Elliott Smith: Under-fire Warriors coach Nathan Brown could quit club - reports

The misfiring Warriors are set for another significant blow amid reports coach Nathan Brown could quit the NRL club as early as today.According to The Daily Telegraph, Brown is on the verge of resigning despite having another year left on his contract after telling the club he won't relocate to Auckland permanently.The 48-year-old lives in Australia, where the Warriors have been based for the past two seasons due to earlier Covid-enforced travel restrictions between the two countries.The Warriors are expected to return to New Zealand in two weeks for their first home game since August 2019. Brown's current deal expires at the end of 2023.The Daily Telegraph reports Brown has called an emergency meeting with Warriors owner Mark Robinson and CEO Cameron George at 11am today.The newspaper reports assistant coach and Kiwis great Stacey Jones is in line to take over as a replacement.If Jones takes over he would become the Warriors' fourth coach in three years.Brown, who took over from Todd Payten last year, has endured a nightmare run as head coach this season with the team slumping to a fifth straight defeat with their 44-12 to the Sea Eagles at the weekend.The club is currently languishing in 14th place on the table, with only four victories in 13 games.The Warriors have a 35.4 percent winning record under Brown but all of those games have been played in Australia. He didn't exactly bring a winning pedigree to the role. He was fired by the Newcastle Knights, with a 26 percent winning record, near the end of the 2019 season after also going through a five-game losing streak.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
