Adam O'Brien

It was surprising that he lasted so long as Newcastle coach.

But in saying that, his CV has to be pretty good for an assistant coach - an assistant under Bellamy and Robinson, along with 5 yrs as an NRL head coach.
 
Cmon guys this is why I had to get away from the Kennel already seeing "Sack Ciro" "Sack Gus" haha I dont reckon AOB is as bad as many are making out. Some people just aren't up to head coach, i think AOB will offer significantly more than Jim Dymock
As an assistant I'm sure he'd be great for us
 
Is it reported on any other thread that O'Brien is supposedly leaning towards going to the Bulldogs. That's why I never believe anything until something actually happens. As usual, if Gould wants someone, he'll get them. So if O'Brien does come to us, we'll be 2nd choice.
 

Bulldogs in talks with former Knights coach Adam O’Brien​


The Canterbury Bulldogs are in talks with former Newcastle coach Adam O’Brien about a role with the club next season.

Bulldogs officials met with O’Brien on Thursday to discuss the prospect of him becoming the club’s attack coach in 2026.
Jason Taylor, who currently coaches the Dogs’ attack, still has another year to run on his contract and is expected to move to a new role if O’Brien signs.

Manly have also shown interest in signing O’Brien as an assistant coach, but sources with knowledge of the situation talking on the condition of anonymity said O’Brien was leaning towards the Bulldogs.

O’Brien spent a decade working as an assistant to Craig Bellamy at Melbourne and a season under Trent Robinson at the Roosters before being head-hunted for the Knights’ top job as Nathan Brown’s successor.

The Bulldogs believe O’Brien’s experience and knowledge can boost an attack that came under fire for large parts of 2025.O’Brien has worked with Bulldogs Kurt Mann, Sitili Tupouniua and Enari Tuala, as well as new recruit Leo Thompson.

 
🤣🤣🤣 supporters losing their 💩 over us signing O'Brien and now a top 4 team wants him. If you were O'Brien where would you choose. Not this 🤡 🎪
