Battler's NRL Round 19

brain smith leaving the knights next year to coach the roosters.

Is that actually confirmed?

Politis must have offered him a bucketload of coin for him to leave Newcastle

Bad demotion = bad career move. 

Holy shit!!! WTF????  

And they play each other in 2 weeks

lol i meant

yep, knights board confirmed it.

best club re-builder in the business. roosters looking to re-build and have gone all in, knights couldnt match the offer.

This re-builder will need a whole construction crew to fix that mob!

Lets go butthead Manly girls

That and a few good trades and a some good drafts. Ooops, wrong sport.

Chooks are still doomed for the next 1-2 years. Mo $$$.

Um that's two blatant calls - "ref" is steering this one for the Sharks.

Still has 1 year left on his contract with the Knights who say they won't stand in his way.

yes he did, till the end of 2010, smith asked for a release for his final year, the roosters offered him a 4 year contract.

Thank you Manly girls - you do your job and I'll do mine

I wouldn't let Joey coach the u7's....................yet

Thanks for your coach AB.  We'll need him.  Hopefully he's got his shit together.  What can you tell me about him?  What can we gutted Chook's barrackers expect from him?

And sorry about my boys losing your money tonight.  What a bloody shame.  We had this thing sewn up and NZ did naught all day.

There is a reason why we are Spooners....

HoH, he is an intense man. Polar opposite of Freddy I guess. What he will do though is put everyone on notice - senior player or not - if you're not in it for the cause, get the fuck out.

He has a good eye for young talent and has a knack of getting the best out of other clubs' rejects.

He'll be good for you boys, I'm just pissed he won't be here next year
