Apparently Trent Barrett has finally decided to quit as coach of Manly after months of threatening to quit. Geoff Toovey is shaping up as the likely replacement (they probably should have never fired him to begin with).

Not often that the coach decided he's had enough of a dumpster fire, and decides to walk.
I look forward to spittle-flecked press conferences and investigations

I find the Wayne Bennett being a bitch at Brisbane to be more fun actually. He wants two more years, the Board don't want to give it to him, so he is having a sulk (not that you could tell, the sour old bastard always looks like that). The Broncos look a mile from winning the comp, even with their cushy draw of 7 and 8 day turnarounds playing Thursday and Friday nights every week. Why would you renew, because of what he did 30 years ago?

There should be an investigation!

But I'm a great coach! Hard to lose with the only team in Queensland ffs.

They should do coaching merry-go-round. So Griffin back to Brisbane and Bennett to Manly for a change of scenery and Barrett and Toovey to fight over who gets to be told what to do by Gould.

There is still MacGuire and Hasler sniffing around for jobs as well.

Ah fuck! Well hopefully there's some late season sackings to create opportunities.

The Wests Tigers dropped their game against St George 20-10 so that means if the Warriors get a win today against the Bulldogs they confirm a spot in the NRL playoffs (Wests can only get to 28 points now if they win out). The Warriors are going with the same side that won against Newcastle last week.

Why do I want the Warriors to win but then take perverse pleasure in them losing? I think it's the fan base ... not you sneak but the "keep the faith, we're bigger the the All Blacks, logue us the greatest game of all" mob, and the disproportionate coverage they get.
Anyways pops. And take that. At the same time.

Gutted we lost but I still thought we were decent.
Blake’s 5th tackle kick that the Bulldogs took on the full in the ingoal was a coach killer.

Gee thanks for the somewhat backhanded compliment. Just PM me your family address so I can send you that thank you bomb you've been so wanting.

Don't want to watch the replay (even though it was a good game) but can't remember that one. The real coach killer was Kata's poor defence at the end of the second half which led to a Bulldogs try. I'm struggling to see what Kearney thinks Kata can become, especially when Hiku and Beale are probably our best centre combo.
