The would be another sensible move!

Get a half decent coach but give him the worst squad we've had in SL then remove his only real half back and when we get injuries and the paper thin squad is exposed SACK him!

Hardly likely....

I HOPE!

Brown won't be going anywhere yet.

Any talk of brown going now with the squad he's had is ridiculous !

we all know browns downfalls, main one being having no plan B when things start to go wrong.

but he was good for huddersfield..look at the players he brought on!

cudjoe (made him an international centre)
wardle (gave debut)
mcgillvary (gave debut)
brough (signed him)
robinson (international hooker)
lunt (debut)
patrick (debut)

we have alot to thank him for

I'd be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY surprised if that was the case and VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY uneasy if that was the case. McManus would, with that move, seem to place the blame onto the coaching when it is not atm.

I like Brown and I cannot see why people are failing to see that it is the team that is the problem and not him.

I'd be inclined to believe any rumours about Brown, as there was always the question over his desire to take the job in the first place. He's been trying to get a job back in the NRL pretty much since he joined Huddersfield. He clearly doesn't want to be coaching in England if he can help it.

So it might not be him getting sacked as such, perhaps the size of the challenge and lack of investment in helping with it has made him question his desire to do the job?

Don't you think it's just the usual inane rumour that arises when a team goes through a rough patch?

It would be outrageous to sack Brown at this stage given the materials he's been able to work with.

Given that he couldn't get a job in the NRL before he took the job at Saints, I don't think he's going to get one now.

Maybe because it isn't wholly the team which is the problem. For example, it wasn't the team who decided to mess around with the pivot positions just before our biggest game of the season and it wasn't the team who decided to dispense with our one remaining fit 6. There are other questions too which go to the coach rather than the team. And, at the end of the day, the buck stops with the coach regardless of how good or not the team is.

Ultimately, yes. But I think it would be harsh not to acknowledge that he has inherited a number of problems from previous regimes. He needs some time to sort these problems out before we can judge him on his own merits.

Exactly, it's all about context.

How can a coach be questioned when he has inherited a squad with ZERO half-backs?! I am completely baffled as to any question of his ability currently. If that is sorted (a big if!) this season and the problems persist then I would agree with SaintsFan. We shown a lot of effort and desire on Sat and that shows that Brown said the right things at half-time as they came out a different team, or was that the team that did that?



Someone who was bang average last season and this season? Gaskell did a similar job to Hohaia when he has played #6 for Saints yet everyone hates Hohaia but thinks Gaskell is the saviour? It makes no sense.
