Star players dropping like flies, why would you be a coach?
PVL reckons its all on the players, now the refs seem beyond reproach? 
The Queensland Teams are challenged to show some starch…
For two of their coaches we say “ beware the ides of March”.....

Et Tu Brute? Well No Jules, not really....and don't call us brutes.

Far from being brutes, our heroes this week show the slightest whiff of culture that isn't derived from The Simpsons, South Park, Marvel or Star Wars. Shakespeare in fact is the source of musing this week as the vultures circle the not yet deceased carcasses of several NRL coaches. But are they really in trouble? Or are their names simply being tossed up as conversation filler on punditry shows, led by materially compromised panellists, in need of slapping’s of putty to cram between ads and prolonged narrated montages?

Only time will tell but no death riding from the two pillars of integrity this week. 

In a turn up for the books, the show is led out of the barriers by Rugby and the absolute spectacle that is the 6 Nations. The seemingly long bow, bereft of any glimpses in the mirror, drawn by a former All Black great, and the enduring charge of Le Bleu.

The Rise of The Tillies runs a close second and arguments abound as accusations are cast like Redford in A River Runs through it  and rebutted  like a Rafa base line forehand at Roland Garros. 

Then the nitty gritty gets worked over like all the great franchises with sequels- 

 Xerri v Gus I,  Gordy v Reyno III, Gordy v Madge VII, Gordy v Broncos XXVI, Grapple v PVL CVII, and Grapple v the Refs MMCLXXXV.

When the 15th of March rolls around each year the 14th says "Beware the ides of The Grapple"

Sage advice 14.
