Who do we want? Coach 2026-

[Alex28]

I suspect Holbrook has the job but we are holding off announcing until the Roosters season is over.

Great. Let’s get it done!

Buzz Rothfield claiming Dean Young interviewed strongly and the club like the fact there is no media agenda that comes with him. Whatever that means for the final decision is anyone’s guess. But no one is the wiser at the moment.

 

[Alex28]

Except that the only reports I’ve heard about him are coming from Buzz…

 

[Burwood]

What’s the agenda around Holbrook?

That’s really not a good reason to hire someone…

Toohey seems to think we will know by the end of today who the next coach will be

Thats a huge sign that its Holbrook given the Rooster season ended on Saturday

Agreed. Hard to see him missing it.

I don't know if anyone knows this stuff but does Holbrook have any connection to Moses?

Not 100% sure but I think I read he is not associated with Moses.

 

[SamSepi0l]

Beautiful. Welcome aboard new guy. Everything is already your fault

 

[HarVeeGee]

Holbrook's management is PSM/Orr Bros.

Same as Dylan Brown, the Arthur family & Sandon Smith, incidentally...

Also Cobbo and Drinkwater. They have an impressive list of players TBH. Not Moses level but overall quality.

 

[HarVeeGee]

They’ve got my favourite prop in the comp too, Moses Leota. Get on the phone POS! Tell him about the beaches!

 

[Alex28]

Telegraph now reporting Holbrook to be ratified at board level this afternoon.

 

[Knight Tales]

Great call. Who replaces Brian McDermott?

 

[aqua_duck]

Pretty much the only option really. Previous first grade experience, done his time in ESL and as an assistant, connection to the club from his playing days and most importantly not affiliated with the parasite Isaac Moses.

 

[ryan.a87]

Really looking forward to his first interview where he can speak to his vision going forward

Very happy with that. He was my first choice from the get go. Hopefully we can get a new attack coach too.
