It’ll be him or seibold looks like

Honestly for his career it would be a good move. I don't think his body is up for NRL seasons anymore. I think the ESL should be a touch easier on his body. Might even be able to get Jake to come with him.

Pretty happy with this appointment tbh. He’s got experience as a head coach, doesn’t come with the Moses drama and knows the club from his playing days but is also far enough from it that he can be objective without the old boys bs.

I was hoping we’d sign him. Was a bit worried when I heard the media talking names like Green, Dean Young and McGreggor.

Think Holbrook is an excellent signing

you are entitled to your opinion. Reality is none of us know. Appointing a HC is a crap shoot unless you are getting one that has proven it over and over - and even then it’s still a bit of a crap shoot.

I tend to agree though that the pickings are slim so why not take a risk and try something left field. I wanted Cheika for Parra for that reason tbh.

Newie can't go much worse...I see very little difference between Holbrook and AOB honestly. Two highly rated assistants who flopped as head coaches, in a long line of them recently. Holbrook's one saving grace is that the Titans are literally pointless and I don't think any coach will ever change that

Titans went backwards under des

And hollbrook has success in super league as a head coach which aob doesn’t

Cheika needs time as an assistant at least he’s a risk even coaching Lebanon in league and Argentina in union

Cheika is going to be doing his second stint as an assistant at the Roosters. Just like Holbrook did (as he was an assistant prior to him going to the Gold Coast).

Flopped as head coaches? Holbrook has succeeded more than failed as a head coach and actually has head coach experience, at any level, unlike AOB did before the Knights gave him the NRL gig.

The 2 arent really comparable

Storm looking to loan out Jonah Pezet for 2026. Souths have already said no.

I think other clubs are calling Melbournes bluff. Pezet can then get out of his contract given Hughes signed on longer and that's his out. Just being loaned lets Melbourne have there cake and eat it too.

I'm sure if Pezet wants out, clubs will move on players to make cap space appear.

So Anasta paraded a teams back up halfback (admittedly a good player) on NRL360 who he happens to manage and is free to negotiate with other clubs.
