The NRL Thread- Everyone gets a coach

Gotta be better than Freddy

Surprised there’s been no mention from the Souffs diehards


Sadly there is a lot of unknowns around this
 even inside the club they aren’t sure of the exact circumstances so I assume lots of people are keeping quiet out of respect.

The fact that people are mentioning beyond blue etc in most articles, and it coming so soon after Kyle Turners passing is all pretty sad.

Players are stepping up their committing crime game
 allegedly

They sure are. Just saw this one too, lol at the SMH requiring an entire subcategory for “NRL off-field behaviour”.

All class at the Dragons

Deadliest the Tigers were in attack all season.

Police alleged Wighton and Mitchell, who will become teammates at South Sydney next year, fought each other outside the venue. However, Power claimed he had a “long-term memory issue” after his version of events was challenged by Wighton’s lawyer, Steve Boland.

Boland said the police had attempted to “frame” his client, labelling the case as an “old-school stitch-up”.

“What I saw appears to have not happened and my memory has failed me,” Power said, adding that he had not intentionally misled the court.

Later, when Power addressed Wighton, he said: “Sorry, Jack, if that’s what happened, mate 
 I’m sorry.”

The apology did nothing to placate Boland, who said Power had invented evidence rather than forgot what had happened.

“You’re not mates, are you 
 how inappropriate,” Boland told the court.

The bombshell revelations came after Boland used CCTV footage to put together a timeline of events that contradicted Power’s version. Boland labelled Power’s testimony as “a total and utter fantasy you dreamt up to justify everything that happens”.

But today, those charges were dismissed.

The players, who are cousins, embraced each other when Magistrate Jane Campbell dismissed the case in the ACT Magistrates Court.

She also ordered ACT Policing to pay both player’s legal costs.

It is worth reading the whole article. Absolutely shameful from the police and DPP to even pursue this.

The headline is so savage (and true) I could swear Clancy Overell wrote that instead.

Australian rugby league can maintain its “gladiatorial” quality and reduce head injuries without a reduction in the tackle height, according to senior coaches in the game

I always go to my local senior rugby league coach for medical advice

Good news. Hopefully this is the end of the constant media leaks and we can maybe keep things in house and not in the papers.

So what’s the go with that hole in the ground known as the Balmain Leagues club? Is that thing ever getting built on?

According to this, it should have already started


I was about to ask what the hell Farry O’Barrel was doing at the Tigers. Then I found out he’s actually been chairman there already!

Luai to the tigers $6m over 5 years.

Great player, I’m stoked he’s getting paid, but that’s a bad move for the tigers.
