Just seen today's Sydney Daily Telegraph and they are reporting its between Nathan and Ricky Stuart for the Bulldogs job. It would appear that this could be the beginning of the end for Brown at the Giants. He has made no bones about the fact he wants to go home and obviously re signed because at that point there were no vacant roles back in Sydney. It may also explain the dismal performance yesterday by the team who might just have had enough of the 'circus' surrounding Brown everytime a job comes up back in Australia. Watching Nathan's interview on Sky Sports News he seemed a bit resigned and disinterested bearing in mind we had just been flogged by a very poor Bradford side anyone got any thoughts. Do you think he has told the players already???

Either way, the pplayers are professional sportsmen and should be able to play the game their payed to do well enough whatever else is happening

I agree Daz but performances have been very ropey for a while and our forwards seem to have lost the plot to be dominated the way we were by Bradford's 6 is clearly not good enough. I am convinced there's something going on behind the scenes thats having a detrimental impact on the playing side and this could be the exact reason. I am Nathan Brown's biggest fan but something is clearly not right at the moment imo.

I just hate being on a shoe string.

If this is the real reason for the hole we're in and NB wants to go then he should just do it. Go now if you don't want to stay at Fartown. Let Anderson have a chance. Don't get me wrong, I like NB but the wheels are well & truly coming off now and something needs to be done. I wonder if Browny really is the problem or if it's just down to the players?

The mans not going any where lock it someone.

why cant anyone accept that we are not playing well at the moment there doesnt have to be a sinister reason behind it, from all i have heard stuart is odds on fave for the job anyhow.

Anyone gotta key they can lend Boydy??

He doesnt think forums are the place for discussion!

we had this discussion on NRL LIVE ON FOX , our boots n all type programme and the general opinion was that at the moment nsw want a full time coach and not a coach from another team who does it part time, stuart would jump at the chance of state footy next year if given the chance so very doubtful he will take a club job was the general opinion.in regards to the rest of the candidates one person was miles ahead of the rest in the betting dept and he is currently coaching in west yorks. but he was also a favourite for the penrith job and that didnt come to anything either

If that is the case then I would rather he went sooner than later, the whole he's going, he's staying, no he's going is getting beyond tedious plus the players, the club and us fans deserve better. Nathan Brown has completely revolutionised out Club and taken us light years ahead of Sharpe and for that he has my uttermost respect - however the messing about we have had over the last two seasons has slowly but surely started to whittle away that respect I have for him so I can only start to imagine what is going on in the players minds. It doesn't matter how professional you are, it is a major distraction.

Well put.

the same things were said about the penrith job though, only time will tell on this one , but i can see every job that becomes available in the nrl will be linked to browny

in his column today in examiner nb says as far as he is concerned this speculation isnt even worth talking about, hes just signed a 1 contract extension, and im at the giants and thats it.

good - we needed to hear something - and thats the best thing to hear.
