Has the CEO of Newcastle let slip St Helens new trainer? Plus Manly dealt a enormous blow. Jenna Brooks has the most recent from the NRL.
Woolf the man
It appears like it is only a matter of time before Kristian Woolf is declared trainer is headed by St Helens.
The Knights assistant, who was created interim coach of Newcastle later Nathan Brown has been connected to replace Justin Holbrook in St Helens for some time now.
In the wake of Adam O’Brien being called Newcastle head coach for next season, the Knights have had to deny the club had approached O’Brien initial, which was Brown quit.
In defending the clubNewcastle CEO Philip Gardner might have accidentally let the’cat out of the bag’.
“We had a pre-work done since we’d St Helens in the club for the past three-four weeks imagining all our coaches using an opinion that one of them are leaving, going to St Helens,” Gardner said.
On Friday night Eamonn McManus told me they’d announce their head trainer in the next week or so for 2020.
Maybe that announcement will now come earlier…
O’Brien confirmed
As expected, will replace Nathan Brown as head coach as I mentioned previously Adam O’Brien.
The Sydney Roosters assistant coach will take control of the Knights for the next three seasons, beginning in 2020.
“The Knights are a powerful club with a substantial and enthusiastic supporter base through the Hunter area and outside,” O’Brien explained.
“They have equilibrium off the field via the Wests Group and a wealthy nursery of talent”
The Knights CEO Gardner commended O’Brien’s experience and stated the club are eager have him.
“Apart from quality training, we need quality individuals within the organisation and Adam ticks all those boxes.”
O’Brien and his new team for pre-season before 2020 will join.
Former Leeds head coach David Furner, interviewed for the job, and is in line to be called helper, but O’Brien was given the final say.
Former Hull KR head coach Tim Sheens has been connected with a technical manager role.
Manly blow
Only a game of the finals, Manly have been dealt an blow at the weekend.
Star full-back Tom Trbojevic tore his leg during Manly’s loss to Melbourne and will have surgery.
Trbojevic is currently confronting at least 10 weeks to the sidelines, which rules him out of duties with Australia at the World Nines, as well as Tests against Tonga and New Zealand.
“Clearly this is very tough to take, particularly during that time of year. However, there was not any point trying to become a fanatic and risking my entire body,” Trbojevic told 9News.
“It was explained to me it was very good to perform operation early to find the very best recovery for my entire physique. That’s what I have resolved to doso”
The Sea Eagles, who are fifth on the ladder,’ve secured a finals berth, but will have to finish without the 22-year old.
Hamstring problems have restricted Trbojevic to only 12 looks for Manly with the club winning 10 of these games.
Manly take on Parramatta dwell on Sky Sports. A win will see them leapfrog South Sydney into a fourth-place complete.
Manly fan
Trbojevic is not the only reason. A Sea Eagles fan lashed out during Saturday’s encounter at the Will Chambers of Melbourne.
The NRL integrity unit has started an investigation into the incident that saw a guy wearing a Manly jersey, then poke his arm by means of a gap from the players’ tunnel and touch Chambers, that had been leaving the area.
Melbourne have confirmed they wish to move on in the episode and the guy has not been billed with NSW Police, but will probably be handed a ban from the NRL.
Seasons end
Melbourne beat Manly 36-6 to clinch a minor premiership in four years. Despite one match to go in the regular season, reigning premiers – the Sydney Roosters have secured place.
Canberra sponsor New Zealand Warriors on Saturday and success will see them stable third. However, success for South Sydney against the Roosters and defeat for the Raiders will watch the Raiders fourth and the Rabbitohs finish third.
The winners between Parramatta and Manly will complete fifth. They will guarantee seventh, however with defeat eighth if Brisbane can beat the Bulldogs.
That leaves only one particular place undecided and it could not have worked as the two teams vying for Wests Tigers and Cronulla, play on each other .
The winners of that game hit the finals. It’s 1 game not to be missed, thus place your alarms since it’s live on Sky Sports at 5am.
