Re: Ricky Stuart rules himself out of contention for NSW Blues coach

Re: Ricky Stuart rules himself out of contention for NSW Blues coach
Bellamy's already had a crack, buddy! He coached them for 3 series between 08-10. And he has already ruled himself out saying he doesnt believe the job can be done by someone already looking after an NRL team. Maybe the general we get out to tell you that you lost the war can also help you out with...

Re: Corey Horsburgh commits his future to Canberra Raiders
The line about no one from the club speaking to Hors is obviously not true. He is in a football squad, taking instructions from people 5-6 days a week. There's obviously some communication there.

Re: Corey Horsburgh commits his future to Canberra Raiders

Tracking the history of this case, the best football to come from Horsburgh is when he is committed to maintaining fitness and his off-field life is in order.

Sharks making some key re-signings. We should put some pressure on and have a crack at Mulitalo. He'd add a lot to our side. He's gettable.

Smith finally realising he's not that good and needs to stop burning bridges with every club in the NRL. [emoji23]
He was dead set hopeless this year. Better than Levi, but far out he was taking the piss. Needs to pull his head in.

Perhaps, but it's slightly different releasing a player to a direct competitor.

Re: Hohepa Puru exploring a move to Cronulla Sharks
He's not a big body and tackles low against the biggest middles. I'm not sure it's a technique thing, but when he misses tackles or drops off it usually because he's making contact at the hip or thigh. For a smaller bloke he's always at risk of getting his head in the wrong position against players ...
