Josh Addo-Carr<\/strong>\u2019s removal from the Australian team after his involvement in a brawl at last weekend\u2019s Koori Knockout may not be the only issue for the star winger.<\/p>\n

There are increasing concerns about his future at the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

There had been rumours Canterbury were preparing to move him on. They were incorrect at the time \u2013 but it could become an option. At $500,000 a season, Addo-Carr is well paid, particularly for a winger, but his profile is valuable for the Bulldogs \u2013 as long as he is behaving.<\/p>\n

Addo-Carr is a fan favourite, but he is on the nose with some at Canterbury. There is a mixed view of him at every level of the club \u2013 from the board to the playing group. Some love him, but some expect more of him as a senior player.<\/p>\n

There is no question he is still a valuable contributor on the field, and he was the player of the tournament at last year\u2019s World Cup in the UK in the eyes of many. His ability is not in question.<\/p>\n

It is fair to say the Bulldogs have gone above and beyond to accommodate his every need and want. His outside activities and promotions for his own sponsors are all factored in to his workload. He is easily the club\u2019s highest profile player and that\u2019s why officials are bitterly disappointed he was at the centre of the Koori Knockout incident. It damages every part of his image \u2013 one the Bulldogs have encouraged him to foster.<\/p>\n

Addo-Carr has been talking privately about appealing his two-match ban for his role in the brawl and, if there are extenuating circumstances, he should.<\/p>\n

Having seen grainy footage of Addo-Carr throwing a punch during the incident, it\u2019s hard to argue with the decision of the ARL Commission. It is hard to understand why Addo-Carr was named for the Kangaroos on Tuesday, given the video of the incident was aired on Channel Nine News.<\/p>\n

Crichton still eyeing rugby shift<\/h3>\n

Angus Crichton<\/strong> is still looking at a code change with talks under way with two Super Rugby franchises.<\/p>\n

Crichton\u2019s agent, David Rawlings<\/strong>, says the addition of his client would help a \u201cbroken game\u201d, and he hit back at Rugby Australia amid accusations of exaggerated offers and deliberate leaks after a deal to move to rugby fell over during the week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Angus Crichton could be off to rugby union next year.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Getty<\/cite><\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t push an inflated figure or make the initial contact with the media outlet for the story in question, despite what [RA chief executive] Phil Waugh<\/strong> has been stating,\u201d Rawlings said. \u201cThis was a simple negotiation: a player with the right skill set, tenacity and experience to contribute immensely to a broken game, holding a genuine desire to get to a fair outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rawlings described the manner in which rugby officials had conducted themselves as \u201cconcerning\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had already sought the appropriate permission to negotiate from the Roosters,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we have a Super Rugby club with a well-thought-out plan to fast-track the transition. The deal almost does itself. You just need to have confidence in your processes to reach the right outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when a headline grab becomes more imperative than the actual transaction, such as in this instance, then it can spectacularly backfire. It\u2019s concerning behaviour. We have left the door ajar and have had two of the Super Rugby franchises already connect with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loz no gamble<\/h3>\n

Laurie Daley<\/strong> will be forced to stop working as a spokesperson for the TAB on Fox Sports programs if he is appointed NSW coach in the coming days.<\/p>\n

This column revealed last weekend Daley was being pushed by influential figures in the game and was still in the frame to make a stunning return to the Blues fold. That was rubbished by News Corp journalists, who declared Raiders coach Ricky Stuart<\/strong> the \u201c$1.01 favourite\u201d. Stuart has since pulled out of the process, and Daley is still very much in the frame.<\/p>\n

Daley will be allowed to continue as a host of the Big Sports Breakfast on Sky Sports Radio, as that is not seen as a concern when it comes to betting. \u201cWe are reviewing the entire betting and working for football clubs situation,\u201d ARL Commission chairman Peter V\u2019landys<\/strong> said. \u201cWhat I will say is Laurie\u2019s integrity is beyond reproach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right man for the job<\/h3>\n

With South Sydney\u2019s credibility on the line next year, Rabbitohs grand final skipper John Sutton<\/strong> has made a notable return to the club\u2019s coaching ranks after it appeared he was destined for a role with Souths Cares.<\/p>\n

It appeared the Rabbitohs had a desk job lined up for Sutton with his team role confined to being the \u201cblue shirt\u201d runner on the field on match days.<\/p>\n

Souths Cares \u2014 established in 2006 as an \u201cindependent, public benevolent institution\u201d \u2014 is a great organisation and it was a good job, but Sutton appears to belong at the coal face.<\/p>\n

