I agree. I don’t think he’s the type to throw his toys out of the cot. I absolutely think BA is though.
For sure, but the fact remains he did move them to the Gold Coast and then bring them back. Brad Arthur didn’t force them to move up there.
No it doesn’t, but that’s what he did. There’s other clubs in Sydney. Plenty more than there are on the Gold Coast. And if he wasn’t good enough for the Titans why should we want him?
Pushed a very long way out of Parramatta. Do we really have the power to relocate someone?
I think that’s just confirmation bias. If he’d stayed in Sydney I would say you’re likely right. The move to the QLD border is the elephant in the room. That’s a proper dummy spit just because an NRL coach couldn’t find a spot for you on his staff. I just don’t see it. There’s eight other Sydney clubs that couldn’t find a spot for him either, plus the Titans and two other clubs within driving distance of the Gold Coast.
He didn’t just leave his employer, he sold his house and moved away from the majority of the NRL coaching jobs. The fact he is back so soon tells me he is very lucky his mate got the head coaching job.
I don’t think so. Someone lacking self control like that wouldn’t have lasted this long as a coach, especially not with a ‘bean counter’ CEO. We don’t need to project these childish traits onto a man loved by his players and with demonstrable NRL success.
It’s possible, but again, these guys are professionals. I just think Nrown2 wanted to join an NRL coaching staff instead of dickarsing around in Joey Grima’s old job. There were no openings at Parramatta, or anywhere else. Nrown2 moved to the Gold Coast with an eye to retirement, and put out feelers with Hasler, who didn’t need him either. Then his mate Ryles got the head coaching gig here and Nrown2 got another opportunity, so his retirement plans were shelved.

That’s a plausible assumption of events as well. No more or less than the alternative. That’s all I’m saying. There are strong arguments for both. Have you got sources for those statements you quote as fact at the top of your post?The truth Nrown had stuff all interaction with BA, but had a good relationship with him. Brown even gave BA a reference to Leeds for their background checks. Nrown contacts from his time in the UK reached out to him.
He actually left because of a fall out MON.
He agreed to take on a coaching role with the eels NRLW on the understanding he wouId get the head role in 2024
Nathan Brown joins Parramatta Eels' NRLW coaching ranks
Former NRL head coach Nathan Brown will join the Parramatta Eels’ NRLW staff in 2023.
But the club then decided to go with Steve Georgallis. This was announced on the 22 November.

Steve Georgallis appointed the Eels' NRLW Head Coach.
Nrown, quit the day before on 21 November, when he was blindsided and told he wouldn't be appointed. He was pissed off, as he thought he was going to get it.

Nathan Brown to step down from Elite Pathways coaching role.
He is only coming back to help his great mate Ryles.
This is no less plausible than relying on facebook rumours.
It’s more that he moved away from Sydney without a job that shows his motivation. He didn’t get one while he was on the Gold Coast either. I’m thinking the only reason he came back was to help his mate, rather than that he was desperate to work on an NRL coaching staff. He has previously said he wants to help a young coach keep his job.
This makes the most sense. Nrown2 doesn’t need to work, so he likely only wants a job that is personally satisfying.The truth Nrown had stuff all interaction with BA, but had a good relationship with him.

He is also on record in that same article as saying he wants to work with younger players. It would seem that the eels gig aligned pretty well with where we wanted to be. The fact he left fairly quickly after taking the role seems odd.
I don’t necessarily disagree with him returning to help JR, but again, it has little relevance to why he left in the first place.
Oh dear, please stop Mr No-Life Troll.... I never claimed that Nathan Brown lied.
and have the hiatus you so obviously need.
So that's simply your opinion, and not fact...
Does this mean you'll have more time to post/troll on here in 2025, or less time to post/troll here in 2025... asking for a friend

There’s ‘younger players’ in the full time squad and then there’s ‘younger players’ playing and training part time in the pathways, most of whom will never even play reserve grade. Nrown2’s interest is in the NRL squad.
Because he wasn’t needed here in the type of job he wanted. I was surprised when I heard him interviewed by one of the podcasters how it seemed he was just doing odd jobs around the club. I got the impression he thought it was beneath him. I certainly thought it was. I have never seen anything to suggest he had interpersonal issues with anyone.
Well he did a splendid job across 11 years do you blame them.
