If you play with fire, you’re gonna get burned, and I can think of 278,146 better things to do than wind up a pissed off Kiwi with a history of snotting people that are getting on his nerves. Mad Monday is always a fun time for NRL clubs. They get destroyed on the drink, act…
Talk about something coming from out of the blue! If you haven’t hear yet, Brad Fittler will be relieved of his coaching duties at the Sydney Roosters at the end of this season and he will be replaced by Newcastle’s current coach Brian Smith.

Michael Hagan jumped before he was pushed today, calling a surprise press conference to announce he had quit as Parramatta Eels coach due to family reasons.
