it is only natural for brown to want to coach at the highest club level, he is australian, played in nrl, did his coaching apprentaship in the nrl and now wants to go back and prove a few people wrong. good luck to the fella(if he gets an offer)

lets face upto it now, brown is off at the end of the season.

so paul anderson will be the new coach...or you would think so

brown was mouthing off last season to the press then he announced hes going....only for his house to burn down in oz and change the plans

then again he mouths off again after the leeds game to the press....dont think anything will be stopping him this time though

I just don't think I'd be happy with Anderson.

.

So be unhappy if it happens.

They could be the most experienced coach in the world and it could go boobs north. Mal Reilly has a decent rep and we were absolutely garbage under him. The closest thing to a dead cert in the coaching world is Wayne Bennett. He wont be coming either!

Why,

Because he is not Proven,

because he has not won anything

Tony Smith had won nothing, Nathan Brown had won nothing and neither of them were proven when they came to the Giants. ( neither of them have won anything either with the Giants)

Paul Anderson has been groomed for the job and has spent the last 4 years learning how to do the job under Sharp and Brown and then when him and Purtill took over after Sharp left.

Anderson is steeped in the running of the club and knows all the players. He will know which ones need the stick and which ones need the carrot. He will know all the other members of the coaching / admin / support team.

He will not need to learn anything about the club. He is someone who has done everything in the game as a player and has played under all the top coaches throughout Super League.

He will be rerady to be announced as soon as NB says he is going. No period of uncertainty and an ethos of carrying on what is being done.

he will provide continuity within the club and sends the message that the Huddersfield Giants is a club that provides stability and security.

Teams that have tended to dominate in sport are teams that do not make massive changes continuously but provide continuity from within the club. Look at Liverpool and Manchester United football club for the best examples.

The key for Anderson is to think about his assistant coach Brad Drew and Kieran Purtill would be good options, maybe even Gilmour.

I do think that the sooner it is sorted the better. We do not want to go through the crap we had last season with the will he wont he go saga.

I hope that the time between NB saying he is going and KD says that Anderson is taking over should be no more than 30 seconds.

Sky sports reporting since 3 PM today: Elliot out at end of season, Nathan Brown looking to return to OZ. 2 + 2 = 4

More often than not 2 + 2 = 5!

Elliott has single handedly destroyed the Panthers, not just the first team but the junior setup, the management, everything. He would have done less damage to the club if he had dropped a nuke on the stadium 10 minutes into the game and wiped out the whole squad and fan base.

We are now a team that has cemented ourselves as a quality side and one that is seriously a contender for the top 3, never mind just the play Offs. If NB is going then there isn't much we can do about that other than thank him for his efforts, buy him an engraved Zippo lighter and send him on his way. Signing a coach that has recently been sacked is not a common sense way of moving forward.

My money is probably on Anderson and you know what, the guy would have my full support and should have the support of us all.

The club have been prepared for the fact that Brown is OOC and therefore off at the end of the season.

what about Brian Noble

No way.

What about him?

A good bloke, speaks sense.

But NOT as a coach for us.

There's only one choice to replace Nathan for me............that man has to be Paul Anderson, it would be an absolute kick in the teeth for the guy to NOT get the job after serving his apprenticeship !
