Haha, I read this too.
Who does he think he is to be involved in overthrowing the coach who paid big money to get him there? LOL
Parasite.

Ugly’ and ‘poisonous’ split in Newcastle Knights playing group forced Nathan Brown’s early exit
KNIGHTS

  • Details have emerged of a player faction at Newcastle which ultimately led to coach Nathan Brown’s premature demise.
Brown walked out the door on Tuesday after coming to the conclusion he did not have the support of his playing group.

The coach reportedly confronted the senior players following Saturday’s 46-4 embarrassment against Wests Tigers, and told them he would walk away if they wanted him to.

According to NRL 360 co-host Paul Kent, Brown was told on Monday to stay in the gig for the remaining two weeks of the season.

“They play the Titans this week. The way they’re going they are a chance of getting rolled.”
Kent believes Brown lost the support of the senior players, and says there’s a split in the group, half of which supports Brown.

“Apparently there’s a split in the playing group now,” he said.

“I don’t think the senior players are supporting Brown, so they will fall in love with the new coach immediately. They have hitched their wagon to the new coach.

“The players who do support Brown - and I don’t know who they are - but clearly there’s not a strong enough personality in there to resist the new coach when he comes.

The Daily Telegraph’s Dean Ritchie said David Klemmer and Mitchell Pearce wanted Brown out and reported that an “ugly and increasing split in a poisonous Newcastle playing roster” forced his exit.
“Nathan Brown came to the clear conclusion that there was a split in the camp,” he said on NRL Tonight.

“Some of the senior players were against him. Mitchell Pearce and David Klemmer were two that did not support Nathan Brown.

“Nathan Brown walked in yesterday and realised there was a real toxic environment in the joint and realised he had to go.”

Kristian Woolf will take the reins as interim coach for the remaining two games of the season.

regardless of your relationship with a coach, tanking just to get a coach sacked is a low scum act.. Klemmer Peirce and Ponga should hang their heads in shame .. absolute grubs.

These 2 have experience and have played under different coaches at club and rep sides. What should they do if they dont think brown is up for the job?

Try and put in their best effort for the thousands of supporters who fork out memberships and turn up to the games to watch their team. Not go out and play like a bunch of busted asses because they are upset at a coach.

Misunderstood the point of this thread. It is questioning their effort in the last game. Thought it is about their input in not getting brown another year. Got it now.

What a bunch of WIMPS...I can see it now !
We all criticized that bulldogs fan who made a friendly suggestion to Klemmer to bring back the offload into his game...
How bad was Klemmer's arrogant reaction ???
We owe that fan an apology !!!

The club was right with the Klemmer call. It was the right call again.

I certainly wouldn't want players like that at our club. Very unprofessional and the fans are the ones who suffer ..

The fact that Brown chased Klemmer.. and now Klemmer was part of a group to get Brown sacked.. This song sounds suitable..

Pearce was the one who convinced Klemmer to go to the knights, looks like they've got a Farah situation now where players dictate.

The worst part is they were still a chance to make the eight, and they still have a sook about the coach and dish that up LOL. Clowns.
