            • You think he's not going to put a point across that the guy he endorses is well capable ? 

              what's he going to say " the guy I pay to coach is a shitcunt nuffie " ?  

               

               

              It's actually a very vanilla statement when trying to indicate you're praising your coach.  No mentons of " great " or " fantastic " coach.  Just a " Brad gets a player from A to B ". Yeah so does a fucking Toyota Camry .  

        • Yeah aged liked fine wine, my word i was off on that.

          • Please note that the Mushroom and me do not drink fine wine.....I'm quiet partial to Yellowtail at $7 a bottle.

            Stay with the Cheap retorts LB, it works (apparently) for Chiefy and Jimmy.

  • The question really is who replaces O'Neill? Is anybody currently in line to automatically take over or do they have to start looking and hiring someone?

    • cayless

      • Fuck no! Please ask whatever deity you pray to for Parra to have some balls and get rid of that bloke. What qualifications does he have besides being an ex player and a shit coach.

        We need to move on from the old boys mentality and just hire the best people. 

      • Not bad he's done well with the coaching gig this year

      • What about Albo? Yes or No?

        • Maybe Cumberland Eel could make it a trio Chiefy, Wong and CE .....I wonder who will be the brains trust?

    • Not really because the role is fairly undeveloped in the industry. Football department GM's are a relatively new thing in the NRL. There aren't a huge pool of young candidates to choose from. Unless the club goes and gets an established name like Frank Ponissi, I don't expect O'Neill's replacement to be particularly well known. The club might even appoint an interim GM like Nathan Brown to get us through the off season before looking for a long term replacement.

"Iongi might be the sacrificial pawn in this saga. Worst case he gets 2 games for bringing the game into disrepute. Munster and Holmes only got similar for coke, so definitely not worse than this. They may look at it as short term pain long term…"
