His wife and three daughters are currently in Sydney after being stranded by the volcanic ash clouds that caused major disruption to European air travel and it was during a conversion on Skype with middle daughter Annie that Brown finally made up his mind.

“When I came over I planned on staying for three years but there are some things that have happened in the last three or four weeks which made me realise how far I’ve taken the kids away,” he told a press conference at the Galpharm Stadium.

“The kids are home and they’re going to the beach, and to the park and going on boats and they don’t get to do that here.

“They deserve to do that because that’s the lifestyle I had and it’s the lifestyle I want for them. They’ve given up two years of that for my coaching.

“One of my daughters said to me on Skype ‘daddy can you please move back to Australia because I want to live here.’ That summed up for me 100% what I needed to do.

“Generally, all the decisions that are made in my family are based around what I do for rugby league and this was made for what I think needs to done for my children.”

It's going to be very difficult not having your loved ones around!

Hey if someone said to me that I would not see the wife for 5 months I would be asking when can it start
