Nrl: 2017

[Captain Nemo]

Good to see the Broncos get another Friday night prime time home game with an 8 day break, against a team that played on Sunday and has to travel.

NRL wouldn't want to upset the QRL would they...

[PeteyD]

The club is still a basket case. No ticker hardly explains it.

Yes it is, isn't it?

It's not the QRL that would be upset, it's channel 9. If other teams want to lock in more Friday night games they should get themselves more supporters.

[PeteyD]

And Goneski. Andrew Webster goes from assistant to interim head coach.

[3Puttpete]

3 rounds in and they've sacked the coach?

I'd hazard a guess the coach isn't what's wrong with that footy club.

[TheNuclearOne]

Robbie might be having a quiet chuckle. I may have this wrong, but it seems the same players he supported via his treatment of Robbie may have stabbed him in the back?

[WBennett]

Words can not express how bad the Tigers were yesterday.

Lucky the Raiders were asleep for the first 20-odd minutes - they should have put 70 on.

Sounds like the tickerless big 4 wouldnt re sign unless he went?Maybe they should have a dig instead of whinging.

[PeteyD]

Not like a player to dictate to the club who should be coaching ....

He should have gone after last year. But as I said before the club is still a basket case. Interest in NRL is already gone for me for this year.

I did hear that on the radio Saturday. From what i've read Taylo may have gotten rid of Robbie to appease said players and others. The club looked strong before the season started, the've got a decent roster. Be interesting to see what happens now, no reason they can't put it together a bit?

[3oneday]

Big 4 getting smacked by 70 odd in two games? Gun players, not.

I guess you back them to win next week. Where to for JT. England?

[jimandr]

Tedesco is a gun, and the main reason you want to keep him is so you don't have to play against him.

Brooks and Moses are good players, but well short of gun status. You wouldn't be afraid of playing against either.

Woods is also a good player, but he is no better than another 20 forwards in the game. I don't think Qld think about him as a threat in Origin.

Taylor is dead as a coach, and possibly even as an employee in the game. He has shown he doesn't have man management skills, and without that, whatever other qualities he possesses mean nothing. He'll probably coach Manly next year, or maybe even later this year. There is always someone in the backroom who likes guys like him.

[KristianJ]

If anything, the best case for him is that he'll end up like Steve Price, be an assistant coach and all we ever see of him is running water during games.

[PerryGroves]

So the four guys coming off contract wouldn't sign if JT was coach. Fair play to them, in every negotiation regardless of which side you need to know who has the power. The clubs management have put themselves in a position where this is possible on top of the Robbie fiasco last year.

Would suggest if they want Ivan Cleary, he won't accept BS from a useless board and management.

As a Manly supporter, I'd love to have Tedesco (but don't need him), the halves, no and Aaron Woods is the most over rated player since the great Braith was plying his trade.

[WBennett]

Good to see the NRL cracking down on clubs failing players in their duty of care with concussions with $350k in fines for clubs.

The next crackdown should be related to the actions that cause concussions - the souths bloke with the swinging arm - should have been sent off. Burgess throwing the elbow - should have been sent off.

It is a contact sport, and head clashes and accidental contact will occur, but any action that is deliberate or careless that attacks the head of an opponent should be an immediate send off, and the bunker should step in to ensure the right decision is made on the day.

[3oneday]

350k suspended sentences? Guaranteed no one will ever be fined that. Nrl are always big on the talk.

[Captain Nemo]

Thought it was $35k

[PeteyD]

50k per incident I think.

[MAZA68]

Do the NRL still run/own then Titans, therefore they are fining themselves?

[Captain Nemo]

Lol, yep!

[PeteyD]

And the Knights.

Such a cluster****.

Rumours that Jason Taumalolo is going to sign a 10 year contract @ 1m a year with the Cowboys.
