Sack Adam O'Brien

This is funny.

But can’t be us.

Do we have a player that could ‘take him outside’ and sort him out???

Klemmer.

For all the times he took subbed him when he didn’t want to go off.

So Buzz Rothfield has claimed in his column a coach has carried on like a goose at Mad Monday, A player wanted to sort him out allegedly. One guess who is leading the race in the guessing stakes on Twitter.

I personally don’t think it is O’Brien. It is just funny how Twitter works. AOB’s name was all over it. That is why he should be up front when he makes mistakes.

 

[Nuke]

Won't be Knights. They had their Mad Monday back in March.

I have plenty. One of them happens to be watching Rugby League. Unfortunately, the team I support is making it difficult for me to enjoy this specific hobby.

I think the club is waiting for the thread to hit 100 pages before they fire Obi immediately.

INSIDE KNIGHTS’ COACHING REVAMP

Four-time English Super League winner Brian McDermott will join the Knights next season as part of Adam O’Brien’s revamped coaching staff.

Newcastle will add the experienced mentor to their coaching set up after assistant coach Willie Peters left to take up the head coaching position at Hull KR. McDermott will add some experience to the Knights staff.

The 52-year-old led Leeds to multiple Super League championships and McDermott also guided Toronto Wolfpack into the Super League.

He spent this year coaching Featherstone Rovers in the second-tier competition. The ex-Bradford prop almost joined the NRL ahead of the 2021 season after being sounded out by former Sharks coach John Morris to be his assistant.

Covid-19 complications put an end to that. McDermott is in England assisting the Fijian team at the World Cup.

Thats is a very good appointment

Brian is a winner and hes very well respected in the Nth Hemisphere RL circles. Would strengthen our links to top line talent in the UK too

 

[Jono078]

I feel like I've heard his name in a positive light in rugby league circles?

Hope it works and helps attract further UK talent over.

I still hold out hope that Brian Smith's boy will be our next coach. Yes please.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Another big signing too guys!!!

Rick Stone is coming back to Newcastle (may or may not be at the Knights)

Great appointment. Great coach. Ex British Soldier. No bullshit human.

i don't know much about him but if your correct about the no bull, then he'll at a minimum hold the players to account. Something O'Brien is incapable of doing.

Could also be a backup plan for O'Brien if we have a bad start

Or he could be driven out if the players don't like how tough he is.

After this season's sh*t show I somehow doubt the players have much sway, I mean they could threaten to leave but there wouldn't be many teams knocking down the doors to pick up our players

He won’t give the players crap. That is not his go. At Leeds he was not afraid to make big calls on players, but that is not his role here. He is experienced in winning titles (4 In SL I believe) and is well respected across the game despite this being his NRL debut. Could be exactly what Adam needs. Parr would have done his homework. He’s also a valuable voice and support for the English lads if they feel a little homesick.
