Henry's tenure at the Gold Coast Titans was always going to end in tears. You have to hand it to him, when the Gold Coast were down and out in 2015, he galvanised the club and saw them through to the other side and got them to their third ever finals series.
Henry should have known then and there, it wasn't going to get any better than that. If he wanted to continue coaching, he should have handed in his resume to the Warriors and left the Titans when he was on top.
Instead, he's had to re-invent the wheel again and naturally his young side has been horribly inconsistent.
I don't believe he's entirely to blame for the Gold Coast's misfortunes, but he could have handled himself better. The Gold Coast Titans are the worst defensive side in the competition, and Henry did little to address their issues.
It was evident that Elgey needed to find his feet in the Intrust Super Cup, yet Henry kept running out an Elgey/Taylor halves pairing where teams would just constantly run through both halves.
It didn't appear he had any long term plans for the club, and while he did well to land some mid-season signings, it's difficult to build your own culture when you're relying on the open market.
