Didnt the Nrwcastle coach try and come to the Tigers?

Yes and Benji said No

Computer Says No

 

[You Know Who]

Oh think you will find he tried to come here

Yep in 2023, there were rumors of bringing him in as an assistant or even head coach for 2024.

 

[Don Kershane]

Double demerits bonanza on the M1 next week..

I think he ended up choosing to go to the roosters as assistant...dont blame him

Holbrook was never the problem at the Titans I guess

he was so close to getting them to week 2 of the finals if it wasn’t for Patrick Herbert, and the club has been on the slide since they sacked him so I think the issues are deeper

The squad was pretty average too from memory

Best they’ve done since he’s left

I tipped Penrith but I'm not mad at that result.
The era is over.

Penrith haven't made a GF since Luai left, just sayin'

Didn't work out to be our lucky charm.

Makes you wonder if he visited PNG in 2025 and bought a curse back with him.

if he plays 6 today for them they probably win

Just saying what?
Fish left as well. So did Turuva and Peachey.

They’ve replaced most haven’t landed on a 6 Ivan said that himself

Penrith need Luai to win, Luai needs Penrith to win lol

Easily the best game of the finals as far as atmosphere went
Wasn't the greatest game as in skills or creativity went , a lot of dropped ball , particularly in the 2nd half
A question I will ask but am guessing we will never know the answer
How much did Nathan's injury affect Ivan's decision making in the 2nd half
I thought tactically Penrith were shocking in the 2nd half , it didn't help with their poor completion rate , but they didn't play footy conducive to beating a 12 man side

 

[happy_tiger]

Penrith need Luai to win, Luai needs Penrith to win lol

I think they lost James Fisher Harris the same year , slightly bigger loss 😆

One team’s trash is another team’s treasure I guess lol.

Next year

 

[Wezt]

Honestly if Luai was still at Penrith the last two years I reckon they win both those comps

That’s how bad Talagi/Cogger have been.
