's boots were coaches who didn't have a great record, and that maybe they should look at an up and coming assistant like Jason Ryles at Melbourne.

I don't know what Tony Smith had done coaching-wise in Aus before he came to Huddersfield, but he transformed them and Leeds at the time.

If we have a good management team around them and KS as DoR, maybe an assistant NRL coach would be sensible. It's just the risk factor having got fingers burned with Furner.

Again, this is why I suspect they will retain Agar - the coach has to be able to work alongside KS who clearly has strong opinions about how things should be done.

One of the Directors told me only 3 months ago, fingers crossed they haven’t changed their minds. Agar only to the end of this season, no longer, it is not his job going forward.
Rest assured chaps you can sleep easy. I was also advised that the next coach is
Xxxxxxx xxxxxxx. Funnily enough one of GH family also told me the same.
