Originally posted by Michael Jones View PostThere seems to be a dearth of head coaches, as the FOX NRL shows were saying, as sacked head coaches are being recycled into new head coach roles, some after taking on an assistant coach role to resurrect their head coach careers.
Surely there must be younger coaches who can be given an opportunity to be a head coach after serving an apprenticeship as an assistant coach who have no so-called baggage in being sacked to take on these roles.
Granted, it is getting slightly better now. We are seeing some fresh blood coming through like Ciraldo and Ryles.
But..yeah. Lots of really shit coaches who kept getting gigs in the past just because 'experience' and probably had some mates in there too.
Anthony Griffin, Nathan Brown, Anthony Seibold, Trent Barrett, even Brian Smith (great strategist, but shit player manager) were/are journeymen who got multiple roles at the highest level, despite being absolute shite coaches.

I wonder how much of Trent's methodology Holbrook has learnt off Trent the past 2 years and how much better as a coach he will be this time around? Justin certainly seemed to improve our attack, so he may well be a good choice for the Knight's.
Im reading between the lines and suspect DCE will be heavily involved in our attacking strategies.

Astute signing very impressive.

Losing two of their best forwards and gaining Brown and Sandon.
Their roster is crap.
I feel for Holbrook because he wants to coach again and there is nothing else on the horizon really. Maybe Cowboys.
I wish him well. He did a lot for our attack this year. I hope we get a good replacement.

I know he re-signed recently for a further 2 years but, if the planets aligned i would welcome him in RWB.

I wonder if that has changed seeing what he has done at both #13 & #7 this year....

Holbrook is a very good coach and I saw our attack improve under him as the games went by. A loss but I’m sure we will be able to replace him.
Knights are a basket case at the moment and I wouldn’t want that gig. I thought Holbrook actually did ok at the Titans all things considered. Got them into the 8, which I think has only happened a couple of times.
