    Agree, think he will break in the first tackle, especially with his history of head knocks. For me probably the smartest hooker in the NRL but not built for Origin

    well, if the reports are to be believed, you can close the book for first coach sacked, as Demetriou is getting his marching orders this weekend.

    Talk of the town is getting old man Wayne back. How did you end up here in the first place Bunnies? Every single club Wayne coaches at, the next coach gets sacked because they suck.

    Guys that should also be in the gun are Brad Arthur at the Eels, who has been at the Eels for a decade and won fuck all, and probably Des Hasler, who has performed a miracle and made the Titans worse.

    I wonder if Trent Robinson will start getting heat from the Roosters board?

    On the Warriors, we're 3-2, and it doesn't take much in the way of mental gymnastics to see we could be 5-0. We really should have beaten Cronulla, and paid the price for not putting them away with the million chances we created. Melbourne needed a miracle try that will be shown in highlights for years to come to beat us with time up.

    Defensively we are as good as anyone, but we just don't put on enough points to put teams away when we are on top.
    Like anyone else, we are hugely reliant on our best players, and this all unravels if SJ goes down, or when Egan gets hurt next.
    But we look genuine top 4 material (especially this year when know one knows who is good yet).

    Charnze made a big difference, another strong guy who can run through the channel. TMM also had a great game

    Hes playing great and it would be an honour. But for selfish reasons I hope he doesn't get picked...

    🤣 to think it was possible

    Wayne is looking for a team, but I doubt its Souths, internally they have always wanted Burgess, I just don't think he would be free of commitments just yet. Potentially both maybe?

    I think Brad Arthur, still probably ok, but if they continue to go backwards without Moses then Im sure they will come after him. Problem is no good coaches free, unless they also make a play for Wayne

    So, Michael Jennings. How do we feel?

    300 games this weekend. 41st player to do it. Tradition is, you get the game ball presented to you, generally by the CEO.

    The NRL has, after media pressure, come out and said that won't happen this weekend.

    And why? Well, because by all accounts Michael is a bit of a shit bloke. He's coming back from a drugs ban. Then he lost a civil case where it was found he, on multiple occasions, sexually assaulted his former partner, and was ordered to pay her a sizeable sum. An amount i believe he has not even begun to pay back. Note, no criminal charges, civil only.

    Despite all this, the NRL signed off on re-registering Jennings, and let him join the Roosters.

    And so, we come to this weekend, and the NRL's decision. Should this bloke be "honoured"? well, no, it appears he's a bit of a shit bloke. BUT, if the NRL think he's "clean" enough to get re-registered with their organisation, surely he is "clean" enough to be treated like everyone else?

    IMO he should never have been given another contract (willing to admit i don't know how this would go in court given the lack of criminal charges). And i can understand the NRL CEO not wanting to be seen to be handing this bloke a game ball. The Roosters and Jennings say they are okay with this, but that is PR in full spin. I just feel, if you took the step to re-register the bloke, then this actually makes you look weak.

    The NRL has a history of forgiving shit fluffybunnies. Interesting that they stopped with Jennings in this fashion

    @mariner4life I dont think he should have been re-registered either and I also think the Roosters should be copping flack even for asking.

    I'm ok giving people a second chance, especially if he was trying to make amends and he was able to demonstrate this through different channels..

    but when he is not even doing this...

    @mariner4life Yeah, I think you don't re-register him if you don't want to give him the award every other player gets for reaching the milestone.

    Have they what ?

    Names like Craig Gower and Todd Carney spring to mind.

    There’ll probably be someone waiting for Jarrod Hayne at the prison gates with a contract in hand when he gets released.

    Debatable. Groping teenagers, holding a knife to someone’s throat ( Gower ) and almost going to jail for multiple drunk driving offences ( Carney ) are hardly playful……

    Crashing a Golf Cart ( Gower ) is quite amusing though. Apparently he had to pay 10 grand for that haha. Also pissing on someone ( Carney ) makes me laugh a bit.

    Todd Carney's history of trouble

    Todd Carney's NRL career has been littered with off-field indiscretions but the latest may have ended his career.

    @bayimports Was it him or his brother that I saw as an assistant coach to Des Hasler?

    Would struggle to take him seriously if it was Joel haha.
