| Looks like he was sacked as his comments in the Examiner this morning said he had no intention of walking away.
I have to say that i feel he has squandered the opportunity that was given to him by Ken Davy and i feel that after his first season we have gone backwards ever since.
Without this change i really think that fans unhappiness would have increased.
Anderson now left in a very difficult position but i feel that he needs to make a statement and i hope it is Danny Brough as new Captain.
Everyone needs to get behind the team now.
Let us try to salvage something this season and hope that Ken is not as demoralised as most supporters.

| For the best really, Nathan proved to be a very good technician in improving individuals, appartantly a lovely fella but ultimately not a leader and he tended to flap when plan A wasn't working.
Years 1 & 2 of his tenure were pretty good overall, 3 & 4 less so.
There have though been good moments each season, but despite his comments on our less talented Roster, we actually have a team full of quality, if lacking a bit of size. Oh for a couple of props!

Nope, why should it be? Nathan Brown's own comments make it clear he had lost the confidence of the players, he did something similar at StGeorge so that is not a "Giants only" issue.
The truth is NB is probably a very good coach for a couple of seasons, because he was good initially we kept him too long.
To those of us that watch the Giants regularly it was blindingly obvious that the "systems used" were significantly better than recent weeks. Nathan then blamed an obvious improvement as the reason we lost.
If I were a cynic I would question if he was trying to get sacked!

| Actually Balloo has no preassure
Form shot, confidence shot all he has to do is improve
And Christ knows that won't be hard to do

| It's a shame that it came to this with how the season started off, but really should have gone after the debacle at Castleford and given Paul Anderson the opportunity to get a response from the players for the Semi-final.
Would now like to see Kieron Purtill installed as assistant for the rest of the season also.

| Very sad news. He has been fantastic for the club. It may be the right time, but I am unhappy with a number of players roles in this!

| I'm with Code 13 although I think it's about 2 seasons too late in getting rid. I only want people at the Giants who WANT to be at the Giants.
Not some half hearted Aussie who's head was turned every time a sniff of a job in Oz came up.
Couple of seasons ago Baloo could have gone to the Bulls, he chose to stay with us and develop as a coach, glad we har seen sense and given him the job with an all BRITISH coaching team.
Time now to assess who is good enough to wear the famous shirt and who is just taking up cap space, sorry but there can be no sentiment and there are a few who need to be replaced.
Class Standoff and big nasty hard prop is a must as is keeping Broughy an making him captain, he leads by example week in week out and that's the standard everyone needs to attain to.
To summarise but later than would of liked but glad to get shut, lots say he improved us but 90% of the folk that post on here could have improved us spending the money and with the players he has had. Just need to pick players in correct positions.
Good Luck Baloo and hope you can show what can be achieved.

Agree with that, he should of gone earlier, and do not think the fans will be overly harsh on PA, what he's got to do is get us playing as a group, make the playoffs. I don't think fans expect us to rip up trees after the last 2 months, but put some pride back in wearing the shirt.
