NSW Selectors

[dukey]

The best part of him coaching NSW is, for NSW and QLD fans alike, that he'd not be commentating for at least a few rounds each year. We should all be pushing for him to be instated as NSWRL coach/manager for the next ten years.

 

[Hamm.0]

On that fact alone, I concur.

Better yet can we offer him a high paying job as coach of a ESL team?

 

[Professor47]

Hammoz - a Gus hater and fair enough! I can definitely see where you are coming from. He's not exactly subtle.

I'd rather Gus in the game that Gallop, for what it's worth. But that's me.

 

[Coxy]

Agree lockyer47. Let's have random, kneejerk reactions to problems that aren't really problems rather than slow and steady decision making based on careful consideration.

................. :P

 

[Professor47]

Well... I'm not convinced about Gallop just yet. Personally, I think he's a bit soft and never directly answers anything thrown at him. (Nothing new from a CEO of course)
Look, I love rugby league as we all do - I think we can do more. I'm no sports administration expert and every bum on the street has ideas but surely, SURELY the game can do more right now in so many aspects. Promotion and marketing for one - and that's basic stuff. I remember growing up and we were surrounded by league here in the inner west in Sydney. I grew up in the heart of canterbury and the dogs were HUGE back then (For the record, I never supported them hehehe). FOOTY was huge back then. It was all we talked about when we were kids and the streets buzzed. They used to crack open some sausage sizzle in the nearby parks on the weekend and the families would be all out and they'd all talk about the footy back then.
By 2004, when the dogs won the comp, Belmore hardly cared.(exaggeration) Look, no disrespect to them but it wasn't big. Honestly. I'm telling you now, no way near as big as 1998 and that is when they LOST the GF.
I don't know what it is like in Brisbane but I'm guessing it's all good up there! Judging from the crowds and what not. Maybe it is dying in Sydney who knows?

What do you guys reckon?

 

[Professor47]

Also, I didn't mean I'd rather GUS as CEO than Gallop. If that is what you thought I meant. Gus would be terrible in that position I'll tell you that much. lol.

 

[Coxy]

No I know, but Gallop has shown a lot of cool, calculated, level headed decisionmaking. People always forget that he is hamstrung by a board that is 50-50 ARL and News Limited. ARL dinosaurs, News Limited money hungry mongrels.

Trying to keep both camps satisfied is tough.

Rugby League itself needs a massive restructure. We don't need a new NRL CEO.

 

[Professor47]

^
Yeh fair enough. I still think he's soft but I do agree it's not the root of the problems in our game by a far stretch.

 

[Coxy]

Problem is if they put a more headstrong person there they wouldn't last long. The board would get rid of him.

I think a lot of people misinterpret Gallop's shrewd subtlety as softness.

 

[Professor47]

Maybe. It's just sad to see Rugby league almost diminish in the Belmore area. Call me a traditionalist. ><

Of course, this is just my agenda.

Actually, I'll pop another one out there - Should there be another team in Brisbane?

 

[Hamm.0]

No.

 

[Canga]

Not in Brisbane but central QLD .

 

[Flutterby]

I think Peter Sterling would make an excellent Origin coach for NSW (though as a Queenslander I would hate to see it happen).

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

I think Peter Sterling would make an excellent Origin coach for NSW (though as a Queenslander I would hate to see it happen).

As a Queenslander himself, Peter Sterling would also hate it to happen

/ nsw's whinging that inglis is from nsw

 

[Coxy]

LOL @ comparing an infant Sterling moving from Toowoomba to NSW with his family to a late teenage Inglis moving from Kempsey to Brisbane.

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

same shit, different smell

 

[Professor47]

Obviously as a QLDER, I've got no complaints about Inglis playing for QLD. He is allowed to play for QLD right within the rules right? It's just 'technically' he should be playing for NSW? Is that correct? I have no idea.

Second of all, it's who he goes for and he's passionate about so who cares? Though I guess he shouldn't be allowed to play for QLD within the rules or whatever.

For eg. I would never play for the blues but if I 'WAS' a NRL player I would have to play for NSW. (Because I would have played all my footy in NSW) How good would that be? I'd publicly come out and say I support QLD and I'm a passionate QLDER as they come. The NSW fans would HATE me. Hahahah. I would have to sit out Origin though.

 

[Hamm.0]

same shit, different smell

Not really even in the same league. You know the selection criteria QUEENSLANDER and as such you know that QLD pulled a swifty getting G.I.

That said;


Eat a d1ck NSW!!! How did you ever let that slip?!!! [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. Almost as embarrassing as selecting White.
