    Team List Tuesday - Rnd3 vs Dogs

    R&R team, come on down and receive the award for good and knowledgeable recruitment over past 4 years - NOT

    Season over. Let's talk 2026.

    Interesting that Tuavati has an option for 2026 and hasn’t been extended. The Listnr podcast with Chamas and Weidler raised the issue of the HOF and poor recruitment and retention, suggested the communication is now much better between him and the coach, but he needs to step up big time...

    NRL 360 + other footy shows

    Understand the Sparky Eels suit was being altered and wasn’t available for the game, the 2 mascots are what the Eels use on their junior gala and fan days , so they were used to ensure the kids had a mascot out there.

    Rumours and Stuff

    The clubs that make big decisions have alpha male types in position , such as Gould and Richardson, even Bennett at a stretch. To describe anyone in our R&R bevy of geniuses as an Alpha is seriously a pisstake .

    Maybe look at the people who signed them, not sure that the R&R team aware blameless. Too many missies and questionable extensions, options etc .It’s a tough area but not good enough in reality.

    Rumours and Stuff

    Last comment on this issue. If as it seems we need a reboot to take the club forward ( see Dogs and Tigpies), the major requirement is a big Alpha male stamping their authority on moves and vision ( Gould and Richardson) . No one in their honesty would think that Sarantinos, ONeil or Rogers are...

    The Hassle HoF Thread

    It’s been said before but worth underlining the start of a massiv issue from the front office , aka R&R The combined genii knew in 2021 that we would be losing 6/7 first grade players, their attempts to cover their loss was In a word “hopeless and negative” The club was reasonably attractive ...

    Maybe someone should post a comment why he should be retained

    Rd2: 4:05pm Parra v Wests Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 16/3/25

    Obviously those geniuses that advise and consult with our HOF believed our recruitment and identification has been good, how the heck they think that hasn’t seen who we signed in the past 3/4 years.

    This is how bad the day after that humiliation is, stopped for a coffee where you get the opportunity to read the paper. Picked it up, saw the headlines back and front of the Terrorgraph and that was enough. What a friggin disaster , when your captain and then soon to be paid highest earner...

    The bigger issue appears to be that Tuivati has yet to sign for next year and has one of those option things that our HOF likes, now sure how it will end.

    Rumours and Stuff

    At the game it seemed that Junior didn’t take a hit up until our 3rd set and then didn’t dent the line as someone that size should. Difficult to assess Junior at times but seems he really has hit a wall in the past 12 months , big money under the cap too. Probably can’t move him , but definitely...

    One thing the club could explore is see if they can get the Head of Recruitment at Canberra to move, despite its disadvantages they seem to find better than an average players, even from SuperLeague. Their juniors are strong and don’t seem fazed when they step up into NRL. Would seem an upgrade...

    Injury Updates

    Think you will find it’s an Achilles injury
  16. Delboy

    The shit list and more.

    Actually liked his effort and defence, then he was interviewed on a ParraEels video and said that he can’t wait to get to Newcastle and play with Ponga. That underlines how dumb he can be, and obviously not helped by his management team who have close links to a family we know well.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    On the way home heard Luke Lewis on the ABC, he basically said how do the experienc3d players allow what we saw here. No support in tackles, no work in the ruck , basically poor support play. Said inexperienced in one thing, but leadership from the so called leaders wasn’t on display...

    Rd2: 4:05pm Parra v Wests Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 16/3/25

    Sitting with my daughter and her husband today, after the first try scored against us in the second half, she got up and said “had 4 wisdom teeth taken out on Friday under general anaesthetic and it wasn’t as painful as watching this “ . Don’t think she was alone with similar thoughts , terrible...

    Well, you seem to know everything about anything, surely you have some names The people we have basically aren’t good enough so finding someone better is not solving the NY times crossword blindfold.

    Rd2: 4:05pm Parra v Wests Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 16/3/25

    Left early for th first time in 30 odd years, really struggling to find anything positive with the forwards and halves being less than NRL basic standard. Junior is a shadow and has another year on big money, Joe O works hard but is a complementary prop. Lane is not game fit, Williams is a prop...
