Blues far too good

NSW 6-0

kliene has shown his bias very early.

A great playing career means nothing. Coaching is a very different job. So he’s being trained by a competitor coach? OK, that may help to some extent bounce off some ideas, but it depends on the specifics. A good “man manager”? I have no idea what that means. There’s no harm in the team liking...

Apparently. I remember it well because it happened days after I posted here that because we were struggling with recruitment we should go down the path of identifying coaching talent within our playing group and promote a clear succession plan. Hire from within. I was as shocked as anyone when...

I’m not convinced Tim had Benji on his list. Benji had not just the ears of the board and CEO, he was walking on water, probably still is. I don’t know who wanted Tim to return, but it sure wasn’t the CEO, he showed that from day one. It just didn’t make sense, I mean kinda like buying a...

Agree, he would be crazy to sign for 6 years at that. At the same time you’d have to show some long term faith in Russian Oligarchs? We saw an airline crumble here in OZ.

Yes, Gus seems to have some very timely and productive “welfare checks” with players. However, the really big story is his use of his media contracts to play the oldest sales trick in the book. The up front boast, which gets the target’s interest, and begs the question ’tell me more.’

Yes good point Jolls. It was Gould who proclaimed on air that Galvin would become the highest paid player in NRL history. So how is it that he has signed for only $750k?

We just don’t have enough Richo’s to correct our trajectory. We are hopeful of winning this season’s spoon bowl. Round 27 at CBUS Stadium, should be a cracker.

He could still go to Eels. All that needs to be done is Dogs pull a Tigers stunt and sack Vella and/or Ciraldo soon after he signs. 😜

Conlon could kick a goal from anywhere. I remember David Brooks was solid defender, very reliable. Len Kileen was a no fuss kicker, with a twist of the heel he would place the pointy end in the hole and without a dance followed by positive affirmations, which seem to go on and on these days, he...

The Conlon try was a classic.

Yes Merv, Richo needed to table the offer not just threaten to do it. Then again, if he had, doesn’t that trigger an investigation by the NRL chasing an answer to the question “why does a player accept close to $2m less to break an existing contract?”

I think he’ll have a few games this year at 6, then depending on his progress, team dynamics, they move him to 7, then possibly 13 in about 3 seasons? I think he’s played his junior footy as a back rower, then in the halves when he captained Australian schoolboys? If he had stayed as a back...

Wow, that big huh? 😂 So, he's replacing Burton at 6? I guess we'll never know until it happens, but I'll be interested to see how it unfolds.

He’s got some ego, that’s for sure. Being annoyed to have to play second fiddle to Luai. Luai has played Origin, played at international level and is a 4 time premiership winner.

It’s $160,000 more than Tigers paid Eels for him in 2022. A profit not to be sneezed at. 😜
