‘I didn’t want to be a distraction’: O’Brien to depart Knights…
Adam O’Brien will seek an assistant coach’s role after revealing he first began to realise his time in Newcastle may be up after Warriors forward Leka Halasima snatched victory in the final minute of their Round 20 clash.
The 20-15 defeat at Go Media Stadium deflated O’Brien and the Knights players, and he admitted he hasn’t been able to pump them up again as they crashed to heavy losses against the Raiders, Panthers, Cowboys.
