Also worth a mention, there’s a bloke that’s just lobbed here for pre-season training with the local team in the Q Cup, Northern pride, Todd Carney, think his name his, heard good things about him.

He will play NRL again. I saw him last time while he was exile play up here. You will see him again in the NRL.

Fittler on the roof! NSW Blues confirm new State of Origin coach

As a Queenslander I find it hard to understand the objection from south of the border over this decision. The only NSW player with coaching ability, with the same dedication and knowledge, from the last generation of winning before the big turn down is Freddy. He’s unconventional, but convention is not working. Anyone want to list their contenders of: people who can do the job or want to do the job?

What’s the stat when an outside centre is that dangerous he draws in the opposing centre and winger on suspicion and doesn’t get the ball, it goes straight to the winger and skips in for a try.

Which Kangaroos are providing the best value for money?

Thanks for the clarification there Matt, seems like Maloney ticked all the boxes and earned the first dibs on the halftime oranges. Cronulla’s outlook on it seems incorrect there.As far as the coaches rant and being hung out as a pariah for not agreeing with a list of decisions I am sure he is not Robinson Crusoe with his thoughts but has said enough is enough. I even read a Guru’s comment on here saying it’s not what he said it’s how he said it. Really? Facts are facts however they are presented. It’s past the point of concern. It might be an idea after too many lemonades but why don’t they get some QCup and Jim Beam Cup refs in that have never had contact with NRL refereeing coaches and give them a shot. There will be an adjustment period to the teams that play to the current set of inforcements as to those that play to the rule book they have always known but it would be interesting

Who's right in the NRL referees argument?

Put the Maloney binning to the side for the moment and the obstruction of kick chasers is well and truly a grey area this year. Some are deemed a professional foul and others are play on. If you obstruct a chaser on the way to the ball it is a penalty. If you do it when that player is a chance of scoring a try it is a professional foul and the bin should be used.The Oscar worthy performance of some players add another shade of grey to it but there is 2 refs and two touchjudges, surely an indiscretion can be picked up by one of them .

Big Daddy, Bagging it with stupid names? Fussball= German for association football. Sosha= Short for association football, where the name soccer comes from. As mentioned at the start I was trying to avoid the call it football/call it soccer conversation which I have inadvertently started. Lesson learnt. Thanks for the tip.
