Daily Telegraph/Rothfield Holbrook, Hill and Coach Consolidated Mega Thread

[Vlasnik]

I blame Dean Pay for easily the last few pages. All this underperforming has sent us all up the wall.

Truer words have not been spoken.

 

[Thommo]

So Pay and Toleman for Thompson and Holbrook it is?

Not into sloppy seconds mate

Not into sloppy seconds mate

What if we include Elliot and Lichaa?

 

[MatstaDogg]

Pay has the fans turning on themselves

See, he did bring the madness that he spoke of. He has all us going mad at each other. Cheers Pay!

@ASSASSIN might enjoy a cock in the ass but I’ll give it a miss

You're way off, horse cock breath.

Wonder why some think everything revolves around sex?

 

[JackDog]

Quite the night was had here last night I see...

BTW have we dumped Pay and signed Holbrook yet?

Not a whole lot more than we already know:

"Nothing's changed from last week," Holbrook told PA. "I'm really happy here but I'll obviously have a look at what there is. "It's more speculation than anything else with the interest but I'll see what happens. I don't want it to drag on. I don't think it's good for any club or myself. I don't want the speculation to be about myself. We've got a great side here and a great club. Hopefully within a week or two it will get sorted and you don't have to ask. But I'm not sure at this stage."

St Helens chief executive Mike Rush has said Holbrook's future is in his own hands but warns there "has to be a time frame for when all this comes to an end".

Holbrook, who coached the Junior Kangaroos in his native Australia, said: "The club have been fantastic. I said if I could just have a couple more weeks which they were good enough to grant me. I don't want to disrespect our club. I know it's a great position I'm in here as coach of St Helens. That's why I said I don't want it to drag on. I appreciate what they're doing from their end and allow me a couple of weeks to make sure I look at everything."

If I had to make a call solely based on that article I'd say he's staying at St Helens. He seems to be apologising to them for taking so long to make a decision.

My read on that is different

He’s leaving UK

Straight shootout with us and Titans but unless the Titans are making him do the interview process whereas assuming (hopeful) we just said the gig is yours

How this plays out in the end will determine if we have a new board come Feb 2020

Need an alternative Board to put their hand up first...would anyone, after this continuing mess?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

What the fook is going on er?!

 

[Vlasnik]

Oh very well said Mr Vlasnik,you have a way with words
Almost like poetry
Don’t worry mate most of us are on the same page in regards to our future and coach.

Thanks Dogggy, my brother Drop Bear payed me a similar compliment, he was the only Parra supporter that posted on the Kennel that I truly liked. May he rest in peace....gone but never forgotten!!!!

According to Clarkey's nrl Column on facebook, the titans are interviewing the Walker brothers.

I always thought this would be a good move, as two heads are better than one Besides IMO the Walker brothers deserve a shot. It would leave Holbrook with a choice between us ( the basket case that we are ) or Saint Helens.

Saw headline somewhere a couple of days ago about holbrook also to be interviewed by them

 

[BlackJackBulldog]

My question is;
Did Holbrook get the 2 week extension to the Saints deadline because he was needing to interview for the Tits job? Or because he is waiting for Pay to (potentially) get the sack?
Would he be able to remain at St Helens after all this back forth as it seems he is, rightfully, waiting for his NRL shot?

Yeah we are looking at this all wrong....We need to call an extrodinary meeting and sack the inactive, inept board...winning starts at the top, the front office.

 

[dogwhisperer]

Have we signed Holbrook yet?
Has Pay been sacked yet?

Not yet and Not yet.

I really think coaches should be lining up for a coaching gig at the Dogs. Two reasons:

1. They will have a war chest of over $8m to buy players they want for 2021

2. Canterbury is a club that would really pay good coin if the coach excels in his role at the club. Like how Hasler got $1m a season after he took us to grand finals. Prove you’re a good coach and the dogs will pay up.

Most FG club coaches should be knocking on our door for a gig. I would. I just don’t get it.
