Rumours and Stuff

I think I know what you're getting at but I can't be sure....

Simply put he is of the opinion that Bradley Arthur could and would allot the player into the correct order, or to at least put him into some semblance of an order

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Agree. He gets respect. And so many including me wanted JT.

I wanted Neil Henry

But NRL may not let in. 3 clubs sacked the guy and short time.
Well Souths didnt sack but happy to let go.

Cant understand why The Tits havent made a huge play for the NSW Supercoach.
Seriously though, Walters would have to be a raving lunatic to consider the job given his current position.
Id love to see The Walker Bros get the gig. Could be a breath of fresh air for the NRL.

I think an NRL club gig is far more desirable than coaching Origin. Even if it's leaving an Origin team that wins all the time for a club that doesn't.

You mean those merkins HJ always goes on about?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Well possibly re Walters but hed be on a hiding to nothing. He currently has a good rep as a coach whereas Loz's is crap. I wonder if they swapped states would it be the same. I reckon Walters would be a dud at NRL. Like i said. A huge risk for him.
Whats a HJ?
NRL is pretty predictable now days. Apparently these dudes are reinventing the wheel. Gotta be better than Des or someone else recycled.

I am of the opinion that Brad Arthur will instil the appropriate character and discipline within this young man and, in doing so, mould him into a productive member of not just a football team, but wider society as well

In other words, BA will sort him!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Is that what those merkins were on about? Fmd.

 

[T.S Quint]

I believe they actually meant that BA is out of sorts.

Isn't it all to do with the "integrity" of the game and preventing match fixing, not the salary cap per se? Isn't that why they want access to phone records and bank statements? If so, I don't see why match officials and NRL execs should not comply with the same.

What's to be gained to enforce the salary cap by accessing a players phone records? It'd be managers doing the dodgy shit...

The 'integrity unit' investigate salary cap issues as well as betting and behaviour stuff. If there is a serious allegation of match fixing, the cops can get a warrant to access phone records etc, regardless of the player's employment agreement. And if they want to investigate the NRL hierarchy, they can do that too. So it's not all about match fixing. The simple knowledge that the NRL 'might' get access to bank records may help enforce the cap. The AFL's recent CBA gives the AFL access to bank statements where cap breaches are suspected.

For one, it increases the possibility of catching cap cheats and stopping all that under-the-table third-party money players are earning.

The NRL busted Parramatta last year, for instance, when Eels-friendly companies invoiced the club bloated sums and then passed on the added dollars to players.

The NRL had no jurisdiction to investigate the companies and the money went undetected until a whistleblower gave them up.

What happens s when they are getting no ball and getting flogged from lack of possesion. It seems a gimic style lile collge nfl to real nfl. Chip kelly anyone?

These tactics work in the lesser competitions.

Nrl is evolving again. Defenses have worked out the Dogs type of style. So now coaches are taking more risks in attack.

I was down Melbourne and went to and Afl game.
What I noticed was a lot more females at games. And young girls 5-10ylds who knew carlton players names. Kept scorecards. Chanted all game. They where really into the game.

As a kid i remember going to games. Sitting on the hill at penrith. I spent most the time rolling down the hill. Till I was about 10yld. And started to watch the game.

AFL is doing a great job.

 

[hindy111]

Actually i thi k I was in high school before i stopped rolling down the hill

Christ...watching Kent and Crawley on NRL 360, and thinking that these two are considered pre-eminent NRL journalists by many people, just makes me want to go on an Archer style rampage

I can't get past Crawleys puffy saggy cheeks - puts me off !
