Think he should hold out for head coach's role to be honest, as the story half-heartedly acknowledges.
It's alright for the likes of McNamara to be assistant coaches, but Brown's just done a total overhaul at a big SL club and delivered two trophies including the Championship. He completely deserves a good main gig, don't really see him benefiting from being an assistant at Manly.
He probably won't have long to wait until a head coach job comes up but taking an assistant role in the meantime allows him to wait for a job that suits him.
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
