CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 14 Discussion

[Brocko]

That was slick from Croft

 

[Wolfie]

Penalty for Mickey Lewis throwing away a players boot.

 

[BroncsFan]

SKD almost with a Hodgo debut origin moment

 

[Morkel]

If anyone gave a shit about the Titans, Holbrook would have got the boot 2 seasons ago. But now they are just expected to **** up, and when they have that one unexpected win every season, the media is all "looks like they've turned the corner, we actually have a really serious football team here".

 

[Wolfie]

This looks like a really bad head knock for Bachelor.

Won't be going on to his Masters then.

 

[BroncsFan]

That is terrible defence... big prop just strolls through

 

[BroncsFan]

Won't be going on to his Masters then.

 

[Brocko]

Won't be going on to his Masters then.

After what happened with Henry and Brennan it's in their best interest to stick with a coach and just be patient. What I like about Holbrook's approach is that he's largely thinking long term. If you sack him, you run the risk of bringing in a coach who wants to tear it up, sign a bunch of players he coached in NSW Cup on inflated contracts and you're back in that cycle again.

If the Titans are going to be successful, it's going to be a long road.

How long? Thankfully for them, the only genuine fans have been so since the Giants days, so they have some patience.

His contract runs out next year, so if they're still producing the same performances until then.

I could understand it if they were getting smashed and never turned up. However they've been in every single game this year.

 

[Brocko]

The other thing for the Titans, even if they did sack Holbrook who are they going to get?

The only decent coach thats available is probably Flanno unless you go all in for rookie who is going to be as much long term as just keeping Holbrook anyways.

 

[Mustafur]

Titans have less journeyman these days and more young talent, I think it can pay off for them if they stick with the coach.

Seibold will probably be available.

 

[Wolfie]

So many penalties given away by Hull. Discipline is so bad

 

[lynx000]

Hannay is the one I would be chasing if going for a rookie coach.

 

[Sproj]

I’d be going for Adrian Lam.
