I can't quite believe Payton was the best of those choices but it kinda sums up the Warriors attitude of not changing anything thats broke.
I'd like to see them take a chance on those two brothers for a couple of years. They sound forward thinking and driven. Whats the worst that can happen? Another disappointing season?
Agreed. We'll probably end up with some washed up bigger name who will fail just like the rest
some conjecture part of the problem was they only wanted to give Todd a year, then get their real first choice in
That would be astoundingly bad management. So, exactly what we expect

Just like signing dead duck Kearney to a multi year extension then firing him less than a year in

And who is that?
Green and Griffin seem to be the favourites now. Will George and Robinson swallow their pride and re-consider the Walker bros?

I bloody hope so. Its time to do something bold and different

@South-Africa-Man I think this is only Botha that could get a rise out of an NZ league player
this is without a doubt your best ever post. Outstanding humour

Desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose. The Worriers are once again at the foot of the table showcasing another under performing New Zealand team. The Worriers should watch footage of prime Frans Botha in order the inspire themselves to great performances as he is the polar opposite of the Worriers players.
Your posts make me wish Jaguars4life or whatever his name is was still around.

Another nuisance soon to be cut short I'd expect

Subtle. Like a sledgehammer

The latest news is that Nathan Brown will be the new Warriors coach.

Another hire from the NRL coaching merry go round. Uninspiring

i thought he did a decent job at the Knights actually.
It's not the most overwhelming signing, but then i doubt there were a heap of realistic options

The Walkers were keen. Don't want to bang on, but if they get a chance elsewhere and do great I will be unhappy just like I was when we failed to make a play for Luke Lewis

there might be a reason that absolutely no one is taking a punt on them, despite some terrible teams with shit coaches at the helm.
They've made their desire to coach at the top level plain for a long time, and yet they don't have a gig.
Don't get me wrong, i absolutely would love to see them given a shot, but i am starting to get the impression they are never going to get one anywhere

I liked the walker brothers for the very reason that they were an unknown quantity. The reality is that bar a handful of players, the current Warriors squad is a dumpster fire made up of guys past their use-by, guys who probably wouldn't make many other squads, and other mediocre players. Even under someone like Bellamy I doubt this squad could be top 4. At least taking a chance on the brothers would give them a chance to prove their mettle with a team who sadly won't do much without a complete overhaul.
Im a loyal as hell fan, but the Blake Green saga summed up the current Warriors outfit for me - publicly tell him he's not wanted, give him the option of immediate release and then publicly complain when he leaves that his heart wasn't in it. What did they expect was going to happen?

Hard to disagree with any of this.
I'm hopeful that the axe is swung and we see off players like Blair and Hiku. Brown built a good team at the Knights and perhaps he can do the same for us. But can he do it without alienating the fan base.
Where it gets tricky for any Australian coach is obviously the culture shock. The bro culture etc. How do you get a NZ rugby union type work ethic out of a NZ rugby league player?
