BA to coach knights in 2026.

BA lives rent free in a few people's heads possibly mine, been told it's a close as done deal just goes to show the calibre of the man taking one of his best mates job, not being upfront with his mate.. Got all his yes men in now about to take the gig also having crocodile tears in the media letting it be known he wanted to come home! This is a new low from a human being.

  • Well JA is going there immediately, I reckon BA might be he's assistant if Obrien keeps he's job 

    • BA has an ego he won't be no one's assistant. 

  • BA will end up at Manly.

    He was well thought of over there.

    They've moved on Jake, Seibold is on the nose with the senior playing group. 
    I expect BA to be in charge on the North shore at the end of the year with Seibold given the flick after an upset loss to Souths.

    • I see this as more likely.

    • Apparently Seibold got his marching orders on Monday. Ennis to take the coaching job in 2026.

  • Is this actually official or just hearsay?🤣 Does BrissyEel still support the Dolphins or will he support the Knights if BA becomes their coach

    • Complete speculation. BA has made no secret he wants to come back to the NRL so the next coach to get the axe has the potential for BA to replace them.

  • Firstly, who cares...

    But secondly, both AOB and BA know that NRL coaching is a cutthroat business. You're only employed until you're not. There would be no issues if one of them replaced the other and just like BA at the Eels Newcastle's results are trending down under AOB lately so it's definitely time to move him on.

    I see zero ethical issues with it. If I was going to get "managed out" I'd be stoked if one of my mates and former mentors got my old job. Better it goes to someone I like and respect than someone I don't.

  • Yep he is a definitely in it for him and his family only BA.

    Shown it for years at Parra and yet most fans could not see it nor admit it...

    Thank Christ he's gone
