I’m thinking you lot will be blowing up Paul Rowley’s mobile today.

Agree it’s a shame but no point doing it if his family isn’t 100% behind it.
Also agree with Sally let’s not rush into anything - we need to look at the whole set up. Frankly from Middleton’s interviews it makes the club sound amateurish with responsibilities falling all onto 1 or 2 shoulders.
My only nagging thought is - should we have sounded out Holbrook as soon as he was available before he got all the NRL offers - I suspect it would have come to a similar conclusion but would have avoided what now looks like an embarrassing rejection of the club and the fans getting excited with the noise coming out last night just adds to the Wire / joke club narrative.

Anyway - onwards and upwards with Chambers!

So why did this joker waste SM’s time at the interview if he knew his family had reservations

Quite funny watching redvee forum swinging from Holbrook isn't a great coach to being a world beater.

Well I would say that pretty much confirms it’s off now. https://www.betfred.com/sports/event/19442725.2

One person said this... Not the entire fan base..

Not happening...

You made him look so silly, he decided to win a Grand Final... When did Price, Smith, Powell, Cullen etc win a Grand Final??

Did paula get the answers she was after re the Princess cruises?

I'll stand by my interpretation since we first started mentioning names that Rowley would be the answer and not some NRL coach between gigs particularly as no-one sticks around long enough from Australasia once they twig the Manchester ship canal has banned surf boards

Surely if we want a coach getting the best out of an average bunch of players, then we should look no further than Applegarth at Wakefield?

Obviously out of their depth based on early season form and now arguably the in-form side in the comp, he's performing miracles there?

Got to be a mickey take?

Smith??

Disappointing that Holbrook has said no.

I don't think Paul Rowley would be a bad shout though given our options.

Got to say that Holbrook looks like he's led us down the garden path here. Surely he'd have known that his family would have said no if that's the issue.

I think Rowley typifies the type of coach that gets results out of a pieced together squad with a backs against the wall mentality. We need someone with the experience of restructuring an RL club to grand final success.

I’m concerned that person isn’t available anywhere on the market at present.
