There was a mumble in the Courier Mail today about Kieran Foran and Blake Green at the Broncos. Yeah, I get the view about Foran kids are based in Sydney. However, if he is keen to extend his career and if was only for a one year stint he may overlook that. Obviously he is going to take a...

You spoke too soon. Titans won 16 -12.

You are right about that, considering he will be the highest paid player in the NRL. It doesn't discount the fact there is alot of scrutiny playing for the Broncos though. Paul White touched on it on 100% footy playing for the Broncos you are praised more when things are going well and you get...

My gripe with Newscorpse coverage is not they are calling for him to be sacked. It's that they have labeled Anthony Seibold 'dead man walking'. As if the decision has already been made to sack him. As if they have stated this so it must happen. Newcorpse and the Courier Fail don't just report...

Its surprising Geoff Toovey hasn't found a coaching job in the NRL again considering he guided Manly to a grand final. The knock maybe he inherited a good team from Des Hasler who won a grand final with Manly just before he took the offer and left for the Bulldogs. And Toovey was just riding the...

I have heard so many different versions of this story its doing my head in. The local Gold Coast rag has said David Fifita maybe turned off by the Broncos current plight and sign with the Titans, but they acknowledge it's unlikely. Paul Kent wrote a small tibit the Broncos were afraid there...

I agree that he received a significant payout so he has no need to rush out and find another job. However, I don't agree about being on the hunt for another head coaching job anytime soon. Stephen Kearney has now two failed stints to his coaching resume with the Warriors and the Eels. Yes he...

I heard on Gus Gould podcast Stephen Kearney didn't want the job. He's name was thrown up in the media without even yet being approached by the Broncos and asked. Kearney is likely still in mourning losing the Warriors job considering it was such a shock and probably doesn't feel up to it.

Agreed. I really doubt Jack Bird would have been here if Bennett didn't push for it. Its funny because in the Courier Mail article Bennett takes credit and avoids responsibility at the same time. He mentions all the great players he left at the Broncos but then when the Jack Bird signing is...

Interestingly there are reports Benji Marshall is looking for a new club since he has been dropped from first grade at the Tigers. I remember someone posted on another forum Marshall could link back up with the Broncos but he had no source. The reports have linked Marshall to a couple clubs but...

Broncos board saying all the right things that Exactly. Also if you notice after NSW lost game 1 Brad Fittler made wholesale changes and made up to I think 7 changes for NSW in game 2. After QLD flogging in game 2 all Kevin Walters could do was tinker with the team. QLD just doesn't have the...

Yeah nah your first coaching job is vital- make a mess of it and you will find yourself a career assistant coach or out of the coaching business for eternity. Kevin Walters turned down the Titans job and is likely very selective and it would be on his terms. A interim coaching job, with players...

Kevin Walters gives up his QLD coaching job and starts his NRL head coaching career by being appointed intermin coach until the end of season. I doubt Walters would except that poison chalice no matter how tempting it sounds. :noooice:

He's not that average he has produced two series wins and two series losses. There's an argument he has taken the role over where Queensland is going in a rebuilding phase and the talent stock levels are not as deep as they were under the hey day in Mal Meninga's rein. He was unlucky for QLD...

I think you might be a bit harsh there. I've seen Peter Sterling on the Footy show openly say Denis Fitzgerald should be gone from his CEO role at Parramatta. He also admitted he doesn't see eye to eye with Fitzgerald. I'm not sure I would say that's glossing it over and saying he thinks...

Look I do agree with Wendell Sailor here, and maybe I'm biased but one player can't make the Titans. David Fifita is a great talent but Gordan Tallis simplistic equation if the Titans signed him he could turn everything around is in the fairies. Wally Lewis and Jarryd Hayne went to the Gold...

David Fifita and Xavier Coates are apparently both Gold Coast products. The Titans really should be asking themselves the question what is going on with their recruitment in their catchment areas.

Exactly. Gordan Tallis was happy to collect his three premierships with a star studded Broncos team back in the day. I don't recall himself looking to be 'challenged' by offering his services to the then struggling Gold Coast Chargers.

It make sense particularly with the disappointing Nathan Peats coming off contract at the end of the year. Andrew McCullough may not be a world beater but he will play hard. That's more then you can say with some of the overpaid stiffs that they have at the Titans.

You make sound like its Bird decision and he has leverage, the truth is next season Bird will be playing for his future. Bird being 'reasonable' isn't the word I would use. If and that's a big if the Broncos want to retain Bird they will make him an offer but I don't think they will lose too...
