Message: [QUOTE="The Don, post: 3152666, member: 11393"] I wouldn't say I have looked deeply into Holbrook as per say. He came up on the forum as an option months before his signing and I must say he was always my favourite. I looked into St Helens fortunes before he was the coach and they seemed similar to the Titans in their previous circumstances. He turned them around very quickly and managed to get the best out of the players through tailoring game plans etc to individual strengths and giving specific players their roles surrounding this (This was said by a few ex NRL players in the team). In terms of his coaching career, I believe he had success in the NSW cup and NRL u20s before getting gigs as the Junior Kangaroos coach and assistant to Robinson at the Roosters. With his reputation as an extraordinary player manager, you could only see good things coming from his relationships with Junior Kangaroos. I believe it was a board consensus in the end. I don't know if i would necessarily say 'long search' as Garth was sacked pretty quickly, however I don't believe the Walker brothers were the right fit for a struggling club and Toovey seemed like a hope for the best sort of option. I couldn't tell you how the club got him/ analysed him though but I could see why he was the best option even back then. [/QUOTE]
