Nathan Brown is being tipped to return to Australia

HUDDERSFIELD coach Nathan Brown is being tipped to return to Australia in November to become assistant boss of Russell Crowe’s South Sydney.
Brown is contracted to the Giants until the end of next year but has a release clause if a suitable NRL offer comes along.
He had been linked with struggling Cronulla but Souths, whose star forward is England’s Sam Burgess, would represent a tempting proposition given that he would be in line to replace their veteran coach John Lang should he decide to retire in the next couple of years.
Souths are refusing to release Burgess for England’s one-off Test against France at Leigh next month.
New England coach Steve McNamara, whom Burgess played under at Bradford, wants him to return for the June 12 clash, which is on the same day Souths play Brisbane Broncos.
McNamara has reportedly told Burgess he is the frontrunner to replace Jamie Peacock as England skipper down the track. Burgess was happy to fly back for the French game but Souths are digging in their heels. “Sam is contracted to South Sydney and as far as we are concerned he is playing against Brisbane that weekend,” said Souths chief executive Shane Richardson. “You don’t see the UK-based Kiwis flying back for the Anzac Test.”
St Helens coach Mick Potter has emerged as a shock contender for the Bradford job, which falls vacant when McNamara takes up his England duties full-time at the end of the season.
Potter is out of contract at Saints and is not expected to look for a new deal.
