SHOOSH IIII: Which former Test star and Fox Sports commentator met with Tigers coach Michael Maguire recently to discuss a coaching role?

Any ideas?

Gorden Tallis

Gasnier.

They said they won't renew his contract at fox.

No Gasnier please -the way he mangles the English language our back line would become the front line and the forwards would run backwards.

Blocker is no Elias
He loves the club and would be great for the forwards and might lift a guy like Packer

 

[balmain boy]

Why are people talking as if it's Blocker? We'd be getting someone much smarter than him and blocker will pop in for free whenever he's asked to rev up the big blokes

 

[happy_tiger]

Wonder what Cronk's role will be

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Matty Johns and blocker

Anyone but Blocker. He can’t even get half the names of the players right and hes STILL not ever the merger. Pretty sure he thinks it’s Balmain Tigers out there running around. The less involved he is the better

Really poor form. How about demonstrating respect for his achievements. If Maguire wants him in that is his decision.

I never said he didn’t have good achievements, great player in his day but if you’ve heard him commentate the bloke doesn’t understand modern footy and lives in the past, don’t think he’s suited for coaching at all.

In his day and modern footy? And if Maguire brings him on what does it say about your knowledge? I'd suggest many of the attributes of forwards of earlier eras are readily transferable today. Actually, I believe many of our forwards may have trouble adjusting to the earlier eras where players did not enjoy the protection afforded today by referees and the judiciary. Players also had to hold down full-time employment to survive. Demonstrate respect.

Saw some interesting comments from Wendell Sailor this morning. He said Latrell Mitchell is not a fullback, and Wests are better off without him.

We're building a strong team rather than splurging on one single risky star. Must say I agree.

I agree with Wendell and thought the same throughout the negotiations..

Blocker would be great for the club as forwards mentor

Lollll who could take that guys whiney voice serious.

No thanks

Wonder how much cash we have left for the final spot.


I saw someone elses working out came to $350K

99.9% J-Rey stood down next week.
Application for salary cap relief will be
lodged pending decision so 350k

I note with interest Josh Reynolds was at the members day yesterday ...posing for pictures with members..

I saw that too Geo, they must be
confident man. For the record I don't
wish him to be stood down,
was just discussing possibilities.

ln up the fight to clear the name of former NSW State of Origin star Josh Reynolds.

Margaret Cunneen, who gave evidence as a character witness for former Manly fullback Brett Stewart in 2010, will defend Reynolds, who is vigorously defending a domestic violence charge against his ex-partner.

Cuneen, the former Crown Prosecutor who has prosecuted some of the state’s worst sex offenders, including convicted rapists Mohammed and Bilal Skaf, is now a defence barrister.

Greenberg has the power to implement suspensions from playing NRL games, fines, or they could escape punishment altogether.

Reynolds is due to attend Sutherland Local Court on February 7 — this Friday — for mention, where his legal team, including Cuneen and solicitor Daniel McGirr, will attempt to expedite the hearing.

A backlog of cases has led to fears within Reynolds’ team that he could be forced to wait seven months before he has his day in court.

“The seven-month delay has real potential to ruin our client’s career,” McGirr wrote to the Sutherland Local Court registrar on December 19 last year.

“The NRL season begins at the start of March 2020, meaning if the NRL stands our client down, he will miss 19 of the prescribed 25 games, not including any representative games he may be selected for.

“Our client is a professional NRL footballer and is under heavy media scrutiny, even with reports today which seem to try to conduct a ‘trial by media’ approach to these matters.

“Our client has suffered significant reputational damage through the media and has been dropped from his ambassador role with White Ribbon, a charity championing the cause of domestic violence sufferers, based on these media reports.”

JOSH REYNOLDS

The case: Reynolds has entered a not guilty plea for a domestic violence charge after allegations in December he left bruising on ex-partner Arabella Del Busso’s right arm and left leg. His next court appearance is on Friday, February 7.

Possible fallout: Reynolds’ legal team are supremely confident the NRL star will be acquitted, but he could still face sanctioning from Todd Greenberg. Either way, Reynolds is vowing to fight this case until the very end.

He took to social media with a cryptic response to an unrelated video that emerged on social media channels last week, stating: “Truth. Always. Wins.”

Impact on club: With Robbie Farah retired and Jacob Liddle injured, Reynolds is being backed by coach Michael Maguire to start the season at hooker. But if Reynolds is sidelined by Todd Greenberg, it will leave the Tigers looking at Storm recruit and son of Kevin Walters, Billy Walters, to feature at dummy-half." - Via DT

Matt Johns is pretty respected as a halves coach. I remember he did a lot of work with Cronk.
