The 12th edition: Sackings, Backings and the teenage gunslinger

from The Grapple · host The Grapple

Our heroes are enthralled by a chat with Cowboys legend and Sharks assistant coach Josh Hannay; who reflects on the footy adage ‘if you’re good enough, you’re old enough,’ and his journey since being named to debut as a 16 year old schoolboy at Townsville Granmar, and subsequently banned for being too young. His journey obviously extended to the glory of state of origin, and evolving into one of the games best coaching prospects. So he’s gonna chat about that stuff too. The intrepid trio also weigh in on the Jackson Topine saga, with Josh and Johnny recalling their own days of cruel, unusual but character building training under legendary cowboys drill Sargent Billy Johnstone. Some number crunching is carried out under the searing lights of the grapple bunker- with the team working out if calls for kick off bans are justified by the number of concussions from kickoffs. Sackings and backings are discussed, with the removal of Jason Demetriou proving once again that all roads lead to Uncle Wayne.
