Coach Killer:

Jason Taylor
Michael Hagan
Daniel Anderson
Stephen Kearney
Brad Arthur
Ricky Stuart
Jim Tomsula
Neil Henry

(Not to mention 3 Blues coaches)

Hayne is a coach killer even when Parra was doing well. The board buckled because Taylor said he would go if Hayne got the flick.
Henry had the Titans on the right track last season. The bottom line won again and Titans will live to regret this decision.

Why not let Henry finish the season with the team? It's only a couple more games.
You respect the contract, respect the guy, and keep the respect of the players for the club.
Sacking Henry now is only bad for club morale.

It's the prelim finals in my league this week,what do people think the outcome will be? Not sure if he has trades left but this is his team from last week

Me

Smith McInnes
Fifita Taupau Brown
Taumalolo JDB Gallen Crichton JTurbo
Pearce DCE
BJ Scott
Munster Mansour Edwards

Him

Smith Granville
Wallace Tamou
McGuire Papalii Glenn Stimson
ARey DCE Lolohea
TTurbo Mitchell
Cotric RTS Johnston French

You will win as his team is a wet paper bag.

Sick of Buhrer posting dud 60 minute scores instead of being an 80 minute gun. Any second rower under 400k that isn't sideways?

Maybe Fitzgibbon? He seems to do alright at the moment

Trenmt Merrin if he gets his starting spot back.

Josh McGuire I think is an option, or look at Matt Eisenhuth.

Aiden Guerra might also be worth a look.

Whoever you get only has to be useful for 2 games.

Lachlan Fitzgibbon might be worth a look - he appears to have the 80 minute back row spot that used to be Buhrers' - averaging over 70 last 3 weeks - although he has scored a try each game

Am I silly to consider putting Eisenhuth as a R over any of McInnes,Taupau,JDB or JTurbo? He has been damn solid

Apart from McInnes the rest should score more.

I share these thoughts, the titans looked solid the first half of the year despite their awful injury run. played hard for the full 80 which made me root for them

not sure what happened the second half of the year, but they never recovered. i thought henry was squeezing the most out of a solidly mediocre 17, particularly in the backs department

Yesterdays games killed my round and and season and ended up with a pathetic 880.  Was making rankings but that just bumped me right back.  Aim will be to sit inside the top 1000 I guess but very disappointing.  My team consisted of DCE, Turbo, Croker, Cotric, Rapa, Edwards and Slater.

Funny thing is, the lowest scorer in all my forward was McInnes, and after that it was JDB's 25 and up.  The backs beside Cleary bent me over and gave it to me.  Walker and Lolohea in my NPR's which both scored more than all my playing backs bar Cleary.

Gonna use my last trade and get Murray or Fitzgibbon.  Captain choice I will be looking at a left field option.

LEG END

Reports circling that Adam Blair to the Knights will be announced later this week. Also James Graham supposedly failed a medical evaluation so the Knights didn't make an offer.

... Fuck.

It's hard to know who to believe anymore. I was reading the other day that Blair looked like taking a big offer from the Warriors and that Graham had supposedly signed with the Dragons. Only way to know for sure is an official announcement from the clubs.

On a side note, I was just reading about the Henry sacking at the Titans and I cant believe that the board will be giving Hayne a say on who to appoint as their next coach..........have they lost the plot or what???
