Would be good for family reasons.
I was the one who pointed out when Nrown2 made the statement about his family, so I don't know why you think it's some kind of gotcha:
Regardless, family reasons are irrelevant now he is back. My theory is that he left because the crappy job we found for him after the review was finished didn't align with his career goals, which is supported by evidence that I also sourced:This from 2022:
"There comes a time in life where my family's got to be more important than my coaching career, that's just the reality of it. I make no apologies for that," he told 9News in June.

Now it's pretty clear that you're the troll here, grasping for gotchas that don't exist. I have sourced evidence supporting my own theory, which has nothing to do with family reasons. But the theory that has zero basis in evidence is the one that says Brad Arthur is a shit human being that nobody named Nathan Brown wants to work with. As I said: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.
Top 30 rosters don't refer to NRLW or pathways. The top 30 means the NRL squad. Full time athletes (and Wiremu Greig).
The Dragons' resourcing has obviously dropped off a cliff since they lured Bennett to the club. They made the finals in four of the five years before he got there, whereas they are currently six straight years out of the finals. The Knights also had Tinkler before he went broke, probably for meeting Bennett's demands.
Exactly. Merkins still talking about the head coach as though he runs the club. They need to listen to the TCT interview with Bernie Gurr.
I get that, but what he said was that he was interested in putting a roster together, not coaching it. That’s more of a recruitment and retention position.
I think so too.
Would he be a good negotiator of contracts?
Not necessarily. There’s the football side of GM Football and there’s the business side. It can’t be an easy job and there’d be plenty of worse candidates than MON.
I have no idea because unlike many others on here, I have chosen not to crucify O'Neill based on what I think his actual job entails.
MON bashing is fun. You should give it a crack!
It likely does, but like any business negotiations the negotiator would work within parameters that they dont necessarily set for themselves, so who am I to judge whether MON is any good at it or not?
More fun watching everyone on here getting their titties twisted when they have most likely have no idea on the realities that exist.
Steve Murphy was the world's worst <whatever he did at the club>. Nobody here actually knew. They were just positive that he was really bad at it.
Resources?
This quote from here underlies why I believe it was the right time to sack Brad Arthur and why Ryles is probably the best man to replace him. Influence is a massive part of a coach's job, and reputation is a major part of that. It's why quality, experienced coaches like Anderson, Griffin (and Arthur?) drop out of coaching in the NRL and are replaced by men who've never coached an NRL club before.
