Is there anyone on this site that has not moved jobs for better wages ? despite all of us being passionate about our teams we do have to remember that it is still just a job and we would all take the best offer available in our own circumstances.

cannot see how this will cause us any disruption at all from what i hear the players knew at least 6 weeks since that nb was going to be saints coach next year and it hasnt disrupted much since then as it, for me sorry to see him go but im with daz he has done a great job with us and wish him the best of luck , 4 years is probably long enough to be coach at one club to me.

Makes no odds to us him going. Our coach is sorted and I'm glad for that appointment
Personally if Brown doesn't win a cup with us this season he is never going to do it with us so again, Bon voyage and thanks for the memories.

I agree that NB by the end of the Season will have taken Hudds as far as he can and a new man may just be a breath of fresh air. Plus the leaving/staying has definately been a distraction.

Can't wait to see the effect of his incessant desire to place players into different positions than they currently play.

How about

Roby to loose Forward
Wellens to Second Row
Meli to Prop
Lomax to Hooker

You saw it first here.

Think I'm with jools and dg on this one.

He has done a great job at giants and was an inspired appointment. We thank him for his efforts and the memories and enjoyment he gave us. ( favourite moment was him encouraging/shouting on Leroy at Warrington as he sprinted down sideline 2 years ago)

The unsettling mid season turmoil is now with saints and I will be at the bookies betting he is back in nrl well before his saints contracts ends - and possibly even before it begins tbh. He wants an nrl job - and he deserves one - and you cannot criticise someone for being ambitious.

As for players , the most unsettled players at the moment will be the current saints ones who are going to get a new gaffer in. I think the young English giants players will be around the galpharm for a few years yet. Remember nathan is not a quick fix coach - more of an evolution than revolution one. The systems etc take time to embed, so think Nathan will assess his st Helens youth well before he is approaching giants players....

... which nicely leads on to andersons appointment. He is very popular and respected with the players , and I for one think it is great that we are giving an English coach who has served an apprenticeship a chance. Another great medium term giants decision understanding that the secret of real sustainable success is stability and internal development and quick fixes rarely work.

I wish Nathan all the best - and i will always be a fan of his for the memories he gave us.

Would have been happier to see him return to Oz but only he knows why he's staying. Perhaps thinks he's taken us as far as he can and needs a change. Either way, I'm behind him 100% until the end of the season. I'll always be grateful for what he has done for us but then he becomes just a coach of a rival team and we and him move on.
It's great that Baloo will take over, he must have learned a fair bit from Nathan. If NB had signed another 3 years Baloo might have been away. How long has he been the bridesmaid now? He deserves his chance. The only down side I see is if Saints try to poach our younger players to replace their ageing ones. Full back and Wing a case in point.

Note to Ken, Move heaven and earth to keep hold of Sir Danny Brough!

I'd be slightly annoyed if I was a Hudds fan. Had Madge saidvhe was leaving and then joined another SL club for example, id have been livid.

Be a good appointment for the Stains but their fans may not take to his nasty naughty tactics that only ourselves and you guys use lol.

So is Brown saying Saints are better than us! Personally I think it's bang out of order and if it was me I would sack him now and not wish him all the best. He is going to a rival team and messed us around for 3 years.

Your right. Those 3 years under him have been absolutely rubbish....other than being the best in my memory....

Anyone seen masons twitter on the nb news .....?
Two threads on here could become one yet.
