Because Dugan has not been doing everything the coaching staff have asked of him during the off season.

He was more concerned about getting himself medically retired.

Then Moylan gets ruled out for 2 months and suddenly he’s “training the house down “.

If I was a player who worked my butt off in the off season and then saw Dugan rushed into the team I be pissed. In fact if it happens don’t expect all to be well with some of the playing group. It will definitely show the coach is weak and has no backbone.

Fpharque off!!

How often do you think Fifita is doing full sessions of everything? Terry Lamb never trained. Turned up, but couldn’t run. Do you think Cam Smith does all the training? Gallen? Was he doing it all?

Modern players are “managed” injury wise. If they can get through a game but can’t if they full stress their injuries and niggles they don’t train.

I don’t believe 5% of what has been reported by the scumia. I’d be more inclined to think the whole thing was driven from inside the club to “encourage” Dugan to leave.

I would also take more out of what proper doctors say over what club lackey doctors say when their job is to push players back on the field. Look at how many players are cleared to play then reinjure because they return too early. Look at the bullshit around concussions and how clearly scrambled snarks pass concussion tests

Stop reading the papers.

Who would be a coach? Or any position of responsibility for that matter? Coach has to deal with recruiting, training, tactics ,injuries,rule changes Administration requirements ,fan expectations, etc which is to be expected , then you add in player egos, squad dynamics , salary cap requirements ,media portrayal etc etc etc. Bottom line is he will get judged on results.
If I were morris I would get all the players who might be disgruntled over Dugans antics ,for a little video session . First picture would be a little crippled kid with a sharks flag. Lifes not fair is it? Next a compilation of best of dugans highlights from Rep and club games.

I would then explain that when team selection came it was his responsibility to select the side he felt most likely to win that match. Fair is not consideration at that stage. Any player disappointed is welcome to ask why and get help from coaching staff to work on whatever needs to be worked on. If they need to work twice as hard as some other player ....? well Life's not fair , How you deal with that does determine what you get out of life as an individual... And I dont mean money or accolades from people that dont know you etc.

In saying all that,Morris's record so far suggests he doesnt need any advice from me

Ronaldo and Kennedy have come out saying how much they love the bloke and what he does for the young kids.

Surely they’re making it up because the media wouldn’t get it wrong would they?

Hopefully, Dugan is in a better place mentally and physically and can contribute to the team.

Many NRL players struggle to transition to life after retirement. He is one player who is very likely to struggle.

Speaking of Ronaldo, his brother he been named for Glebe. Can anyone confirm the age of the twins?

Too old for Flegg and not good for Jets??

Newtown 2019 Grand Final players, playing NRL round 1.

Kennedy, Katoa, Mulitano, Sorenson, Brailey, Ruldoph - Sharks

Jaimin Jolliffe - Titans.

I am going to watch the Titans game, i thought Joliffe looked good playing for Jets, and played big minutes

Me old mate DeeDubyuh is tied up behind a welded up door in China right now. Reckon he won't see daylight for a couple of weeks. I will wait for DeeDubyuh to open his gate before I purchase anymore items.
Our Reverend Leader Slomo is giving handouts*, no excuses now.
Better be quick, or in a marginal seat. Cause when the hysteria virus dies down the handout* will be gone.

2020 Away Jersey
View attachment 36880
I really like it. The blue V on our jersey usually gets messed by the sponsor, so I always though a blue hoop or just all black would look much better

Not sure about the sublimated shark, but I dig the striped cuffs and collar

Ahh f**k, sorry I didn't see this and started a new thread.

Oh well probably worthy of a thread on its own anyway.

Not enough Incredible Hulks and Spiderman images. Plus, throw in a couple of Kododa Trail figures and a woman playing league in an indigenous jersey and I reckon we'd nearly have all the bases covered for the first few months of the far-can league season as we now know it.
