'Former St George Illawarra coach Nathan Brown has been mentioned but he is about to join St Helens on a deal that is understood to make him one of the highest-paid coaches in the game.'

Our lack of ambition is atrocious!

Absolutely! How we can ever be expected to compete with the big clubs again when all we're prepared to do is pay massive wages for the best possible available coaching candidates and sign Australian international players is just beyond me...

I have to say that did confuse me a little also!

I assume he was being ironic and facetious and I was agreeing

THANKS!

Quite interesting that the Wests Tigers speccies seem to be pretty torn between Sheens, Brown, Potter and a hatful of other ex SL coaches, like Morgan, Parish, Anderson and Tony Smith. Clearly, they havent seen such of these boys, or they wouldnt be creaming themselves about the likes of Potter and Justin Morgan. Either that, or the standard of NRL coaches really is poor.

I hope they go for Tony Smith personally. That would pretty much ruin this generation of Wolf.

Bloody hell! I know he likes to say he’s off home every other day, but if this turns out to be right it would be a big moony to Saints. Can’t see it myself, what loon would give a bloke like that a job, and before anyone says it we’re not lookin’.

“Ruin this generation” well if Smith signs any more soon to be has-beens form the last generation I think he’ll soon have them back on the road to insignificance again.

Quite odd that he is so far down the list, behind the likes of Brown, Gentle, Parish, Potter and co. who between them have won cock all

Good! Would have been an awkward moment if everyone had thought I was being serious...

Maybe his agent isnt pushing him. Didn't he pick up a British passport (i.e he doesnt want to go back to a country with better weather, more prospects, a better league and probably better pay)? Brown had experience in the NRL as a head coach too which non of the other you mentioned do.
