As I have stated a number of times, thank god for Parra and the injury ravaged Tigers (the latter of which I expect to end up in front of the Dragons if supercoach:shock: isn't sacked soon.) though I'm nervous about next year because we can all see the current rate of decline.

It's medicine time !!!!!!!!

I know some people are prone to exaggeration, but really? You think that those three guys would be pushing for SOO, considering that Adam Reynolds was considered too inexperienced to be playing this year? And who's spot would they be pushing for?

Dont get me wrong, I love those three as much as the next Red V fan, but none of them would be expected to crack the SOO team even with a decent coach.

Adam Reynolds is pushing for SOO. Perhaps I was being overly enthusiastic about Stockwell at this stage and Farah is playing very well but King is big enough to come on at lock or skillful enough for 5/8. DeBekin is a big, hard-running, hard-tackling backrower. I think he wouldn't be out of place at all and wasn't he in the "emerging Blues" with King a few years back?
Regardless, I said "pushing for" and "IMO". Pretty vague but it's just my opinion.

Really? I hadn't noticed you repeating yourself, but I guess you kinda do, now that you mention it. Up until now I'd considered you a thoughtful contributor:shock:

That's good. Shows even the most humble among is willing to learn:sarcasm:.

This is what lost me. If they were rebuilding I could accept it but as you said. I would add that apart from Dugan, arguably the best players have been DeBelin, Stockwell and King. 3 guys the '$%#&! supercoach:shock: didn't seem good enough for first grade until this year or even more recently in the case of DeBelin. IMO with a proper coach these 3 guys would be pushing for SOO inclusion by now.

I think I referred to you elsewhere as an imbecile.
I owe you an apology.
I seriously under estimated you, you are far more than an imbecile.

Fiery....King missed out on game time last year due to injury and the freakish form of Rein. As for Stockwell and De Belin, they were given a taste and the consensus was that they still needed more time in the minor grades. Is it possible that the good form being shown by De Belin and Stockwell now is because of the decision of Price to give them more time learning in the lower grades? I wonder....

Not that I ever expect you to say it was a good decision by him.

Henjak will fix it all. Never fear. He'll get DeBekin into Origin fo' sure. He's a '$%#&! supercoach!
Henjak has had great success since leaving the Broncos. I believe he coached his son's under 15's West Centenary Panthers to the top of the table!

IVAN Henjak is back in the coaching ranks but it's a world away from the high-pressure NRL scene and the 40,000 screaming Brisbane Broncos fans who pack Suncorp Stadium.
The main stress the sacked former Broncos coach confronts when he coaches his son's junior side is avoiding the mobs of kangaroos that charge across the ground in the backblocks of Brisbane's western suburbs.
Henjak has been almost invisible since his shock axing from the Broncos early last year, changing his mobile phone number and going to ground as he cuts ties with the NRL community.
Just about everyone but Interpol has been trying to find Henjak.
A Toowoomba rugby league club tried to offer him a coaching job but gave up after several fruitless weeks of searching for him.
But The Sunday Mail has snared the first pictures of Henjak back coaching as he took charge of the (Wests) Centenary under-15 division one side that his talented halfback son Jimmy plays for.

Coaching at Centenary's home ground at the PJ McIlwain Place fields at Wacol down a winding road from the Brisbane Women's Correctional Centre is a far cry from crammed NRL stadiums.



As The Sunday Mail watched Henjak coaching from the sideline on Friday night, kangaroos charged across the end of the field as mum and dad spectators rugged up against the bitter cold and munched on pies from the local canteen.
Henjak refused an interview request as a club official insisted: "Ivan wants this to be on the quiet.
"He doesn't want any attention.''
While Henjak has listed his role with his son's side as "skills coach'', parents of players in the team say there is no doubt he is the head coach and conducts the main training drills.
One Centenary parent said Henjak was well-liked and added: "Any (former) NRL coach can coach my lad that's fine with me.''
And the good news for Henjak is his coaching methods are having success at grassroots junior level.
His Centenary under-15 side sits on top of the table and has lost only one game all season, adding to their imposing record with a win over Wynnum on Friday night.

Hey Fiery, can you tell me a bit about yourself?

Please don't ever suggest that any improvement in form or growth as an individual by any player has anything to do with good decision making by supercoach:shock:price (did I doitrite?). This doesn't fit the agenda.

Ha ha. I've been wondering where OT is. Surely he could provide Fiery with suitable comments. I'm getting worried about OT. Hope he is alright

What did it for me with Price was all off season he said that they have been working on their offence. Made out as if the offence was a huge part of what they worked on. I honestly expected so much did not care if they lost or did not make the 8 but I though they would improve there attack and play some good footy as they had all off season to prepare.

Rd 13 and they are averaging 2 tries a game. In a game against the Broncos they were camped in there half for more than 60% of the game and could not score. And it is not the only time they had more possession and could not score. Commentators are saying if you can score 2-3 tries against the Dragons you win. They haven't got many points in them.

He spent a whole off season on that? Makes you wonder what the F&$# he was working on.

The Eels scored 24 against the Chooks for crying out loud. They even put 40 on the Warriors. If they can do it why can't Saints? The Saints have hit over 20 twice in 13 rounds one was against Parra. Parra has scored 2pts less than Saints and are last.

What is he going to work on next off season. Cause he proved what he did last off season was a waste of time.

Probably practice in goal team huddles, restarts from halfway and drop outs.

Almost forgot 20 metre tap kicks and touch finders. Probably drop the 40/20 because we won't have anybody that can kick that far. :)

Rein was fantastic last year. Fien was okay coming on to give him a break as well but only supercoach:shock: could pull the kind of sick joke on Dragons fans to have Fien there in front of King. Even when there was no chance of making the finals!! If he thought Fien was still better at that time (which I can only comprehend with great difficulty because Fien was ok at hooker but I rate King very highly.) it's fair enough but if they were rebuilding why not give King a chance when it no longer mattered anyway??!!