He gives the coaching staff grit and South Sydney DNA \u2014 things they need following the departure of Sam Burgess<\/strong> in acrimonious circumstances late in the season after he questioned what he believed was the preferential treatment of stars Latrell Mitchell<\/strong> and Cody Walker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ire of the tigers<\/h3>\n

Wests Tigers are privately unhappy about former coach Ivan Cleary<\/strong> following his speech on Wednesday night at Penrith\u2019s annual awards when he revealed his delight at an offer from then chairman Dave O\u2019Neill<\/strong> to return to the Panthers.<\/p>\n

Cleary snr\u2019s response as he recalled the offer for the Penrith faithful was, \u201cF— yeah\u201d. We will never know, but maybe Cleary decided to reveal that moment because Balmain great Ben Elias<\/strong>, speaking at an official grand final lunch last Friday, referred to Cleary as \u201cthe man who f—ed the Tigers\u201d.<\/p>\n

Elias was talking about Cleary\u2019s short stint at the club in 2017-18 and some signings that did not work out. Three competitions in a row and four straight grand finals later, Cleary can put Elias and the Tigers very much in the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n

More than a \u2018Cog\u2019 in the machine<\/h3>\n

Nathan Cleary<\/strong> has revealed the key to the greatest grand final heist in history: the most unheralded Panther on the field, Jack Cogger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When Jarome Luai<\/strong> left the field with half an hour remaining and the Panthers on the back foot, it looked like their premiership dream was over. But the preparation Cleary and Cogger had done while Luai was recovering from his dislocated shoulder paid real dividends.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m getting all of the praise,\u201d Cleary said, \u201cbut I think the key to what happened for me was Jack Cogger unlocking me. Without him seeing the right things and saying the right things I couldn\u2019t have done what I did. I owe it to him and obviously the rest of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truly grand finale<\/h3>\n

This job can put you in special places on occasions.<\/p>\n

I remember I had the misfortune of standing in the tunnel with Justin Hodges<\/strong>\u2032 parents as they were preparing to run onto the field to congratulate their son in the last minute of the 2015 grand final. But Michael Morgan<\/strong>, Kyle Feldt<\/strong> and eventually Johnathan Thurston<\/strong> ruined that moment as North Queensland defeated Brisbane in extra time.<\/p>\n

On Sunday night, I watched the Panthers\u2019 historic grand final charge unfold sitting behind the exercise bike near the Penrith bench.<\/p>\n

I could hear every word amid the organised chaos as they searched at one point for Scott Sorensen<\/strong>, who was in the dressing room after suffering a head knock, and I could hear the calls for Moses Leota<\/strong> to get on the field.<\/p>\n

Less than three metres away from me, the bench players were riding every move on the field. However, the coolest person throughout the tumultuous finale was the badly injured Jarome Luai<\/strong>. He had been injected with several needles and treated by physiotherapists, but was unable to complete the full 80 minutes.<\/p>\n

As Cleary crossed for his match-winning try, I turned behind me to watch his mum, Bec, lose her mind as she was surrounded by her other children in arguably the greatest moment of her son\u2019s achievement-filled life.<\/p>\n

In the moments after full-time, Ivan Cleary made sure his whole family was on the field with he and Nathan to enjoy the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about really \u2013 it\u2019s about these boys there and their families,\u201d Ivan said. \u201cIt\u2019s about enjoying the moment like this with my family. These things don\u2019t happen often in your life, and last year I didn\u2019t get them on the field, so I wanted to make sure that they were there with Nathan and myself for this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know how good this feels, but when I returned to Penrith and at one point we were 2-8, there were plenty of people asking questions about whether I was the right person for the job. When I got here, there was more work to do than I thought, and we had to make some tough decisions and a night like this is the reward.\u201d<\/p>\n

When I put it to him that he had matched Jack Gibson<\/strong>\u2019s achievement of three premierships in a row (at Parramatta from 1981-83), Cleary was taken aback, but he knows there\u2019s no denying it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember those Parramatta days \u2013 I remember watching it \u2013 and to think that we are here now … well, it\u2019s just hard to believe,\u201d Ivan said. \u201cBut the hard work that these players put in day after day, the long hours working on themselves physically and mentally, they are the reason we are in this position.\u201d<\/p>\n

When I asked if he could now be referred to as a \u201csupercoach\u201d, the term that was initially used for Gibson, Ivan replied: \u201cYou can call me anything you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
