Isn’t Jackson Hastings a serial destabilisor?

NRL Pressure Gauge: Origin stars, fading veterans, desperate players on final chance - who needs to bounce back in 2025

Spoon for me

Round 1 Predicted Teams: Knights - Five halves options but no standout playmaker, pack lacks punch

Nope….no other coach could improve that roster

Titans dont have much soul or identity. It’s literally what you get on the GC. Lots of everything without a clear culture

I would be looking closely at Brown and pay him well for 2 years. He knows he can do better and that a longer contract would be for a lot less. I think this player has way more to give and could be part of a premiership team. A change of club might just inspire him to realise his full potential. He can play

Contract circus boosts Brown’s bank balance but could be costly to reputation of wannabe 'franchise player'

You wouldn’t want them both in a room with one pie

'Every one of my mates rang': Smith clarifies link to Sydney club as rumours swirl

If he trains better than his colleagues, he or anyone else deserves his spot in the team

Great player – i suspect a change of clubs would do him the world of good with fresh motivation. Any club that could, should.

Rival club emerges as Brown destination after manager tests open market for Eels star

Wow, when I look at 6, 7 and 8…..even 3, I’m starting to think Dragons are a rough chance to make the Top 4

Round 1 Predicted Teams: Dolphins - Woolf hungry to win after Wayne’s exit, plenty of bite in new-look pack

I guess it’s a selling point to convince them to sign initially. Once that happens they obviously think they can provide an environment whereby the player would never want to action the clause.
Not working well though.

'Leaked within minutes': Agent slams NRL clubs after Eels star shopped to rivals

Yes and I saw some in a field in England once after a lock-in at some pub on the hill. We ate some lollies and then there they were…..

Round 1 Predicted Teams: Bulldogs - Sexton needs to kick on, wing up for grabs, rising star could be benched

Yep – missing the 8 for me

All hail King Gutho and Captain Cook. Lead us into the depth of battle and may no man shy from the duty of victory…….unless interchanged of course…….in which case…may he return strengthened to wreak despair on the enemy

'Fight for everything': Flanagan makes surprise call on Dragons captaincy

Nice – thanks for taking it in good humour….its my ‘thing’….keeps me busy by allowing me to be regularly outraged

The NRL Coaches Pressure Gauge: Benji under the pump, Maguire enters lion's den and can Ricky survive again?

Should ‘have’…..as in ‘should’ve’.
Should OF is not correct.

My thoughts exactly

NRL News: Foran set for Benji-esque role, lean Latrell turns heads, May the marathon man

I love that

Round 1 Predicted Teams: Broncos - Maguire on mission to put steel in show ponies but injury, ban raise questions

You’ve got to have him on the bench gere you can see him, or he will eat everyone’s lunch

Round 1 Predicted Teams: Dragons - half a headache for Flanagan to reach finals

So that’s ‘no’ then?

Pant’s T20 fireworks display gives India the edge as Australia’s Trophy hopes fade despite Boland machine's excellence

Not a Broncs fan Tony but living in SEQld you can’t help but be up-to-date. I remember a lot of hype about Shea Moylan’s potential
So much so, that I’m surprised he only played 1 game

One-hit wonders: The Broncos players who never got a second game

It would be great fielding in close to him and getting in his way.

'Absolute clown behaviour': ICC hit 'sook' Kohli with feather touch for Konstas bump, India under fire over selection shock

Yes – i think it has to be kept clean. I would have liked to have seen a suspension.
It’s just not cricket

Yep – seems he could earn a fatter cheque in Super League but he wants to stay here with his young family. That would be the same family that his fast fading career relies on for dosh. I wonder if he has even consulted the mother of his children to arrive at that decision. Perhaps he did and she said “No Anthony, we couldn’t possibly manage without you. Stay home and get paid heaps less so we can kiss you goodnight (when you’re home).” Also, “we couldn’t possibly live in Blighty for a couple of years while you make some coin. It’s so grey and cold….”

Milford goes 'full circle' with return to Broncos feeder club

I expect that would be in his and other players contracts as to behaviour that damages the brand (the club). I expect that the NRL would insist on clubs having policies and processes that deal with this sort of thing in the interest of the sport.
Whether he gets paid or not would be part of that.
Having said that, most (but certainly not all) people can have traffic or criminal indiscretions in their life without repercussions from their employer. For many, their employer wouldn’t even know and to be fair it may have very little to do with one’s work.
Ezra Mam is living in shame every time he leaves his front door. Not everything is measured by money.

NRL hands down lengthy ban for Mam with no All Stars loophole after court issues 'disgraceful slap on the wrist'
