Back in the day ... it was a well known fact .... that signing on to play for Manly was a very good way of getting an Australian guernsey .... with Bozo as the Australian Coach/Selector ... or maybe it was just coincidence .... (wry smile) .....
Today, we have the current Australian Coach .... Big Mal footy never did anything for me Maninga .... employed as a director of football at Titans ..... openly encouraging Mitchell to come to the Titans ... because he, Mal, can help him with both his off field issues and his on field issues ....... really ...
Is this a conflict of interest? .... an unfair advantage ? .... at worst, bordering on corruption ?
To solve any problem or impression of dirty tricks .... The NRL introduced a rule that the Australian coach could not have any club affiliation .... seemed to work well .... but with Maninga we have gone back to the old days ...... Should the Australian Coach be at least seen to be impartial .. ?
