Anthony Griffin is officially now crossed off the list. He has been appointed head coach of the Dragons. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2020-anthony-griffin-new-coach-of-dragons-st-george-illawarra-contract-signing-dean-young/news-story/0ccc476dfdb8ca1aad0f1a39c239480f

Paul Vautin has stated his support for Ben Ikin as CEO of the Broncos. The problem with Vautin's comments is all it's done is outlined the problem with appointing Ikin for the role of CEO. Vautin suggests Ikin doesn't have alot of experience in the corporate world but could get them right on the...

This 'Where the greatest' club in the world' and therefore we should have any choice of coach we want on a silver platter is pretty self-entitled thinking. Yes, the Broncos are a great club and its fair comparison that they are the New York Yankees of the NRL. Where the bar for success is set...

I think Kevin Walters would have found the Titans job more tempting when it was available in 2017 then in 2019. By 2019 Garth Brennan had locked the Titans into some awful contracts (Shannon Boyd, Bryce Cartwright, Tyrone Peachy etc) which was going to clog up their salary cap for years to...

Yeah I heard something similar like that from Gus Gould. I don't think the problem is fitting him under the salary cap at Souths. Its in terms of what he is asking for, he believes that he should be paid as a fullback when he's playing on the wing. Probably also believes he could test the market...

I don't see that as a problem. If Milford plays the house down. Great! Just be weary that he is doing it in his last year of his contract when you look to resign him. If another club competing wants to pay overs then that's their problem. I'm happy to keep Milford for one more year. The worse...

I'm not surprised Ben Ikin is not going to get it. Its history repeating itself. I remember when the Broncos CEO position was available 10 years ago there was a push for Gene Miles to get it. They gave the position to Paul White. The position is much about commercial and business as its about...

According to Andrew Webster there is more to it in terms of Anthony Griffin departure with Penrith. Which is why he is not in favor of Griffin getting the Dragons job. The problem with the Andrew Webster article is he disregards the players who support Griffin (Trent Merrin, Corey Norman and...

Fair point. I can see a bright side to this. That it doesn't leave the QRL and the Queensland players in limbo, with the Broncos mulling around whether to give Kevin Walters the job.

Kevin Walters has now ruled out quitting coaching Queensland at this years state of origin. Regardless of whether he lands the Broncos job or not. Queensland coach Kevin Walters has confirmed he won't walk away from his State of Origin commitments this year if he's offered Brisbane's NRL gig...

Channel Nine Footy show panel was garbage last Sunday in the segment inside the ten. The panel Peter Sterling, Brent Read, Andrew Webster, and David Riccio all backed Paul Green. They mentioned he was a proven coach who had won a premiership. Of course they conveniently left out the fact Greens...

a) Seibold may have signed with the Broncos for the 2020 season after his contract ended with Souths. But I said he wanted out of Souths after he had signed with us. He didn't want to coach Souths for the 2019 season after the deal had been done. And the article with the link below backs those...

Yeah actually thought it was pretty pissweak of Anthony Seibold doing that. Not only Souths gave him his opportunity, but he also has a year left on his contract and he wants out to coach the Broncos. Seibold would be likely wondering how things would have turned out if he stayed loyal. I tend...

Correct. Doesn't mean he will return to the field after that date though. It was suggested in the Courier Mail that it will be surprising if he plays again this season.

It been reported in the Courier Mail the Broncos have decided to give Tevita Pangai Junior one more chance. His contract won't be torn up and he will be playing at the Broncos next year. I tend to think all parties involved win out of this decision. The Broncos may have had a difficult legal...

Its been reported in the Courier Mail that Todd Payten will be offered the Cowboys job on a three year contract worth 1.5 million. So you can cross him off the list.

Tell you the truth I never really agreed with Anthony Seibold departing Souths with a year left on his contract. I think Wayne Bennett doing the same thing to Souths would be pretty shabby also with a year left remaining. I actually respect Craig Bellamy when he says he doesn't break contracts...

Ricky Stuart took over a Parramatta team that came last the previous season. He knew the roster was no good and drew up a list of players he wanted to move on. But before he could complete the job he decided to quit and go to Canberra. I'm just not sure I would call years in Parramatta...

It gets thrown up that Kevin Walters inherited a good situation from Mal Meninga when he became Queensland coach. The truth is Walters did appoint his own staff and made some key decisions to put his own signature when he got the job. This point seems to get lost on a lot of people. Ironically...

I will say this people who use the argument 'you can't win a premiership with Anthony Griffin'. I think the next coach just needs to worry about rebuilding this team and getting this team playing competitive again. The question who can lead this team to a premiership will come in time. You need...
