    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    Interestingly Daly Cherry-Evans got booed when called up to make his speech at the end of the game. I was wondering if there were only NSW fans left at the game but James Tedesco got booed as well. I'm wondering if the fans still haven't got over Cherry-Evans pulling out playing for the Titans...

    Next Queensland coach?

    It will be interesting they continue with Paul Green. Some of the suggestions have been with coaches that don't have a lot of experience in Jonathan Thurston and Billy Slater. Brad Fittler had been a NRL coach previously and still did alot of lower level coaching before getting the job. Wayne...

    Worst signing of the season 2021?

    I never understand why players leave their situation for a worse situation. I actually think it worked out worse for both parties involved when Joseph Leilua and Canberra Raiders parted company. He left after they made the Grand final and has stunk it up at the Tigers. While the Raiders ended up...

    Should the Canberra Raiders make a play for coach Wayne Bennett?

    Wayne Bennett will always be considered one of the all time great coaches. I still think the shine has came off a little bit in recent years. 1) He hasn't won a comp for 10 years. 2) Has left previous teams salary cap in a mess with some questionable deals (Jack Bird, Anthony Milford etc) 3)...

    Should the Canberra Raiders make a play for coach Wayne Bennett?

    I actually think Wayne Bennett would be a better fit at the Titans. Raiders probably need a rebuild while Titans have most of the pieces in place just need someone to put all together. I actually don't mind Justin Holbrook though, but if he falters next year then questions will be asked. Titans...

    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    QRL are so filthy with Jai Arrow they are considering banning him from being chosen for next year's state of origin as well. Funny enough. When I was thinking of who would be a future captain when Daly Cherry-Evans departs. I thought either Cameron Munster or Jai Arrow. Yeah I made a mistake...

    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    Just in Jai Arrow he has potentially breached covid protocol and is being investigated by the integrity unity. And will miss state of origin game 3 with Thomas Flegler making his debut for QLD. I'm finding it difficult to see QLD averting the sweep...

    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    Obviously alot is riding on whether David Fifita can beat the ban. I am a Broncos fan, but I would be tempted to replace Xavier Coates with Corey Thompson on the wing. Titans seem so much better when he is in their side. Thompson chances have been hampered though because he has been out injured...

    The Passion of the Kevin

    Agreed with all this. Broncos management are holding all the cards and don't need to do anything irrational. It makes no sense to fire Kevin Walters when there is another year left on his contract. The smarter option is to give Walters till next season and see how it plays out. The roster isn't...

    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    I've seen calls for to dump Daly Cherry-Evans, but realistically who are you going to replace him with Ben Hunt? Jamal Fogarty? Ash Taylor? Anthony Milford? Corey Norman? Brodie Croft? Sam Walker (Too young) Hunt is the most viable option, but I still wouldn't do it. This was in comparison to...

    2021 R16 Sat - Canberra 6-44 Gold Coast @ GIO

    Corey Thompson and AJ Brimson are back for the Titans. I know points haven't been a problem for the Titans its defense, but they do seem much better when Thompson is playing for them. Jayden Campbell has been dropped to accommodate Brimson but he will play first grade again. I have heard...

    Cronulla to Perth

    Yeah, however the Sharks were in the red big time a couple of years ago too. And the NRL didn't either move the Sharks or kill them off then. I'm not saying that financial sustainability is not a factor. But some fans/commentators conveniently tend to do this when a club is going through a rough...

    Cronulla to Perth

    What about the Dragons? I think from memory the Titans took a game to Toowoomba because of conflict with the Commonwealth games. And the Dragons fans out numbered the Titans fans 4 to 1. From what I understand back in the old days the Dragons use to tour Queensland and play Queensland teams...

    Cronulla to Perth

    QRL's Bruce Hatcher wants to relocate Sharks to Brisbane. The problem with the idea is: 1. Sharks fans will be pissed off. 2. The new Brisbane team will be pissed off it has to take players, colours, and logos. And can't put there own signature on the team. 3. Hatcher idea is that the club will...

    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    That's not what its saying on NRL.com. They have said that with Reece Walsh ruled out and Ronaldo Mulitalo withdrawing because of doubts on his eligibility. That Val Holmes will move back to fullback and Xavier Coates being rushed back into the team playing wing...

    Rumoured Signings

    Shaun Johnson to the Warriors on a two year deal. It is a bit of a shock as only three months ago Warriors senior players had a emphatic NO to bringing back Johnson. I've read around the traps Johnson with a young family wanted to go back to New Zealand. It also opens the potential option of...

    Rumoured Signings

    Courier Mail suggest that Tevita Pangai Jnr is also receiving interest from the Bulldogs and the Titans. But they list the Tigers as the front runner. The don't mention the Dragons in the article. But they do advise that the Titans would struggle with salary cap space to compete with the...

    Maroons team for the successful 2021 Origin series

    I'm not a medical expert, but I must admit I would prefer to stick with Andrew McCullough. After game 1 I'm against selecting players under a injury clouds and potentially jeopardise their season's. Aj Brimson was selected but clearly wasn't right and had limited impact. I'm not suggesting...

    The Passion of the Kevin

    Craig Coleman has said the roster was a dud when he was there as coach. I've seen Coleman in another interview admit he wasn't ready and in hindsight he would have liked to been a assistant under Tim Sheens for a couple of years. Broncos really messed up their salary cap. The contracts of Bird...

    Its not what the media is saying. There saying Ben Ikin appointment there is not a chance in hell Wayne Bennett will be back. https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/brisbane-broncos-coach-kevin-walters-wayne-bennett-paul-green-shane-flanagan/a57e7186-995c-4e2f-a01f-b85e2561550f
