Yep, that's about the size of it.
Not quite :happy:.
I'm curious - are you basing your comments on experience from living/working in PNG or countries similar to it?
Speaking as someone who lived in Port Moresby for a while... Nowhere near enough. I don't think a lot of you blokes realise just what a dangerous place it is, and that's fair enough without having spent time working there.
I know, compounds, security guards, etc etc. Reality is that security...
It's a major lack at the moment. There is no one in the Broncos pack that any opposing player is actually scared of at the moment. Flegs was our best recently.
I get it - I do.
But the reality in 2024 is that we are part of a multi billion dollar results driven sporting business, and there is no place for that kind of sentiment. It's a professional sport now, no one is playing for the love of the game, $100 a win and free drinks that night at the...
I'd agree with that. Walsh doesn't lack the passion and drive - that was pretty obvious when he gave Oates a spray in that game. Reckon if a few others in the team had the same level of commitment it would go a long way.
So two complete rookie options and a bloke who made it clear when he started coaching QLD in origin that he wasn't interested in NRL coaching and has confirmed that numerous times over the last few years?
Why the **** would Billy Slater be the slightest bit interested? Just because people keep...
It's 2024 - I would be absolutely astounded if Lockyer didn't have as much chance to contribute as anyone else should it have been required of him, regardless of where he was.
Guaranteed he read a copy of the review and discussed it with the rest of the board before this went down. I'd expect...
Pretty cooked sort of a take from Heals.
Michael Collins did the review, not the board. Lockyer, even if he was there would have had zero input.
Some of the blame shifting in this forum is next level. Kevvie got everything he asked for, even to the point of getting Ikin punted. Not the board...
Hang on - didn't they let Ikin go exactly because he was a strong football manager and Kevvie felt threatened?
Kev's been given everything he wanted - while I don't have much time for Morris & co on the board, trying to hang this on them is a bit much. What was the last rubbish decision they...
Very well written summary @Big Pete - takes the emotion out of it.
Kev is a great fella but he's peaked. Maguire really is the only option - speculation about Slater or anyone else is just fever dreams. They are not going to go for someone like Holbrook or another rookie.
Had to laugh at this bit in a SMH article about Mam.
"Walshy is the most popular. Pretty Riki [Jordan Riki] is also popular, as is ‘Jesus’, who is better known as Pat Carrigan. I love these boys. A win on Sunday would mean everything.
“And, yes, I’m sure, I’ll find a space for another tatt.”
FMD, that will do me. When we were lucky to get past where the Ptb was a lot of the time because of the roosters players being up already.... You hardly see any proper angles on the broadcast but if any team was offside all game it was them.
