What do the Gold Coast bring?

[dogslife]

Yes blame a city for inept management of an NRL club

Inept management of that club and every single sporting franchise that has ever existed there. The Gold Coast is a graveyard, where weary grey nomads from the south, and sporting teams alike go to die.

Burleigh down to Coolangatta real nice, would live there if I could, although Sunshine Coast is my first choice....

The Gold Coast is absolutely beautiful. It’s just surfers and Broadbeach with the nightclubs and shit. Everywhere else is wonderful.

He is a similar body mould to cotter as a prop. Shows how much of a badass Reuben really is

He was about half as quick as Cotter. He had the build and athleticism of an AFL player; that is why he wasn’t any good

That multi last week in the game day thread was giving me a heart attack.

They bring more Queensland derbies and maintain a Rugby League presence in a city that's full of Victorian expats.

 

[Generalzod]

Bring a holiday culture…lol

They bring bigger crowds than a handful of Sydney clubs whilst simultaneously being shit for years.

They bring a stadium better than most in the league.

Juniors are also at very healthy levels on the gold Coast including a couple of the best RL schools.

Hiring a coach then instantly looking for his replacement shows how useless the merkins running the place are.

In their defence this is just Bellamy's agent making sure Melb cough up more $$ to retain him.

He's used the Broncos in the past for this tactic but it's not really on the table this time.

Are we sure there are truth to these rumours? If just add that if there was a genuine chance of attracting Bellamy to the club they would be crazy not to jump on that. IMO coaches are the most valuable commodity in the NRL (yes more so than halves or anything else). Getting someone like Bellamy to your club is the sort of thing that can be a game changer for your club.

The NRL should tell Gould he is banned from commentary unless he goes and takes the GM job for the Titans. That is the only good Gould can do now.

I mean if Bellamy does decide to leave the Storm, the reality is there would be very few clubs not chasing him, regardless of how many years they've signed their current coach for.

If this clause does exist, at least Hannay is protected in that he will retain a coaching role at the club at his current pay in the very slim chance that Bellamy decides to leave the Storm, go to the Gold Coast and decide to be a head coach versus more of a head of football.
