NRL's growth mindset points to 18th team. And it ain't Perth.

Being realistic about the state of reality isn't being negative.

You can't change things for the better if you refuse to accept you have a problem.
Yes, but you seem to edge for or look for every single problem, reality is, its not a problem till it actually is, constantly stating issues to either side step or not take the road, means you might as well be a rock, stay put, do nothing.....

That’s the catch 22 though. Australians (players and coaches) don’t often go to the Warriors. They find it hard to recruit anybody, so unless they either go ridiculously over the top with money in order to lure someone across, or they are going to be stuck with the dregs who have no other options.

Todd Payten is a perfect example. He was an assistant coach but as soon as he had options he decided to go back home. That is their biggest problem.
I thought they let Payten walk, because you know.... Warriors.

The Warriors have so much potential, they could be as big as the Broncos off the field and as dominant as the Storm on the field. A very astute and patient coach could do great things there.

They didn’t let him walk from my memory. They offered him a contract to be first grade coach and he decided not to take it up because he wanted to go home to Australia. Then poor buggers decided to choose Nathan Brown of all people.

Some of it is definitely their fault but it is very hard to attract coaching talent in particular.

That there has been their only good coach. They couldn’t keep him though because he had options and he wanted to go home. That’s the problem.

The only way that this problem gets solved is having a good homegrown Kiwi coach who doesn’t have the temptation (or as much) to walk out of the joint

The legendary Trent Barrett is on the market...

Could we see another slapfest between Browny and Trenty?

What a load of pretentious, moronically stupid, shit.

Using that logic we shouldn't build dykes to prevent floods because the flood isn't a 'problem' until it's actually happened and everything is washed away. We shouldn't vaccinate kids against diseases because it's not a 'problem' until they get sick. We shouldn't worry about building, health, food safety, etc, standards because it's not a 'problem' until somebody is hurt... Do I need to carry on with examples?

If you can foresee a problem and mitigate it before it actually happens then it never 'actually' becomes a problem, and it's negligent in the extreme to ignore obvious potential problems simply because you find them inconvenient to your goals.

It's also extremely insulting that a person like you, whom regularly and enthusiastically supports totally regressive ideas, has the gall to call me too conservative and incapable of significant change.

Payten wanted to be in Australia because his partners father has cancer, and they wanted to be able to actually see him (care for him etc). With the covid border restrictions, especially with NZ, that would have made it nearly impossible. Hence he chose the Cowboys offer.
Brown is at The Warriors thanks to one Gus Gould. He was the one who recommended Brown to the Warriors board

Nz2 bears trumps Perth lol

nz were already favourites before

the bears are what gave Perth the lead
Weeeeell, if it was "The Bears" (without a geographical name, much like the Dolphins) based in Christchurch, in that flash new stadium that's being built, I think locals there would get on board.

Any team in red & black there goes down well.

Hahaha no one wants more than 2 games at NSO, having 9 is just you taking the piss, if you said 6 SFS, 6 Christchurch then i'd back you or even 3SFS,6CCnz,3 wellington then that would be even better

the whole notion that we should choose a bid just to get bears back is taking the piss, I’m just going along With the stupidity of it.
