Suspend the trainer. Send a note to all teams that trainers are not to handle the balls at any time (as if that should be needed). I think the NRL needs to consider the role of trainers during games. As others are pointing out there’s a fair bit of coaching happening across teams, why is it a thing? Didn’t they try to change it in the past?
Panthers facing sanction after trainer SPRUNG using underhanded tactic
No, no. Much better to continue to chase the sugar hit rather than plan things for the longer term (even if it’s a 3 year plan!)
'Huge potential': Wallabies great backs ambitious idea to take Super Rugby to US ahead of home World Cup
Yeah can we just sit still for a couple of years, get some decent advertising and try to get some results…

Quick question. What happened to the news on the 3rd tier front? Club championship or what have you?
'Huge potential': Wallabies great backs ambitious idea to take Super Rugby to US ahead of home World Cup
They’ll be sharing the same home ground, might as well share some of the same facilities. It’s a reasonable financial decision to take. I tend to think that the Raiders and Brumbies should also be looking at a bit of sharing of facilities etc…Heck the Rebels and Storm probably should have been as well…
Share Bears: V’landys floats bizarre player swap proposal with Force which contravenes the NRL’s own rules
I think he is smart for it. I live in Tasmania and a huge percentage of people don’t realise that there are two codes of rugby. It’s just rugby. The Wallabies ironically have a bit of cut through as do the Storm, but most would assume that they’re somehow related.

Some would even say made up 😂

Hyperbole?

That was my guess as well. If you google it plenty of media outlets make the statement

I never reveal which League team I follow. Purely from the perspective that I can be an absolute pessimist against everything.
I think it’s quite reasonable to question a few aspects of this. The decision to not start it as a brand new club with it’s own identity and the claim that there are more than 200,000 members for the Bears are all reasonable questions. They don’t/won’t amount to anything

I’d hazard a guess and say that the number of actual members is somewhere in the vicinity of 10% of that number

The West Australian has it and I note they made the mistake of not distinguishing it from Union.

I was under the understanding that a lot of the heritage had been lost over time anyway as even the NSL had moved away from the traditional/cultural based football clubs?

I mean that’s 4x the amount of members that the Broncos have. It’s double the amount of memberships that Collingwood have!

We don’t 😂 Tasmanians don’t even trust people from the other half of the state

'Lying down in order to milk a penalty': Lawyer slams NRL over players diving after Preston fails at judiciary
Absolutely, I played a couple of seasons with them at the same time Adam was there. Car parts on a scrum machine is normally a pretty good indicator that it’s not a club flushed with cash 😂

And I can assure everyone that the club that Adam played for is not in an area well known for being part of the tweed coat set

I thought the only way to tackle Brown in that instance was a shoulder charge.
