I don't have a problem with the former fringe first graders, if that, being head coaches. I was just commenting on how they seem to be the most successful, generally speaking. There are a few exceptions.

What is Burgess up to these days? There is talk about him being called back to be an assistant for Souths.
Head coach at Warrington i believe.

Why are not a fan of his coaching? He was a good player for sure. Very good but not sure what he was like off the field. His ex-wife doesn't have anything good to say about him in public.
why would you want to be with a woman that never told a ounce of truth , all the wifes and partners supported sam

And if you look into why, I am not sure it's the type of person I would want leading anything.
Didn't he settle out of court for some kind of violence? Beat his wife's father and threathened her?

I don't know if that's true. I'm asking the question. No slander here.

Except his own wife.
His ex wife and father in law both lied under oath, and burgess got the case dismissed on appeal due to the fact they both lied. And the original judge who found burgess guilty was a mate of his father in law

In that case, maybe he's a very decent person off the field as well as a very good on-field player. It could have been worse for him. What happened to the Dragons De Belin was an outrage. He was an Origin player when he was stood down.

The cop who decided to charge De Belin is looking at 3~5 years behind bars for lying. I hope this cop gets/got punished as well. The judge who found him guilty the first time as well.

But De Belin's situation could been worse for him, too. He could have been locked up like Jaryd Hayne. That always struck me as very strange. How was she raped with her mother in the next room not having any idea? Didn't put up too much of a struggle. And now he has been acquitted I can say that.

Well it’s hard to follow any of that crap. That why I wouldn’t want any of that drama near my club. It’s just unwanted distraction.

I’d love a team if straighty 180’s

It's complicated. Legally speaking none of Burgess, de Belin, Hayne did anything illegal. So we could call them "straighty 180s".

I hear we are after Talagi. I am not sure why we would be. Just putting out what I heard. Can anyone confirm or deny?

mr.c - you seem to be in the know, can you shed some light on this?
