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.

Well good luck to him when he goes, as he says his job is currently coach for Huddersfield Giants and whilst he's here, I'll give him my full support, we're top of the league and we mustn't let our start slip by as a missed opportunity, NB won't want that neither will Anderson, or the players for that matter.

People are correct here and we are all entitled to our own opinion.

I thank brown for what he has done for us but he said anderson is taking over as i am returning HOME (meaning oz) but not he is to join saints

Surely us fans are owed an explanation of why he said he was going home and now saints. If he said that he was just leaving giants then it would of been different im sure.

As i said before leave our players alone and i will be ok with him leaving

If he tries that one then the senior players will stop playing for him, we will lose four matches on the spin and he will be fired.

Why - why should we be "owed" anything. Nathan has no loyalties to the giants- he is a guy doing a job. He doesn't have to discuss his families' personal decisions with us. I'm thinking of leaving my job- do I have to discuss my reasons with the parents of the kids I teach? Some people on here are seeing this from a purely selfish pov.

It's a shame to see him leave your team I must say, getting a good coach are the Saints. .

He owes us nothing he has to put himself and his family first and good luck to him, he's done a great job here and is still our coach until september so we should support him,respect his decision and thank him for everything he has done for this club, and of course wish him well, i cant see how this will affect the players, after all they knew last december he would be leaving the giants so nothing has changed there.

Exactly !!! just remember the Saints job wasn't available nor expected to become available when he made his decision to leave us. did people want him to never work again and support his family because he owes Huddersfield fans that ??

lets get real here.....a superb, previously not available, job opportunity has come up for him after he has decided to leave his current job, is he supposed to say ..."no thanks i cant take the job it wont be fair on the Huddersfield fans if i do ....".

no just the fact that he said he was going home so he didnt sign a longer contract at us then take a 3 year option at saints. im more annoyed the way his played us about in the last few seasons.

him joining saints is not a problem to me just this saga we have had in last 2 years

Exactly, their problem
