'Could be a steal': Scary truth behind NRL's most wanted man​

All players have different mental dispositions too. Ie Galvin is shy, JErome is confident.

Islanders famously don't like to be singled out from the group. This punishment turns the entire group against him.

It is really, really stupid man and team management.

Yep.

I live in an islander area.

Relationships and respect are very important facets of the everyday culture.

It’s unspoken but understood.

There is a Samoan guy down the way, he invites people to throw their used and unwanted furniture and junk in his yard. Like a permanent council pick up. But if you respect him, you only chuck things there he can recycle or sell.

Kyle Flanagan signed till 2027 WHY ?

Surely Kyle's playing position for 2026-2037 will be at lock. With anIlias/Atkinson halves combination and a host of bright young juniors coming through.

Could mean that Flanno Snr is about to be extended also.

At this point, you can only pray.

Given the cattle he had this year, all of the pre-season turbulence and marquee drama and hate….. I think he’s the best coach in the NRL by some distance atm.

If he puts in another “ champagne season” with your roster (still under construction) I’d be surprised if a few of the marquee clubs don’t make an approach.

Benny can’t last forever, a couple of years to drag south’s into the mix again. That’ll be enough for him.

What if Madge lucks out? He’s not a good club coach and they are huge and wealthy?

Robbo might be getting a bit stale and he’s running out of innate talent.

Ricky can’t last forever. He’s had a lot of plans but his sides drop like flies.

If Benji pulls defeat from a 9th placing this year, he’s on the ropes.

Thinking about it, it might be easier to highlight the clubs who don’t need him.

And unlike so many other coaches, we know he just won’t suck up to players.
If they are recalcitrant and get ugly, he sticks their rep jerseys up their backsides and sends them packing.

Very old school values and the game has never needed those more than now. Especially with some of the rabble in the player fleet.

He may end a great signing for the raiders, but at the money discussed and his current status, it smells risky still to me.

 

[Rocket Rod]

I’m glad the Raiders got him over the others. I guess he would’ve been good for us but at the money he’s not quite there yet. We have a couple of exciting young big strong forwards coming thru and I’m thing that coach has fast lane thoughts for them. Maybe Lodge would be a cheaper alternative for us and wouldn’t block pathways.

St Helens chief linked with major move to NRL

ST HELENS chief executive Mike Rush has laughed at speculation linking him with the NRL. Rush was appointed as Saints chief executive back in April 2013, having progressed through the ranks at the …

www.totalrl.com

“Years ago Rush applied for the vacant chief executive role at the St George Illawarra Dragons.

“He was interviewed by then-Dragons chairman Brian Johnston, who ended up giving himself the job.

“We hear Rush is still keen on a move from the north of England to Australia.

“He would be a fantastic acquisition for the NRL in a senior role or any of the 17 clubs.”

He could be a decent CEO for us. Lots of footy background. He could be leaving one great RedV to join another great RedV.

Be nice if maintained connections with the players .For future recruitment .

I'd love to see a sister club relationship between Saint Helens and Saint George Illawarra formed.

I think we were ready to go a while back.. but this Mike Rush thing has to be a late spanner surely.. never even heard his name as a candidate.. if its enough to stall the existing candidates process, they must be interested..
