Yep, going to be a long night. At least they got one try.

@higgins the score. Although I wouldn’t mind seeing the Tongans dish out some biff on DCE
So Aussie get to take two conversions, the second from in front, because of a bit of accidental contact with the try scorers head, yet they never penalise a head high tackle, what the actual fuck?

The tactic of leading with your feet to stop a try being scored is grubby as fuck, I'm pretty comfortable with them stamping that shit out. But as you say, absolutely no consistency in League given the shit they let go.

It would have been fair enough if the guy was doing that, but it was just basically bad timing, ran into the guy and tripped over him. Completely accidental.

@mimic Haven't seen anything about it but will probably pop up in the MSM at some point.
Des Hasler has returned to coach Manly in 2019.
Hasler returns to Sea Eagles as coach
Manly Sea Eagles prodigal son Des Hasler has returned, signing a three-year deal with the club he guided to two premierships in his first stint at the helm.

The DJ at the game claims that an official in the production room said "dance monkey dance" when they put up the dance cam of the crowd.
There were other comments of casual racism in the production room, but it was "dance monkey dance" that set him off.
Ah ok.I hadn't heard anything about it.

I don't understand coaching appointments in the NRL. Is there a union you join that means you are always in line for a job?
Seibold has had 1 year in charge of the Bunnies, but looks set to sign for Brisbane from 2020. Souths are then going to make a massive mistake and hire Bennett. Word is that swap might even come forward a year.
This comes a couple of days after Manly went back to their ex in Des Hasler. Best part is, contractually, Manly currently has two head coaches.

Ivan Cleary is also going back to his ex Phil Gould at Penrith while the Kiwis coach is about to join Wests.
Maguire agrees to coach Tigers, Cleary to join Panthers
Michael Maguire has agreed to terms on a three-year deal to return to the NRL coaching ranks with the Wests Tigers.

@mariner4life It appears to be the same in rugby. For some reason as soon as you crack the big time, you now have the resume to say you have the experience.
The question is how no one interviewing them appears to be able to ask the rhetorical question; so why were you shit in your other jobs?

So according to the Ferald, the Warriors are in no hurry to sign Johnson after next year ( contract expires 2019)
Looks they have finally wised up to the fact he’s not worth $1m + per season. -

Looks they have finally wised up to the fact he’s not worth $1m + per season.They'll probably resign him next week tbh. It confirms what we knew through the Isaac Luke and Jazz Tevaga resignings, the Warriors are obviously close to the salary cap limit for the next few seasons so need to sort out their middle of the pack contracts before focusing on someone like Shaun Johnson. It helps them that several key playmakers will be available come Nov 1. If they were to lose Johnson than Te Maire Martin should be their next target.
