It would be pretty f**king dog to punt Mary before the season for Browny. Doust has morals...I think....

There we go for all the Nathan Brown haters. You don't win an ESL premiership by being a shit coach. The guy is ready for his crack in the NRL. Unfortunately won't be with us I assume, hope he is back one day.

Now everyone wants Brown back. Not so long ago a sign on the hill read Oust Doust / Down Brown. Loyal bunch of supporters are we?

The comp hasn't even started as I have written before Mary will be judged on results.

Congrats Nathan well done. Most of us knew Brown could coach. In fact experts always rated Browns technical ability. Hopefully he managed to learn the art of people leadership to round off his ability ready for the next NRL appointment. One thing Brown needs to make sure no matter which team he coaches that he doesn't appoint his mates as assistant coaches.

Nothing dog about it, if it's in the best interests of the club. Just means Mary would receive a nice pay out. Never going to happen though.

If Browny was coach instead of Bennett we would not be in this mess. Probably not have won a Grand Final but would have both Morris boys playing in the red V. He did not let much good talent go. He would of told Gaz to get fu$%ed as well when he wanted to come back and kept JMoz. Browny knew he was a good centre and not just a winger like Bennett thought he was. Glad Bennett won us the comp but now the Saints are paying for it big time. He bought in temps to get the job done, saw what good juniors we had and when his time was over the temps left for other clubs and he took the good juniors with him to Newcastle.

Browny got screwed by the club. I think from memory they said he could be assistant and he told them where to go. Not 100% sure someone can confirm. He backed himself to succeed in the UK and did. Whichever club he ends up at he will do a great job. I think possibly better than Maguire and Robinson.

Sorry Slippery I can't agree with this one. I wish that Doust would have signed Bennett for 5 years instead of 3 because if he did, we surely would not be in this mess.

The problem is not related to Bennett. It started when we did not keep our toough forwars or at least replace them like for like. We really should have kept Scott, Smith and replaced others with players of a similar standard.

We let go Prior too late and purchased Harrison and some fringe players we should have left alone. If you like we might have kept Bird if we did not sigh Ah Mau and all the other finge players.

The only reason we are in this mess is because the Board and CEO have signed off on bad recruitment over the past 3 years (post Bennett).

Yea! When you pitch Brown of 6 years ago against Bennett, it would be Bennett by a long shot.

When you pitching Brown against Mary today, it is Brown by a long shot.

Time goes on things change and we always want the best coach for our Club.

Congrats to Brownie. His first premiership title in the old dart.

One of the worst things you'll see on the field. He'll be castrated for that.

Was it Choppy Close who did something similar in Origin? Difference being that Queenslanders lauded him a hero for doing so.

Brent Tate delivered Birdy a fist to the face whilst Greg was prone and another lumpy Qlder lay on top of him. Still it was Bird, so it's almost forgivable.
