Shaun Johnson's new team is still yet to decide its new coach after the old one resigned last week. Looks like it will be interim HC John Morris and he will have one season to prove his worth. Harsh.
I thought this had been rubber-stamped, and it was Morris?

Now it is but the Sharks were interested in the Panthers assistant coach who served as interim HC last season.

The North Queensland Cowboys' tribute video for Ben Barba will be short - just be the CCTV footage of him assaulting his missus in deepest, darkest Queensland.
Just had his contract terminated by the club so the Cowboys are looking for a fullback (or just sticking Kyle Feldt in the number one jumper).

@Sneakdefreak kick the useless prick out and never let him put a jersey on again. Wife beaters are up there with paedophiles in my book. What a waste of talent. Fucking loser

@chchfanatic Are you sure he couldn't join another franchise as part of a rehabilitation program?

@Tim would you want him playing for your club. Imagine what message that sends to the female members of the club. I say go and get a real job mate.
I suspect you missed the sarcasm in @Tim ’s post....

Or Tim is the recruitment manager for the NSW Waratahs and is just testing public opinion....

He looks after other players wives better doesn’t he...

@Virgil ha ha yuuus I managed to get in before @MN5 to commend you for that fucking savage zinger.
I was busy watching a movie. Please see my review in the other thread.

So Jenna Price writing in the SMH asks a question that no one else would bother with. Namely asking what the organisation is going to do for the family after it sacks an employee. Another excellent example of the utter lack of personal responsibility inherent in modern life.
My question for rugby league is this: when you take back a genius player with a history of alleged violence and drugs, how much coaching and support do you provide him and his family? And when it all goes horribly wrong, what did you have in place beyond dumping Barba and dumping his entire family? These men need coaching off the field as well as on because they are examples to all of us.
I don't know about this silly clown, but I didn't need a league player to teach me I shouldn't hit women, nor that there may be consequences to my actions.

@Siam my experience tells me the woman who gets hit for no reason is a very rare beast. Almost a unicorn.

@Crazy-Horse yeah mate.
Every small, mostly defense compromised human in the world must conduct themselves in such a manner to avoid physical violence from larger, more physically capable others.Physical violence will always be present in humans no matter how hard we wish it away.
Everyone on here has a memory of reducing a potentially violent situation, yet the narrative states that women are somehow exempt from this fact of life.
Everyone on here has a memory of a physically disadvantaged person, including women, baiting someone in a dangerous situation, and thought "Fuck lady, just shut your mouth or you're going to get hit"
Matter of fact I saw such an incident today where old mate was furious and a woman was holding a baby all the while not retreating. I watched to see if the kid was in danger and while the bloke was being a Dick, the woman was holding a baby definitely putting the kid in unnecessary harm.
I take your word, random arse kickings are actually very rare.

@Nepia deadly serious.
How many incidences of domestic violence do you genuinely know the details of? Everything that happened and was said an hour before skin contact?
Don't make me ennunciate all the nuances of this domestic violence issue, yes it happens, yes it's bad, yes it used to be way worse, yada yada 😉
Honestly think about the narrative. Heaps of blokes just randomly smashing chicks because they're angry at some thing and, shit, that's what men do innit?
What EXACTLY happens the hour before the bloke does a shameful thing?
A policeman reckons no provocation is unicorn rare.
Take 7 minutes because Bill Burr above explains this point of view better than I.
Apologies if I've misread your post. Oh well that's my opinion on the vast majority of relationship violence
-
Dunno lads. Yes, I'm sure there are multiple situations where a situation spiraled out of control and the perpetrator was continuously provoked and needled until they lost the plot.
However, I'm also sure that, unfortunately, Jake the Muss' types do exist and sometimes, nobody needs to do anything other than the perpetrator have a Double Brown.

Regardless of your point of view, there are 4 kids here who are now without an income source to cloth, feed and educate them. What did they do to deserve this? The same"machine" that put that source in their priveleged position, hence looking after the kids, is now going to deprive them of this.
What did they do to deserve that?

@MajorRage it's been a while since I have watched it, but even Jake the Muss was provoked. The movie was used in DV training when I was at the academy. It supported a popular narrative at the time that women would often provoke their violent partners on purpose when they sensed the violent part of the Domestic Violence cycle was approaching. This was said to happen because the females wanted the violence done and dusted and the cycle can then return to the regret/peaceful stage.
