Re: NRL General Discussion Thread
King choker himself.
According to Wikipedia, he's been at the Storm and "providing specialist coaching for the club's hookers". I'm sure Cam appreciates that.

Split this into it's own thread.
I've got mixed feelings over this appointment. On one hand, I'm not a fan of recycling coaches. With very few exceptions it rarely works out well when a coach doesn't leave on their terms and usually they don't bring anything new to the profession.
However, Brown was the youngest coach in the game, the Dragons weren't god awful under him and he did some good things over in the ESL. I have my doubts but I'm interested to see how Brown goes and think they could have done worse.

would have loved the Walkers bros to have got a shot, I could just imagine that their style would have worked a treat with their roster.

Certainly could have done worse, but unless he's prepared to make big changes at the club, I can't see him going far.
Restore pride in that jersey, the team will play.

My two cents
The Knights need a good kick up the arse and some motivation and I believe Brown is the kind of guy that can do that. He had a respectable record with the Dragons, has achieved success in Super League of late and has served a role under Bellamy that he could use to his advantage (McGuire eg). They need an overhaul though and if they won't get results unless he can make some changes.

He's older, wiser and most importantly has no previous affiliation with the club......unlike when he was at the Dragons. Could be a what they need. Besides which, he and Barrett facing off will be interesting.

Who knows? Maybe he'll be able to "slap" them into shape.

Sterlo hit him up about this last night on "Sterlo on the couch". Boy he played it well - very coy in his response, hats off to him.

I wouldn't call winning the Knights coaching gig a win.
