2026 NRL General Discussion Thread

I still want to know how Bwaith got the job. James Graham was the clear stand out if they wanted an x-player, heck even Matthew Johns would have been better. Pretty much anyone with an ounce of professionalism would have been better.

Ikin only gave his opinions if they were well thought out or if required, he facilitated conversations well. Bwaith can't help but get his opinion out there and talk down other panelists.

And they decided to double down on incompetence by giving Dean Ritchie a gig. Like, name one fan anywhere other than Ritchie himself who wanted to listen to him.

I think Ikin was more about asking questions wasn't he... like he would ask well thought out questions that looked at a topic from a different perspective, and his other commentators were then required answer from a different perspective... basically he went "off narrative/script".

Braith just gives his own opinion and then yells at others whenever they bring up something that he doesn't agree with.

Gordie is a moron who thinks he's a genius... last night when Read was saying that Galvin thinks he will get better development from other coaches .. and Gordie is like Bennett was a winger... insinuating that Benji should be the dream coach for any young half coming through because he was a great running five eight.

Yeah CONEHEAD is a moron, so he fits the calibre of people on the show. It’s just a shame there isn’t an actual good alternative available.

Do love an adidas kit. Shame it's the Blues.
 
It seems the new formula for NRL360 is to bring Brent Read on, have him say something either controversial or that they simply don't agree with, which will lead to them arguing against him, but barely letting him finish a thought ... then the following night (when Brent read is not on) they spend half the show laughing at him and whinging about what he said the previous night.

they must be paying Read a **** ton of cash for him to put up with that shit

It’s probably the only thing they do that I like. They are all halfwits but Read is embarrassing, love listening to them rip into him.
 
The show is just crazy fake. I did like, I think it was last night, when Webster took a cheeky swipe at Bwaith and him being a player manager while working in the media.

Braith was filthy when he said it as well haha... Webster might get kicked off the show even though he's one of the better speakers across the journos

Well he's better than freaking Ritchie and Read but who isn't? He fits the show, has such a high pitched voice and is a bit sensationalist. Is Carryannis still on it? I liked him.

Yeah I think Carryannis is still on it... think he's usually Wednesday so would be on tonight.

It think it's basically
Mon - Buzzed and Read
Tues - Crawley (🤮) with his latest Uncle Wayne talking points and maybe Riccio.. think this is where Richie comes in... Tuesday might be a revolving door
Wed - Hooper and maybe Carryannis... but this might be a revolving door as well

I'm surprised Crawley can even talk on the show on Tuesdays with a mouth full of Ricky each week.
