Justin Holbrook becomes head coach of the struggling Newcastle Knights after previous success with the Titans.
Justin Holbrook's journey in the NRL coaching arena hasn't been straightforward. He is known for tackling challenging roles, and his latest assignment sees him stepping in as head coach for the Newcastle Knights, a team that recently finished at the bottom of the ladder-similar to his experience with the Titans after a successful tenure in the English Super League with St Helens.
Holbrook first took over the Titans in 2020 when they had just earned the wooden spoon in 2019 and were in a chaotic state. His leadership quickly turned things around, leading the team to finish 9th in the 2020 season, an impressive feat considering they lost their first three games and appeared headed for another disappointing season.
