he will go with everyones support and thanks as long as he is upfront about his plans, unlike tony smith when he left

Think the line about the icelandic erruption is a cleverly planned smoke screen mesen

Time to ensure that Mr Baloo is signed up for a good few years.

That's the same story as on the other thread and it still has not one piece of evidence in it. Nathan Brown may well return to Australia in 2011 but enrolling his kids in school and renovating his house are not signs he will be doing. Given he will fly back to Australia at the end of the season, just like he did this year, only returning for pre-season training in the new year it makes sense he would not want his kids to miss 3 or 4 months of school nor he would want to move back into an unoccupied derelict house.

Unless and until they carry a quote from Mr Brown himself I'll keep the sackcloth and ashes in a cupboard for the moment.

Is that the end of the 2011 season? thought he was on a 3 year deal?

Apparantly he has a clause in his contract whereby he can leave after 2 years.

2 massive holes to fill with Hodgeson and Brown leaving, any rumours flying around who's replacing them?

leroy cudjoe , ready made full back...always the intention to fill bretts boots when he left... if the club dont want to go with cudjoe at full back then they have been names mentioned such as fitzpatrick (salford) and owen (cas) ..

as for brown leaving, speculation but nothing set in stone. id go for another aussie IF he left.

for now lets concentrate on this season!

Me too. Aussies coaches ahead of the game at the moment. Lots of good ones we could attract.

Billy Slater and Wayne Bennett

p.6 of todays RLE has a piece where Thewliss is denying Brown is leaving.

"Nathan is contracted until the end of 2011, and he said he would tell me if any approaches were made. His wife went on holiday prior to the Icelandic volcano erupting, and the airlines are currently asking ~£10k to fly back. So while she has been over there Tanya has put their kids into their old school.
There will always be speculation linking Nathan to clubs in Australia and it is somethign we have to get used to."

That's good news and great to hear. I guess we now have to put up with speculations like this!

The one thing about the speculation is that it may not do anything for the fans bllod pressure it puts us on the RL map. We are no longer seen as whipping boys, the press do not ignore us and we get positive publicity.

Other teams and fans covet our players and coaches and see us as genuine competitors.

We are going to have to get used to speculation like this and learn to thrive on it.

It's all well and good the MD coming out saying that but until the Nathan publicly announces he plans to go no where we will always have that fear factor.

would be really surprised to see him go so soon , he said he wanted to work with brough and had planned on bringing him in for the 2011 campaign . plus Huddersfield is such a garden of roses at the moment . if he was to go i hope you dont do what you normally do and try to get a replacement from Wakefield

kear would not be welcomed at hudds by 99% of the fans .. you can keep him

He's our cast off, not yours.

danny brough

i thought he did that club we are not allowed to talk about

No! Is he? Really?

Talk about bolt from the blue.

so`s mogg!
quelle belle sewerpreeze!

l think it would be a good idea, if you younger ones came up with a song aimed at Nathan ,to convince him how much he means to us, show him how much we care, and want him to stay. No?
