Best news all day. Knowing the NSWRL though, they'll probably appoint a dimwit that will make Fittler look like Jack Gibson.

“State of Origin legend Andrew Johns believes a media "pile on" contributed to Brad Fittler quitting as New South Wales”



Cry me a river mate!!!

How many careers did you screw over with your shite handling of players over that period.

1. Limited minutes (between 3-4 to 10-12 mins)
2. Playing players out of position and expecting miracles
3. Destroying player’s confidence
4. Dropping players after 1 game due to your incompetence (as noted in points 1 and 2)
5. All the waffle and dribble spoken which had no meaning

Etc etc etc

Jesus he's a fragile little ********.

NRL pin-up Reece Walsh has been embroiled in a grand final week drama after being involved in a spat with a teenager at a fan day in Sydney on Thursday.

The Broncos superstar retaliated to a comment made by a young Panthers fan, who told Walsh that Penrith prop forward Moses Leota “was going to take your head off” on Sunday night.

Walsh, as he was being escorted from the fan forum back to the team hotel, appeared to tell the fan “I’ll take your mum’s”.

Apparently the guy who said it to him is feeling shaken.

Well maybe don't tell a player that his head's about to be taken off. That would probably lessen the chance of someone saying something mean to you.

That's is true, but also depending on the age of the teenager the stupidity to berate an adult but then be scared when berated back isn't that shocking.

Per the wording HBs quote I've also decided to picture it as Walsh being dragged away kicking and screaming abuse

Little punk talked smack. Walsh clapped back and put him in his place. Non issue for mine, play on.

Judging from the overall fans reactions, Penrith, Brisbane and neutral, the only people that think this is an issue are a few journos looking to make a cheap buck.

Anyone who thinks Reece Walsh is suddenly going to start behaving himself is not in touch with reality ..

He is at the right club though ..

Definitely not a big issue. Pretty funny a professional athlete feels the need to snap back to a young fan with a personal insult though.

Reece needs to harden up.

Yep, This is my thoughts also

Just walk away and smile that you are more successful and well known whereas the kids is unlikely to reach those heights

Silly to bite back in my opinion

LOL nah its fine. Kids are too mouthy these days anyway, about time people started putting them back in their place. 😂

Disagree
Yes idiots need to be put in their place but Walsh is the only one in that scenario that has anything to lose

I think he should smile and walk away knowing that he will likely be more successful and richer than a pimple faced kid with a big mouth.
