Though there may have been an announcement by now. I'm beginning to get a bit jittery now.

If I remember correctly he said on Sky prior to the Leeds game that there are no issues and it should be sorted in a fortnight
However the Aussie media reckon the Bulldogs are about to sack Pay..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKq2N7HhnuE bit of a long watch,but about 16 minute mark he says " there is a bit of news about St.Helens" hopefully it will be a new deal announcement for Holbrook
Perhaps its us dragging our feet. Ive got a feeling that maybe Mcmanus isn’t too sure about resigning him. Im not sure he’s good enough for an NRL gig either.

Holbrook was looking at his options back home after magic weekend. If he's not ready to go back to the NRL yet/if the right job isn't available he was going to re-sign with us.
I'm not sure where he's up to with it yet I haven't heard about that.
I hope he stays, he's built up a good squad I think he should see if he can win some silverware with it. He's got plenty of time to do a few more seasons here before going back.

He's been good for us but I don't think he's done enough to get a job as a main coach in the NRL.
Having said that their can sometimes be family considerations e.g children, schools and family that have to be considered.

Considering the state we were in when Cunningham got a new contract I would say JH would have to say he is interested in the Leeds or Wigan job for Macmanus to drag his feet. I guess it will be announced in the build up to the Warrington game, maybe even have a fly by during the game with the confirmation after the Warrington antics on Friday.
I doubt Long moving to Union would have happen in Holbrooks departure was a likelihood.
I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.
Holbrook called it a formality in tonight’s league Weekly
I am sure he would rather have been a head coach and got a pay increase that way. It is good he has got a better job either way.

Good to hear on Holbrook, it’s not been sounding convincing up until now but that sounds like it’s a done deal. I think it was always likely Thompson was going to go to the NRL, at least we’ll have plenty of time to sort a replacement for him. Not sure who that will be though.
I think the prop position is going to be key for us over the next 12-18 months. We’ll have Douglas and Amor leaving after thus year presumably and then it’s looking like Thompson after that. LMS won’t have too many years left either.
So we are going to need a couple of signings there to go with Walmsley, Lees and Ashworth.
Fully agree on Holbrook, it’ll be good to tie him down for another couple of years hopefully and let him build on what he’s done so far. He needs some major silverware this year to silence any doubters but I’m confident he’ll do it.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
How do we know that he hasn't already signed but they're just delaying the announcement?
I hope you keep him.
