There are some things that I just cannot ever understand about the NRL and it is the way players, and now a senior coach, announce mid-season that they are going elsewhere next season.
The current Brisbane Broncos coach has been told today he is being punted in favour of super-coach Wayne Bennett who is currently at Newcastle.
What does an announcement like this do for morale at both clubs ??
It's a ridiculous state of affairs and I hope (don't think) it will ever happen in our game.
How would you go if you're playing in a grand final for one side having already signed for the following season with the one you're playing against.
They generally seem to manage OK with the mid season signings but I suspect that's because the movements are so common.
Does very little for club loyalty which is virtually non-existent
Pardon my ignorance, but are the Broncos any chance of challenging this year?

Agree - it's been like this for too long.
Chris - they're currently 6th on the ladder, I doubt they can seriously challenge.
In way this happened to us last time, and if our first six rounds of next year are crap, then odds are the Roos rumours will begin.
