It’s all very well to say they need an experienced NRL coach but the ones available haven’t exactly got cracking resumes and the big guys are under lock and key.
Holbrook has a great record, is a calm character , has done a proper apprenticeship, is great mates with Robinson so no doubt would be picking his brains and would be in the best position to assess pommie talent if they go down that road. Canberra has shown informed UK recruitment works.
The salary cap in England is about a third of the NRL cap and has stagnated while ours has rocketed. You will see a lot more pommies heading our way if good enough.
It’s a tough situation but I think they’ve made the right choice.
