NRL Grand Final 2012: BROWNIE - Storm execute under pressure
1 Oct 2012Whilst it’s undeniable that both Des Hasler and Craig Bellamy are two of the smartest coaches in the NRL, it was the Melbourne Storm who better managed to execute their game plan in the often-emotional atmosphere of last night’s NRL decider. In an exciting first half, the Storm time and time again managed to take [...]
BROWNIE: The Storm to rain on the Bulldogs parade
30 Sep 2012It’s great to see the teams that ran first and second in the premiership are now playing in the Grand Final.

I just can’t see a team from outside of the four making a serious bid for the title. The exception, perhaps, are North Queensland, who have the dynamic [...]
BROWNIE: Experience counts for everything in coaching
23 Aug 2012It’s been an interesting week in NRL coaching circles, with one coach given the shove from his club and another given the reigns of the NSW team without having coached at club level yet. I feel sorry for Brian ‘Bluey’ McClennan. He’s a better coach than this season at the Warriors has suggested and his [...]
