We would have been in talks with Holbrook for a while.


If we were we must have had to work hard to keep that one quiet.

Not that hard really, they just didn`t tell The Duck.

I suppose we have all been looking for reasons as to how we have ended up with the worst form for 20 years. If the money to get Holbrook over here that has been mentioned is anywhere near true then fair play to them.


If we have managed to secure Holbrook, in our position and against fierce competition that is some achievement. :CLAP:

Perhaps its on every Aussie player & coach's bucket list to be linked with the Mighty Wire at some time in their careers .
Have we actually signed Holbrook ?

I’m not sure I buy this ‘King is the victim’ BS. He’s one of RL’s top earners and threw a hissy fit when he received an honest appraisal of his form from the coach. Then he got off the coach home one night after a bad day at the office when he was still on duty. ‘One team’ and all that…

Are we now wrapping players in cotton wool with a mug of cocoa, hoping that they’ll be nice and commit to their job once in a while?

I feel sorry for Holbrook already. No wonder Wane didn’t want the gig.

Report from Courier Mail in Aus says he has rejected us.






Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Sorry it’s the Aus Daily Telgraph behind a paywall

Charnley, Mulhern, Cooper (pre injury obvs), King (early season) all possibilities.

Mulhern is a massive step up from Dudson in any event.
