I'm not that keen on Brad Arthur. He was actually given more chances at Parramatta then Kevin Walters received at the Broncos. A finals appearance and then later on a grand final appearance was able to save his bacon when it looked like his job was in jeopardy. Even then he always seemed to be a...

I do wonder what's the future for Kevin Walters as a coach. A grand final appearance is nothing to sneeze at. The first two seasons at the club he had to get the roster in order. Although it's viewed we should have made the finals in the second season. I know it was reported a couple years ago...

It was reported in the Courier Mail there expected to be kept on with a new coach.

Souths did bounce back quickly after they departed with Michael Maguire. I don't think its fair to suggest he left the club as a basket case when he left. But a new voice was needed to change things up after sustain period of success including winning a grand final under him. There were major...

"Others in the mix for the Red Hill throne include Wayne Bennett’s former Brisbane assistant Jason Demetriou, ex-Eels coach Brad Arthur and Ipswich Jets premiership duo Ben and Shane Walker, who played for the club."...

I this is a bit too simplistic. The the timing was awful for Michael Maguire at the Tigers. For everyone singing the praises for Ivan Cleary at Penrith. He locked the Tigers into some bad contracts in the brief stint he was there as coach. Then left for the Penrith job, with Maguire left to pick...

No, but Shaun Wane would make some sense. A veteran coach, who has previously coach a club with high expectations in Wigan. He coached Wigan to winning three grand finals in UK Super league. I know Wane wants to coach NRL. Cowboys were seriously considering him a couple of years ago. But he...

The first half is worrying. It's like its a strategy with the way we are winning games. Go in the grind and play them even in the first half and then pull away in the second half. I'm not sure that's the best way to win playing the best teams at the back end of the year. There have been times...

Interestingly Andrews Johns said the other day that Anthony Milford has a month left to save his NRL career. He questioned his fitness in the trial game, and said his defence was ordinary and let in a few tries. Its early days but the Dolphins may be looking past him with Isaiya Katoa. I still...

Apparently the extension for David Fifita was 3 years at $2.4 million reported in the Courier Mail. The article didn't get into what the Broncos offered. Only to say that the Broncos were reluctant to get in a bidding war. Who knows what happened? Whether Fifita didn't like the numbers the...

I agree with this. As someone on the Titans forum mentioned with Aj Brimson, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, and Beau Fermor. There was none of this stringing the Titans along. They signed their deals and that was the end of it. I'm in two minds because I don't like to see players quit on teams. But...

He will have to take a pay cut no matter which team he ends up with. Depends how much he is willing to give up though. I'm not sure about the Dolphins though. I really think winning is important to David Fifita and he may think the Broncos are closer. The other option is he may give the Titans...

Justin Holbrook does sound a bit agitated in his comments regarding David Fifita. He is claiming the Broncos can't afford him. It's been reported widely that the Broncos now have cap space to make an offer for Fifita. Holbrook is under pressure this year, I can see why he would want Fifita to...

Payne Haas was asked about a potential David Fifita return. He handled his comments with class. He said he would love to have Fifita back but won't be using his friendship to lobby him back to the Broncos. The article also said Kevin Walters has been in contact with Fifita. And the club would...

Yeah I saw that must be devastating for Beau Fermor. Whatever team you support nobody would wish that on anyone. Your right in the sense that there is probably zero chance from the Titans with an early release of David Fifita. But then again there was never any proof the Titans were considering...

No fan of the media especially Newscorpse or the Courier Fail but they made it clear in the original article. The Broncos cleared $1.5 million in Brisbane’s salary cap with Dolphins defections of Herbie Farnworth and Tom Flegler.

Apparently the latest reports are the Raiders are out of contention for David Fiftia. And it will be between the Titans and the Broncos. The reports suggests Broncos are not going passively for Fifita but are going hard. Apparently they wanted Fifita back for a while but kept it quiet. It was...

You are so right on the lazy narrative. I actually read reports he was in great shape last offseason as quoted below. Its not like he's walking around on the field with a big gut. Dave Taylor you could question his fitness at times during his career. Fifita you can't unless you have something...

I think it would have to be something worthwhile for the Titans to make it worth it. Because I doubt the Broncos will swallow David Fifita whole salary of 1.2 million this year. I know Kent made the point the Titans could see an upside of losing Fifita because the return on investment hasn't...

I generally don't think that David Fifita manager is trying to use the Broncos to get his offer bumped from other teams. For the simple reason Fifita doesn't have alot leverage. He is coming from a down year and he is already getting offered some serious coin. I really doubt the Titans or the...
