BREAKING: NRL’s ‘line in sand’ moment as ‘sorry’ Leniu cops big ban for racial slur

The NRL has sent a clear message that it does not condone racism with Roosters prop Spencer Leniu suspended for eight matches for calling Broncos five-eighth Ezra Mam a “monkey” during the game in Las Vegas...........read more

Shows how far the game has come. 20 years ago Bryan Fletcher called Dean Widders a black see you next Tuesday, and all that happened to him was he was stripped of the Captaincy.

8 weeks is a stern punishment. Surely that sends a message….nope turn on the tv this morning and JT is on there sooking it’s not long enough and rabbiting on about colonialism.
If there has ever been a bigger victimhood embracing culture than current Australian Aboriginals I’d hate to see it.

Talk is Sezer will be dropped (no injury) for our first game. Bud at 7 and Galvin at 6.

 

[Tito Santana]

Sexton > Hutchinson

Playing reserve grade
Taaf looks ordinary too

Got some classy backs though.
I can't see too many wins coming their way tho.

I don’t get the hype with Taafe. He’s shit

That surprises me unless they believe Sticky may target him on his return to Canberra.
Was quite steady and controlled in his trial and I’m not sure that Galvin is going to be fast tracked over him, just yet.
Looking forward to this afternoon when we’ll all know.

No

That should keep all the cookers that have been feeding us how amazing he'll be pretty quite
for the next week or so....
Then again, The cookers probably didn't specify if he'd kill it for WT's or the Maggies...

I’m still not convinced Gavin will be in the run on side. Don’t be surprised if there’s a switch at the last minute and Sezer starts with Gavin on the bench.

I think the run on 13/bench has to be finalised an hour before kick.off?

That’s actually what I meant but put minute as to mean “ a late change”.
Thanks for the heads up Ink.

No worries hal. Not meaning to be pedantic... These old style things like late changes and the ol run around are in favour at Concord currently... Imagine stickys shock at a 33yo vet instead of a 0 game rookie at the kick.off 🤣
I think they might be ready

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Is Fitzgibbon the only rookie coach that has had success?

Barrett & Ciraldo failed. Are there more?

John Morris did alright

 

[weststigers]

John Morris did alright

Go John

 

[Halbrowne61]

John Morris did alright

And let’s hope he has more success !!

 

[upthetigers]

Seibold did well at Souths but he had a good roster.

 

[hank37w]

John Morris did alright

Not according to Cronulla, they punted him.

Don't know about anyone else but I believe he was going alright and deserved to get more time there.
