    Default Holbrook

    There's a rumour on Loverugbyleague.com that Holbrook offered to resign after the cup final but the board refused!

    Anyone on here know whether that's true or just clickbait?

    Probably read some of the absolute tripe on Twitter
    Can't stop the spirits when they need you.

    This life is more than just a read through.

    Very often smoke without fire, it's called rumour and gossip

    If we ban him he will just be back on their site bragging about getting banned from here. Better to just ignore him, he will soon get tired of posting to himself

    I heard your sister is on the game to pay for her crack habit. As you say, no smoke without fire.

    Worse than that his Sister is also his Mother, he only found out when he tried it on with his Cousin who turned out to actually be his Brother. No wonder the poor lad has special needs.

    It's a very interesting rumour. Why would he do that? I mean, Warrington are pretty terrible, but at the time were second in the league, only one place behind us. Losing to them certainly isn't an embarassment, as the rest of the league is terrible as well, we've just been slightly better for most of the year. So why would losing a very tight game (Which despite the giddy Warrington fans telling everyone otherwise, it was. It was tight and neither side made many breaks) to Warrington warrant handing in your notice when you are leaving at the end of the season anyway? It would indicate that either he got something extremely badly wrong, something that had divided opinion internally beforehand. The only thing I can think of was playing Coote and Roby when they weren't fit possibly? Who knows. The only other scenario I can think of is the players blaming him for the debacle that was our performance and him losing the dressing room. No sign of that against Castleford though, nilled a team that had enjoyed a week off preparing for the game. I'll go for it not being true and possibly another example of the anti-Saints reaction we've seen post-Wembley, but I am intrigued.

    I don't really care true or not , he didn't resign, he is in his last month. See how it plays out.

    He will sign off as a either a sucessful coach who repaired the damage from the KC experiment , rebuilt bridges to the community , put out a team with style and won a pot.
    Or
    A nice guy who didn't win anything.

    As well as getting us out of a very dark and dismal place.
