It was nice to see a passionate defence of Wayne for a change, indeed.

And rightfully so, Crawley summed it up so perfectly and they were getting frustrated being in a position where they actually had to face someone who presented a well positioned counter argument.

You can imagine how dumbfounded the were when the usually have to debate with Rothfield, which is hardly a fair fight.

Watching Crawley on 360 tonight was brilliant. Finally, someone who is actually doing their job as a journalist. It was clear he had done a bit of research and looked into Wayne’s time in Newcastle for what it actually was.
Kent had nothing on 360 tonight, he knew Crawley had the facts and was going to shut down whatever shit he would try and stir up..vastly different to what Kent had to say on Triple M on Sunday morning..
The fact that Brown has since rang Wayne, and also Ikin to check on the family confirms that he knows what he said was too far below the belt and unnecessary. The way Brown said it, illustrated to me that it was planned, he had already thought about it pre game and had it ready if the knights won. Had the knights lost I’m pretty confident he wouldn’t have said it.
The fact is at the end of the day Wayne was brought to the Knights to deliver a premership within his 3 year contract.
It is basically impossible to walk into a roster (that wasn’t already built) and win a premership within a 3yr period.. the only way to get close to doing it would be be buying experienced players and paying decent dollars for them, exactly what he did and was told to do. He then took the knights to one game away from the grand final..

Like most things truth is in between. Defending WB isn’t a journalist doing his job. He provided an opinion backed with some evidence but hardly had equal perspective.

Tinkler was biggest issue and sounds like WB did some good things (not exactly earth shattering more like professionalism which may be hard if knights were set in their ways).

Facts is however the guys that have made the biggest difference bar 1 or 2 aren’t the knights juniors but are the buys, helped by freeing up cap with ok performing locals. The main difference is Browns signings aren’t over the hill 30odd year olds but genuine firepower you can build around, helped by cap dynamics that hindered some other competing offers.

So far since becoming SuperCoach WB has left 3 clubs and all 3 failed miserably after he left. Either WB is beyond SuperCoach or he has put in place systems that screw you once he and his aura has gone. Issue for broncs currently is doesn’t seem like aura is working well at moment...

Also you don’t pay a million odd per year for a coach getting close to premiership. You get it for winning at end of been a while since justified that pay check.

Coaches should be measured on what they do at the club, not how the club performs after they leave
