‘No quick fix’ to Coast issues

-

“I don’t feel any more pressure than any other NRL coach, apart from maybe Craig Bellamy (Melbourne super coach) and Trent Robinson (Roosters’ premiershi­p winner). I’m lucky to have an NRL coaching job.

“I can’t be worried about my future. If I worry about that, I’m not focused on the job.”

In his second campaign as an NRL coach, Brennan is adamant he needs time to regenerate a Titans club that has made the finals just once in the past eight seasons.

“I’m not doubting myself or questionin­g the path that I am on. You can’t get a quick fix,” he said.

“I think the owners (Rebecca Frizelle and Darryl Kelly) understand that it does take a lot of time to get your roster right and your style of play and culture embedded in the team.

“It is hard to judge a coach on one or two years, sometimes it takes longer to get a belief in the roster and the structures you want to bring in. They were aware of that. They understood that. That was why the faith was shown. I wasn’t walking into a finished product.”
