    Do any players get better after leaving Storm?

    As people have pointed out, there are many players that have played equally well, or better, either before or after their Storm careers. But it has to be said that there are more players who perform worse than better. The issues is why. I guess the suggestion is that it is down to Bellamy's...

    "louder!!"

    The "Louder" thing: anytime fans need to be told how to cheer it's a problem. I'd like to see them leave it off and let us make noise as we see fit. That said, it did seem to make people yell louder. I don't get into it and prefer it off but can take it or leave it. Anthem: it's always weird...

    Hayne to the NFL???

    Bingo! Now this man truly watches NFL! Only spot he might make it is punter, as he has a massive boot on him.

    Jarryd Hayne to the NFL!

    I admire him in a way for believing in himself, but I just can't see how he is any chance of making an NFL team. Players as athletic as him spend years in High School and College learning the game and most still need one or two years in the pros before making it. The playbook of an NFL team is...

    I was injured too

    Ahh, the old "you must have never played the game" argument. f**k off mate. Or read my post properly. I said that you "don't NEED to do anything physical with your head" and that's true. Any head contact is INCIDENTAL and not part of what you are trying to do. I'm not denigrating Burgess'...

    I was injured too

    I can't believe that as a Parra fan I am going to defend a Dogs player but this is the best post in the thread. For all the others who just want to put the boot in because they don't like Reynolds, it is much harder to play Rugby League with a busted shoulder than something wrong with your...

    OT: Association Football Mk:2 - The Ultras Edition

    I don't like diving, but... He's played 30 competitive minutes of football, shown great touch, made an extremely experienced coach lose his shit and get suspended, then took the piss out of him in a post-match interview, AND to top it off the East Sydney fans already hate his guts even though...

    RD 25: Parramatta Eels v Newcastle at Hunter Stadium 3.00pm 30/8/14

    This is the danger game. Canberra are an absolute rabble. I know it was close last time but they can't put in another defensive performance like that. We'll kill them. Just need to get past the Knights...

    The run home

    Souths did us no favours! Now our best chances for someone to drop points are Warriors v Easts, Warriors v Penrith and NQ v Manly. OR The unbelievable happens and Melbourne lose to both Penrith and Easts!

    Do you regret home games moved

    That's a big assumption to make. Especially for someone who says he doesn't care where the Eels play because he lives outside the state.

    Short kick-offs

    Last night Manly took a short kick-off at the end, and as a Parra supporter I was hoping someone with good hands was under it. This got me thinking: 1. In NFL, when there is a short kick-off, which they call an Onside Kick, they actually bring in a "hands team", which is made up of the guys...

    Is the crusher tackle hysteria about to ruin the end of the season?

    Where is the conspiracy talk champ? We're talking about the inability of refs to control the ruck properly. It's nothing to do with what Gould said, people can make up their own minds what am illegal tackle looks like.

    Is the crusher tackle hysteria about to ruin the end of the season?

    The real problem lies in the fact that the poor refs are constantly bring told different things to watch for, and the interpretations swing wildly from week to week, game to game, even ref to ref. If they come out and say the Ben Smith one wasn't a problem (which they should) then next we'll...

    Hoppa

    I agree. I just think he is a quality centre. That is, it's not really up to him to determine if he is good or not on anyone one particular day. He rarely stuffs up, and often makes more metres than you'd expect, but he s not going to set up play like a half. So while sometimes the fans might...

    Do you regret home games moved

    Haha I know we need cash. I'm not saying we don't need cash, I'm saying that I think the strategy of moving big games to Homebush is short-term thinking, and that there are other, better long-term options to get more money in the long run. Obviously the best way to have more money is to...

    I don't agree. See above.

    Do you regret home games moved

    Lol that depends how you classify "home ground". If you mean that the club chooses to play there and therefore it is officially the home ground, then yeah, it is. (and I know that you like to support the club as you believe that the people in the jobs have more info then you in order to make...

    Do you regret home games moved

    A goalkicker feeling comfortable at a ground, including getting used to the winds, the positioning of the stands, etc, is a massive part of home ground advantage. I have gone on record as saying that I think moving games to Homebush is a short-term solution, which only serves to further...

    Hoppa

    I think he is a very good player, particularly running the ball, and has nice hands. However, at the time of his signing there was talk that he would be the future fullback and that we wouldn't be keeping Jarryd long-term. Well he is not in the same ballpark when it comes to vision, ballplaying...

    RD 24: Parramatta Eels v Manly at Pirtek Stadium 7.45pm 22/8/14

    Excellent posts Souths Pride. I particularly agree regarding the refs. I think that the rules and "interpretations" have been changed so much that even the refs are unsure of when to use video, how to call obstructions etc. That is why there is no consistency. The whole structure of how the NRL...
