I expected Holbrook to go but I must say I'm surprised he has gone to Gold Coast. They are serial failures and a poisoned chalice for any prospective coach. There's a difference between needing an opportunity and waiting for the right opportunity to be in the best position to succeed.
Ian Watson, Daryl Powell (taken Cas as far as he could) No body mentioned Danny Ward done a great job in that there London? Or go back to Oz.
No thanks to Danny Ward. It’s one thing playing every week as an underdog and over-delivering. Different ball game as head coach of Saints, would like to think he’s not on the frame.
Too big a risk IMO.

I would much prefer a British coach. I'm sick of Aussie's using our League, let the earn their stripes coaching wonaloonagonga bushtuckermen or whatever.
Quite happy for us to take Aussie coaches even if it is only for a couple of seasons, as their coaching system is miles better than ours.
Holbrook has transformed us in every area since he came in. On the pitch the product is great, we're winning, we play attractive rugby and almost every player has improved. Off the pitch, the players and staff are more involved with the community, crowds are up and there is a genuine feel good factor at the club. Someone like Holbrook just 'gets it' and thats exactly the type of model we need to continue building. The foundations are in place and it just needs a good coach to continue that work and have a similar philosophy and I believe that will come from Australia. There isn't a British coach that really stands out.

So what's the difference between what you have outlined versus interviewing a young NRL assistant? Is that not a risk too? In many senses arguably more of a risk because they haven't had experience of head coaching.
I must say however, that the club got it so right with JH. He ticked every box when he came and the bar was also set low taking over KC. The situation is different now and expectation is high. One hell of an ask to find the right man to succeed after JH...
Flanagan would be the coach with the best pedigree out of all of those available. The question is whether the club would be willing to risk the bad PR and possible entanglements similar to those we had with Barba over SL recognising NRL bans.
My bet would be another rising Aussie talent - someone like Demetriou or Fairleigh.
Saints to make a statement tomorrow I have no idea who his replacement is going to be
Can't believe they haven't asked me I talk a really good game.
Learned comment from The Don
Surely it'll just be to announce Holbrook's departure. I doubt it would be a replacement. You don't think this is one of the other reasons Marshall was brought in? Head coach?
