NRL 2019

@mariner4life crazy how many coaches are on a knife edge. Is it a reflection on the current stable of talent, or all about coaching quality? It does feel like we've got a lot more young and raw talent knocking about, and some massive talents have retired over the last few years.
Would be interesting to see some kind of analysis of player ratings versus contract $ to see if guys are earning more now, whereas a few years back they might not have quite as much earning potential. Thinking about that broadly as opposed to just the marque positions that always demand massive $$ if you've got the goods.
NRL, never a dull moment!!!

wait, shit! First casualty is Phil Gould, whose 5 year plan hasn't resulted in tangible on-field success in 8 years. Has fired some people though. And then re-hired them.
The best thing to happen to the Panthers. Gould's ego destroys anything he controls and he gets way too much love from his boys in the Sydney media.

You'll forgive Cleary for anything

If he got rid of Gould they should give him an Aussie knighthood (if they have such things over there).

I get that a coach will always have a favourite in their team but this Kata-strophe has to end. He's terrible. Also the ANZAC game should be rotated between Auckland and Melbourne.

Sadly not on form but for injury.

That guy is seriously overrated. His premierships were won by sides basically handed to him. His NSW teams were absolutely stacked but he still managed to get whitewashed by Fatty's rabble. And wtf has been going on with Penrith? Sack coach, sack successor, rehire originally sacked coach. His so-called genius is incredibly well hidden.

Luke took a head knock and is undergoing HIA, the (almost) starless Warriors lead 8-4 at the half. Still plenty of time for us to stuff this up

Warriors lose by 1 point despite a valiant effort. We were totally stitched up, with the Storm holding our runners down in the play of the ball all night. Every time we do it we get pinged, including a storm player knocking the ball on in the play and they get a penalty in front to the the game. Totally got hosed, NRL is a mug's game where the warriors are concerned. Hiku was immense, as was Maumolo and Harris. Our 21 was everywhere on defence, an awesome effort from a team decimated by injuries. The effort really deserved more
