In the battle of the Baldies last night this fraud got done over by Brad f**king Arthur ffs.

But he's still a good bloke, right?

Is nathan brown overrated? Let’s go through his strengths and weaknesses

Coaching weaknesses
Took a stacked Dragons team to 0 premierships
Took Newcastle to multiple spoons
Conceded 70 at the warriors

coaching strengths
Slapping players
Making penis jokes

Clearly a top tier coach

He took on two shit jobs.

Knights after Bennett and NZ Warriors after Kearney.

Pre Knights Record

Dragons 53%
Huddersfield Giants 58%
St Helens 63%

Good numbers all round, all he had to do was bide his time for a good job to come up, with those numbers he'd be a front runner for most jobs, like Barrett rushed into the first available job and killed his career.

Brown not committing to a move to NZ.

Lol. When even Nathan Brown, who will struggle to get a gig coaching Junee Thirds after this, won't commit to you then you know you're a terrible club.

Signing Brown as a coach in 2020. Who would have seen this ending badly.

You can't go off the Superleague records in my opinion. St Helens are always good regardless of coach (maybe the best resourced club? I don't know... but it's been the case since the 1990s). He may have done alright with the Huddersfield but you've gotta think 'right what does that mean in terms of teams he beat?' Basically, Wakefield, Leigh, Hull KR, North Wales Ballsacks, and equivalent -- the point is you can have a good record just because half of superleague is just dire.
