If Sheppard is responsible for our attack he should be fired. Into the sun.
I would like all the Knights fans on here to apologise to me, slotmachine and spot on.
From day one we could see Nathan Brown couldn’t coach.
We wouldn’t be in this position if I was the head coach, slotmachine and spot on my two assistants.
hell noI think Anthony Griffin may be the guy to look at.
What?Who is an upgrade? Feels like just about anyone would do. Just someone who can get the players playing like they are capable of. Nothing special...

Brown sounded very deflated in post-game conference. Sounds like he cares as much about the loss as the players.

We would also probably be on our 5th straight spoon with a roster somehow worse than 2016.
Anyway, f**k Brown off. The sooner the better. Bring in Jason Demetriou; doesn't have the baggage of the other coaches available and has the resume perfect to take an NRL coach role.
Honest question. What does Demetriou have achievement wise to justify being and nrl coach?
Other than being Bennets long term assistant I know little of the bloke.

JD was assistant to Paul Green when the Cowgirls won the GF.
JD won the QLD cup and State Championship with Pride back in 2014.
He also won the NSW Cup and State Championship with the Dragqueens in 2016.
Everywhere he goes he has had success.

Well lets look at the four best options on the market.
1. Tim Sheens. Veteran coach but you can question whether or not the game has passed him given how poorly Wests were in his last few years. He could just be the authoritative figure we need in the coaching role to get the best out of the players.
2. Trent Barrett. Maybe he got a raw end of the deal with Manly but I don't have faith in him being a high quality coach even in the long term. He'd benefit from continuing to be a reserve grade coach or an assistant.
3. Geoff Toovey. People look to him for his passion and his enthusiasm as a coach but I think he benefited from being Manly through and through. I doubt he can be any good at another club where he doesn't understand its culture, its history etc.
4. Anthony Griffin. Better than Brown all round but I guess you have the question marks over the fact he couldn't get it right at Brisbane or Penrith. Maybe at Penrith he was hard done by with Gus being the merkin he is but I wouldn't be overly confident with him.
Essentially, the top coaches I know of that are available have some baggage or clear flaws that likely wouldn't be good for us. Demetriou is a bold bet to make. Untested in the NRL but lacks the baggage of Griffin or Sheens, lacks of the obvious doubt of Toovey and Barrett. If there's any a good opportunity hedge your bets on an untested coach, its now with Demetriou with most established coaches being well entrenched in their current deals. It can end up like Brennan, sure, but that shouldn't give us a reason to not take a shot on him.
If there's another option out there then I'm by all means open to them.
Like Garth Brennan then eh?
Kevvy Walters would be my pick if we were to release Brown.Like Garth Brennan then eh?

For some reason Brown hasnt got the players up for the game. Management is what sets the intent of any organization ......The look on every player during the warm up didnt fill me with high hopes.....to a man they looked miserable. Pearce had his SOO face on....
