And fucking Kata is fucking still fucking there!!! I nearly threw a stubbie at my TV when, after a big break by the Warriors, he ran from dummy-half, took contact, and killed the play dead. Why. Won't. He. Go. Away!!!
Adam Blair can fuck off. And he can take Jazz Tevaga with him.
The Storm are not in great form, but they should still murder us.

lets talk coaches in the gun, because the NRL loves a coach sacking
Nathan Brown was given an awful lot of leeway when their roster was a disaster. Players were bought, and they are as bad as ever. Might be first out the door.
Ivan Cleary would be in the gun if Penrith could afford to sack him. What a fucking disaster of an appointment that is looking, especially with how much they are paying him. The team looks well short of where Griffen had them.
Seibold has probably this season and the next, as there is no way the Broncos Board is going to want to admit they made a mistake. He's got a hell of a job in front of him, as their spine is worse than the Warriors (at least we have a fullback)
If the Cowboys continue to stink the joint out with what should be a pretty decent side, Green will be in trouble. Especially as the Origin period will gut them.
Imagine the pressure on Kearney if we didn't just extend his contract.
Obviously the Dogs absolutely suck, but what could anyone else do with that roster?
I vote Brown for fist out, because Origin will take out their two best players, and they will be proper fucked then.
@mariner4life crazy how many coaches are on a knife edge. Is it a reflection on the current stable of talent, or all about coaching quality? It does feel like we've got a lot more young and raw talent knocking about, and some massive talents have retired over the last few years.
Would be interesting to see some kind of analysis of player ratings versus contract $ to see if guys are earning more now, whereas a few years back they might not have quite as much earning potential. Thinking about that broadly as opposed to just the marque positions that always demand massive $$ if you've got the goods.
NRL, never a dull moment!!!

wait, shit! First casualty is Phil Gould, whose 5 year plan hasn't resulted in tangible on-field success in 8 years. Has fired some people though. And then re-hired them.

The best thing to happen to the Panthers. Gould's ego destroys anything he controls and he gets way too much love from his boys in the Sydney media.

You'll forgive Cleary for anything :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes: :face_blowing_a_kiss:

If he got rid of Gould they should give him an Aussie knighthood (if they have such things over there).

I get that a coach will always have a favourite in their team but this Kata-strophe has to end. He's terrible. Also the ANZAC game should be rotated between Auckland and Melbourne.

I have a rewatch of Infinity War scheduled for the same time as this match .. and TBH I don’t care that I’ll miss it.
Useless Thanos, he didn’t take Kata in the snap.

That guy is seriously overrated. His premierships were won by sides basically handed to him. His NSW teams were absolutely stacked but he still managed to get whitewashed by Fatty's rabble. And wtf has been going on with Penrith? Sack coach, sack successor, rehire originally sacked coach. His so-called genius is incredibly well hidden.

Tohu Harris is in the halves. WTF did I say when they let Johnson go - I fucking said we'd wind up playing Harris and Hiku in the halves this year.
What a pack of retards.

No Tuivasa-Sheck, no Green, no hope. Just get through this round.
