Sign him up now. He has that star studded Titans team really firing.
He is a good coach... but he fell into the trap of trying to make our players play to a style they weren't capable of executing.With that logic Baz was a good coach.
So in my books if he's doing something that doesn't work , STOP doing it' or people are going to think your a shit coach, example Trent Barrett!He is a good coach... but he fell into the trap of trying to make our players play to a style they weren't capable of executing.
Holbrook whilst struggling now, his side were much better in attack last season. He definitely has something to offer in the NRL in the right system imo.
No not exactly ... Sometimes you just don't have the quality players needed to compete.So in my books if he's doing something that doesn't work , STOP doing it' or people are going to think your a shit coach, example Trent Barrett!
Holbrook is hamstrung within the current Titans structure, Meninga has far too much influence in both team selection & recruitment.holbrook be a perfect fit for the bulldogs, the bloke is no dummy, from whats being said the problem for holbrook and a reason the titans are going so poorly is mal meninga sticking his nose into everything hes doing
Nah, can’t agree mate. Unless he is purely head coach by title only, he has to be held accountable for a roster that should never be last..He is a good coach... but he fell into the trap of trying to make our players play to a style they weren't capable of executing.

This is what you said ( He is a good coach... but he fell into the trap of trying to make our players play to a style they weren't capable of executing.) you can make all the excuses you like its a shitfight and he cant fix it.No not exactly ... Sometimes you just don't have the quality players needed to compete.
Using us and Barrett as an example, we didnt have a top 8 squad, but we definately had a team that shouldn't have been last and scoring so little points. I would argue that Titans team is far worse than ours on paper, especially over the period Fifita was out.
In his defence he has had Brimson, Fitita and Campbell out for the large chunks of the season. Arguably their 3 best players behind Tino. I get what you are saying, but that's hard for shit sides to overcome.Nah, can’t agree mate.

Mate, I just think that like Barrett he has a solid footy brain but fuck all idea about getting that message across to the players.In his defence he has had Brimson, Fitita and Campbell out for the large chunks of the season.

Wasn't Lynne Anderson on the board at the Titans before her and stooges tried to bring down the dogs from the inside?Titans management is garbage, remember when Henry had them firing yet they brought in Hayne against his wishes and everything fell to shit? They've basically just repeated the same mistake and more over and over again.
The only reason I still have faith in Holbrook is because of the way he changed StHelens attacking structure after Barba left and dominated. I haven't put the black line through him yet.Mate, I just think that like Barrett he has a solid footy brain but fuck all idea about getting that message across to the players.
Instilling belief and genuinely teaching and guiding people to perform to their best is a rare skill. I just don’t believe Barrett or Holbrook have it..
Nah, I disagree. I was living on the Goldcoast when Scotty Prince was the half and he was a pin up draw card. He was good and massively popular but, the Gold Coast have never had a superstar 6 or 7 and it’s been the biggest issue.The Gold Coast is where you go to escape from Rugby League NOT Play or watch it. Will never work.
Success coaching in the super league doesn’t always translate to success in the NRL. Nathan Brown had a successful stint over there and couldn’t get the knights or warriors to fire. Our very own Michael Potter had a 72% win rate at St Helen’s and that dropped to 35% at Wests TigersThe only reason I still have faith in Holbrook is because of the way he changed StHelens attacking structure after Barba left and dominated.

Very true. And the Gold Coast has been the downfall of a lot of sporting teams.The Gold Coast is where you go to escape from Rugby League NOT Play or watch it. Will never work.
Couldn't agree more, I was against the Titans coming into the competition as it had failed not once, twice, three but FOUR times previously.The Gold Coast is where you go to escape from Rugby League NOT Play or watch it. Will never work.
