He's just stood down as Redcliffe coach with a handy record:
• two Intrust Super Cup grand finals (2016 and 2018)
• Intrust Super Cup minor premierships (2016 and 2018)
• two Queensland Rugby League club championships (2016 and 2017)
• Intrust Super Cup Cup premiership winner 2018
• National State Championship runner-up in 2018
Never heard of Christ Onabi'ke, but he'd probably love the bike paths.

Joey Leilua tests positive for COVID, signs with Featherstone
Manly Sea Eagles player Josh Aloia has become the first NRL player to test positive for Covid-19, which has seen his highly-anticipated boxing bout against Paul Gallen postponed. Joey Leilua, who was training with Aloiai and due to fight on the card, tested positive several days ago and Aloiai also received a positive result on Wednesday morning. Leilua was scheduled to fight Chris Heighington on the undercard in Newcastle. But Leilua is unlikely to appear in a postponed event as he just signed with English side Featherstone and was set to fly out after the bout.

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?
Hope the big fella has a speedy full recovery and kills it for Featherstone.
Is there a pathway to the SuperLeague for him? Is Featherstone a feeder club he can be selected from or will he only get a shot of Featherstone is promoted to the 1st division (if that’s even possible?)

No. Plus promotion doesn’t happen until the end of next season.

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?
If you draw the analogy to big night out when you play up more than you’d hoped. If you are full of regret and feeling embarrassed you tend to mention it little and quietly learn from your mistakes. When you tell the world about just how wild you were it’s hard not to feel that you might be glorifying your behaviour just a little.

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?
Hoping it’s not the case for Brett, but I remember watching a doco on the drug troubles of former West Coast Eagle Ben Cousins and what stuck out to me was the passion in his voice when he described his benders and euphoria or the drugs he took. I’ve luckily lived a life where I’ve avoided those vices, but I found it hard to reconcile how someone so taken by his addiction could possibly kick it. Like I say I hope Brett is on a different healthy path but not sure about the value of that story.BJ123 wrote: ↑December 13, 2021, 9:36 pmI’m also a little concerned he loves the limelight more than the lesson.Billy Walker wrote:If you draw the analogy to big night out when you play up more than you’d hoped.
