Welcome Adam O'Brien

[bob dylan]

Our next coach apparently.

I hope it is April 1.

[Not Paul Kent]

Moses connection

Knights were crap this season but to be fair to O'brien he took over a wooden spoon team and took them to the finals until this season imploded. He is a better assistant than Dymock or Hales

Today's paper said he is coming on board as an assistant. By Buzz lightbulb.

It makes sense. Replace one spoon coach with the current spoon coach.

The Manly Way 😁

 

[Bomb Voyage]

If replacing Dymock as defense coach, I'm ok with that.

 

[Buddy Love]

As an assistant hopefully

 

[wombatgc]

Not the worst option imo.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Coached 6 years of NRL for 4 finals series hasn’t he ? Probably not a bad assistant option

You clearly didn't watch many Newcastle games this year. Their attack was putrid.

They beat us but.

They didnt have any halves.

I like him, very sincere and seems to be a nice person.

Nil spine will do that to you.

Their defence on the other hand was quite respectable, or at least until it fell away at the end of the comp.

As of lead-up to R20, teams points against
Dogs 270 (16 games)
storm 297 (16)
Manly 322 (16)
Wahs 324 (16)
Panthers 329 (16)
Raiders 354 (17)

That's 6th in the league, despite playing an extra game. Not to mention after losing their last 5 straight so probably ranked higher in D a bit earlier in the season. Admittedly it went sour at the end, with injuries and coach shown the door
