The Parramatta Eels have chosen to “part ways” with coach Brad Arthur, effective immediately. He’s been sacked. The Eels are sitting down in 14 place on the NRL ladder, having struggled with injuries and poor form. At some point the club needed to make a change, and with Arthur being one of the longest termed…

In this episode we do a deep dive into Trent Barretts coaching career at the Manly Sea Eagles. We question why he thinks he deserves another chance to coach an NRL club. We give our thoughts on his time at the Sea Eagles, and then we try to sell him as a coach to a…

Rumours are getting stronger that the Tigers are about to tap Mick Potter on the shoulder, telling him his services are no longer required. The Tigers have had a horrid year, and their roster at the beginning of the season would have many believing they would be challenging for the 8, not looking to avoid…
The North Queensland Cowboys sit in 15th place on the NRL ladder after winning just 4 of their 13 games this season. The word is that Neil Henry is about to be given his marching orders, and when you look at the the teams results, that is completely understandable. I would ask one simple question…
With Ricky Stuart making the decision that he would stand down from his post as New South Wales coach we have seen a lot of maneuvering among potential replacements over the last few days. Brad Fittler, Laurie Daley and Trent Barrett have all be mentioned at the top of everyone’s list of candidates along with…
Well the predictions of doom and gloom over the crowd figure were off the mark but the predictions of a Queensland clean sweep were spot on. While New South Wales seemed to put up more of a fight, the fact is Queensland were not at their rampaging best and STILL managed to come away with…
You are probably wondering why I have not listed the Queensland and New South Wales sides heading into State Of Origin three. The reason is, it doesn’t really matter who was named. Queensland have named a very strong side, they have dropped Ben Hannant for Petero Civoniceva. They looked great. New South Wales on the…
The Queensland Rugby League team has completely dominated New South Wales in game two of the State Of Origin series, running away with a 34-6 victory. The win gives Queensland a record five series wins in a row, and makes Mal Meninga the most successful coach in State Of Origin history. To say this was…
This pretty much sums up Super League this move… The Huddersfield Giants have signed St George/Illawarra Tampons coach Nathan Brown to a three year deal. Brown, who’s long reign at the St George/Illawarra has been nothing short of a tragic mess, has shown nothing at all to suggest that he would be a good coach…
Trent Barrett has signed a two year deal with the Cronulla Sharks that will see him play with the club for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. The deal is said to be worth around $300,000 with a third party agreement with Channel Nine. Barrett needed to get a release from Wigan to get this deal…
The rumblings started late last year but now its been all but confirmed that Trent Barrett wants to end his stint in Super League and head back home to the NRL for what is being called one last season. Why anyone would want to sign Barrett for just one year is beyond me, but there…
Well its that time of the year again when the Poms get together and star showing the world how little they know about Rugby League. After a great season in which he was head and shoulders above his team mates and any other player in the Super League competition, Trent Barrett has NOT won the…
The Penrith Panthers have denied a report in Rugby League Week that they are making a bold bit to lure Wigan standoff Trent Barrett back to the National Rugby League. Barrett is rumoured to be unhappy in England and the Panthers have been rumoured to be ready to swoop in and sign him, however the…
Does three decades of losing make people crazy? Can you bring up a generation of sports fans that are so ill informed that they don’t realize what they are seeing is the death of their own game? After decades of being on the wrong end of beatings at International level, the British game has taken a stand and…
With so many Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands players in Super League you have to wonder what would happen if the RFL managed to make a real decision in regards to the number of Imports in Super League and force many of these players to head back home. There is no doubt that there are a…
Yeah its just a trial, but the first footy match of the season was very much appreciated in my lavish surroundings. It was an entertaining game, some big hits and a surprise winner. While some say trial games mean nothing, I disagree. Ive seen to many teams in two many sports write off poor trial…
Despite Trent Barrett being send to the sin bin twice, Australia looked pretty comfortable in their win over Great Britain. There was a lot of pressure on them heading into this game but as we have seen in the past, Australia just eats it up. I think the Australian side has played better and better…
Well, Andrew Johns has made his return and Brett Kimmorley is badly out of form. Craig Gower just isn’t playing well at all while Matt Orford has never shown the ability to lift his game to the next level. So what should NSW selectors do this week when they announce the side to hopefully win…
