The trouble at North: why club chiefs should be nervous

Nor can it be of much comfort to club chief executive Ben Amarfio that he is nominally working alongside the veteran administrator in attempting to make sense of the Kangaroos’ dysfunctional football operation.

It won’t take Walsh long to understand that North is a club divided. To be brutal, the Kangaroos have never really recovered from the forced retirements of 2016 - and Walsh played a big part there - when a devastated Brent Harvey led a quartet of experienced teammates out the door. Roos was a key player in Noble’s appointment but as the struggling coach works to build a relationship with and improve the performances of his disenchanted players the retired premiership coach who helped deliver him is rarely a physical presence at the club.So, Walsh will walk into his old club on Monday to observe a coach with whom he has no relationship and who did not see him coming.

Walsh’s return to North in a third reincarnation - he first joined the club almost three decades ago - might well be brief. He heads overseas at the start of August but could return by the start of September should he be required to help oversee the change that seems inevitable.
