Swain not the best example - he was too easily baited and ended up becoming a target for opposition and a card magnet.

Seems to have wound it back though, but the reputational damage might be done.

Swain was the perfect example. He was effective and up to the task of doing what so many did not want to do. True, he needed the control that Canham shows... but he was incredibly effective. As an All Black fan, I hated what he did to Tupaea...but as an Australian rugby fan, I was like 'that is EXACTLY the kind of mongrel' that Australian sides need. I stand by that belief today.

Just heard that representatives from two Shute Shield clubs were in attendance yesterday to see Heenan in action.

Will be telling if he takes a role in Sydney that he does in fact want to move into professional coaching as heading down to SS seems to be a logical step to bulk out the resume.

i believe there is only 1 shute club looking for a coach and thats sydney uni and they look close to securing their coach and from what i hear i dont believe its heenan.

If Phil Mooney wants another crack at a Director of Rugby job, there's about to be an opening just down the road from his old employer.

Sounds like Michael Wood has gone from potential hero to a bit of a zero reputation wise down at Crosby.

I didn’t notice it much live but lots of Brothers supporters I’ve spoken too since the game have been critical about some baiting incidents towards Bond which clearly ended up biting the team in the arse.

Seemed like he took his eye off the ball and on the man in the 2nd half
