Lee Hagipantelis' refusal to obey a request from the Holman Barnes Group, the 60 per cent majority shareholder of Wests Tigers<\/a>, to stop constantly putting himself out in the media is the major reason he is set to lose his job<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Tigers chairman holds regular long lunches with journalists who support him and blame others at the club for the Tigers' demise.<\/p>\n

The media campaign has upset the Group, who also run the powerful Wests Ashfield Leagues Club, and have ordered the review of the club.<\/p>\n

But the complicating factor is that if Hagipantelis goes, his company's – Bryden's Lawyers – $1 million sponsorship could go with him.<\/p>\n

'Major surprise' as Warrior told he can leave\ufeff<\/h3>\n

Warriors<\/a> dynamo Josh Curran has been given permission to negotiate with rival clubs in a major surprise – and has at least two Sydney teams keen to sign him.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old has established himself as one of the Warriors' best strike forwards over the past two seasons and has represented both the Indigenous All Stars and Prime Minister's XIII.<\/p>\n

He was a regular member of the Warriors' squad throughout their charge from second last to the top four this year, playing 23 matches, adding impetus from the bench in many games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The tough backrower is signed until the end of next season but the Warriors, on the back of such a fine year in 2023, need to find room in the salary cap to upgrade their best up-and-comers and that is believed to be the reason that Curran is likely to be moved on.<\/p>\n

Broncos poised to lose Paix after demotion\ufeff<\/h3>\n

The Broncos<\/a> look like losing hooker Cory Paix, who isn't happy at being relegated to the club's third choice hooker in the big end of season matches.<\/p>\n

Paix played 15 matches during the year – all from the bench – but only one after round 14.<\/p>\n

\"BRISBANE,<\/p>\n

Coach Kevin Walters preferred his son Billy and Tyson Smoothy to Paix in the crucial games and I'm told Paix isn't happy.<\/p>\n

A couple of clubs have shown interest in Paix \u2026 and the Broncos don't need three hookers – so he's likely to be cut loose in coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Sky Blues coaching search incoming\ufeff<\/h3>\n

It's not just a male coach that the NSW Blues will be searching for, for 2024 and beyond.<\/p>\n

I've heard they may also soon need a women's coach, with incumbent Kylie Hilder in the sights of a couple of NRLW clubs who are prepared to offer her a fulltime gig.<\/p>\n

Premiers Newcastle are one, with their successful coach Ron Griffin set for a promotion to NSW Cup next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
