The former Newcastle and St George Illawarra coach has a very close relationship with Warriors owner Mark Robinson and chief executive Cameron George. Any decision to part ways is expected to be amicable.

Brown has been under pressure in recent weeks given his team’s recent poor form, slumping to five straight losses with their heavy defeat to Manly on Saturday night.

The Warriors now find themselves in 14th position with four wins from 13 games. Brown, who took over as coach last season, has been away from his family for almost two years. It’s the same sacrifice a lot of Warriors players have made in recent years.

The Warriors trained out of the Central Coast last year before relocating to Redcliffe in Queensland in 2022.

The likelihood of Brown and the Warriors parting ways at some point in the near future will add further intrigue to the coaching merry-go-round.

Trent Barrett was the first to lose his job this year, while Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire remains under pressure to get results at the club. There’s also concern brewing on the Gold Coast given Justin Holbrook’s inability to get the Titans firing.

Two premiership-winning coaches, Paul Green and Shane Flanagan, remain unemployed, while the likes of St Helens’ Kristian Woolf and Panthers assistant coach Cameron Ciraldo continue to be linked to clubs.
