We need to develop our own. We aren't a destination club for blue chip players, today was evidence again of this.
We've surely got more going for us than the Dogs and Panthers.
Great little city, stadium, best gym in the world, best fans (Panthers and Dogs fans are ugly / buck toothed)

What is this? I dont know Pangi Jnrs history or anything.
Pangi Jnr was signed to the Dogs on a 3 year deal for 22- 24 for $750K per year. Then retired mid year in 23 to pursue boxing. Just when Gould was looking to sign a number of players for 24. And it seems and I can’t confirm, that somehow the dogs got out of paying his contract or having it counted on their salary cap. Perhaps someone has some more info.

I reckon Papalii/Volkman are best internal options for next year. There are potential younger options, but they won't be ready. Api I don't think is everywhere near a chance.

Externally, Smith is solid and improving, Pezet (and I reckon is a good chance) has potential but has had some injuries. Both have upside and young. Either could do the job, but how good, is unknown. Smith wouId be a pretty safe option. Both are contracted.

Sullivan is a smokie, there is a Ryles connection and some rumours we were interested in the off season. The kid has the ability.

While there is Doueihi, who doesn't have a contract yet. Big body, solid runner of the ball like Drown and great kicking game (adds to our game). Can play a few positions so we can move him, if a better option comes available (including a rookie). Additionally we could look at moving him into a lock ball playing role after a year or so, when a better option is ready.

I’m honestly embarrassed at my blind loyalty and the time I invest to support Parramatta, sitting here in my Parra pj pants and heritage jersey I should put my clown makeup on.

We are a poorly run club, and brand. The pure humour of ppl saying Joash could be a 5/8 after 1 game and a position that isn’t his specialty is so sad.

We are a disgrace. I’m done.
Sounds to me like you had too many cold ones and too your eye off the succulent Sunday Roast and blew it! :D

If we sign Doueihi we are asking to be cellar dwellers, dude is a dud.
