| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"It will be interesting to see how we handle this. I just think we're not capable of winning SL this season so why not use the remaining games to work through the tactical changes he's going to make and hit next season running with a bit of optimism rather than limping out of the playoffs this year and starting next season slowly, which is what would happen if we delayed his arrival.
Rush also said he doesn't want to do the job any longer than is required, so it seems better for all parties to make the change now.'"
I want Brown coming in fresh fit our pre season and it will freshen the squad up, if he comes in now and we start losing games, it will be add a negative atmosphere leading in to 2013 season.
He should go home to OZ and have a rest while working on our squad for next year and get his perpetration sorted for how he wants us to play.
IMO its a blessing in disguise for us.

| Rush said he only wanted to do the job as long as needed, however if you remember when daniel anderson came in, he had about 4 or 5 weeks with the players and coaching staff taking the lead. I think after 4 or 5 games the season will be pretty much done, so Rush maybe in charge still at least until the wembley weekend to give the players a good full 2 weeks. Having said that Brown is hired for next year so may not start until next year????
At the moment this changes nothing at Saints until Saints decided what to do!!

| Aiiiii he is a top class coach alright and we have the trophy's to show for it at Huddersfield. He has spent upto cap for last 3 seasons and brought numerous internationals to the club.
Be prepared for the mid season dip season after season and woe betide if a job in Oz comes up cos he has been leaving every season at the Giants, Saints will be no different cos he utimately wants a job in Oz, he probably won't get one though cos he isn't good enough.
We should have got shut a while ago when he starts all this playing a small pack rubbish with second rowers and hookers a plenty. We might then have still been up near top of league and visiting Wembley.
Glad to get shut of him and hope he doesn't damage your club cos Saints ain't one of the teams I dislike.

I'll put money on him winning something with saints during his 3 years at saints.
With respect, the hudds squad is a mid table squad that can ouch above it's weight and then expeditions get to high.
Next year he will have a much better squad of players, he will be fired up to prove the likes of you wrong and we also have the best training facilities in super league.

| I don't buy into the "leaving for Aus" thing with him now.
There's no more "look how well he's doing with an unfashionable team". He's coaching Saints now. If he can't win a trophy with them, then he's not good enough for a coaching job in the premier RL competetion.
If he wins a trophy (or two) then leaves, well, it could be worse.

Not sure there is this almighty difference between the Saints and Giants squads.
Unless he gets a lucky set of CC draws I would put money on you not reaching a final under Brown . Not a pop at saints, just the limitations of Brown.

IMO your squad is miles behind Wigan, saints, Leeds, Catalan, Warrington and hull.
The likes of grix, mcgilvery, murphy, gilmour, brown, Moore, ferguson, Lawrence and others I can't even think of are average players.

I agree with this (although I have no idea what perpetration is?  )
Its a bit like in cricket having a few difficult overs to survive at the end of a days play when you bowl a side out. Far better to start the following day when you are fresh. Leave Rush and KC in charge, give him a break from what must have been a pretty stressful couple of months at Hudds. Start pre season with new plans and new tactics and a few months to drill them into the players prior to the start of next season.

Who went out of his way to sign those players, make one of them his captain and agree to contract extensions
=#FF0000grix, , murphy, gilmour, brown, Moore, ferguson,
I disagree with you on Murphy, Ferguson, Lawrence and McGilvary. All are good solid players

IMO you are utterly wrong.
Assuming your analysis is correct then:
McGilvray Grix, Murphy, Moore, Gilmour,Ferguson all given their first Giants contract by N. Brown. K Brown and Lawrence got renewed contracts under Nathan Brown....oh dear, you must think his judgement very poor (especially as one of his firts signings was Turner  )

McGennis, Clough, Dixon, Wheeler, Foster, Makinson? Its easy to dismiss players.
Truth is with a salary cap every team have average players. Successful teams use the players within their limitations and make them look good Carl Ablett and Liam Farrell are two excellent examples of that.
Saints have a similar fundamental flaw that the Giants have, too light a pack, only Puletua would physically dominate anyone. Much more difficult to play pretty footy without field position or even the ball.
