    Wasted 2 years

    After watching a few of the RLWC and then looking back on our last 2 years, it is not a long bow to draw the conclusion that we really wasted the past couple of years. Players failed to respond to the she'll be right attitude of the coach, and the consequent fall off in fitness and physique...

    Sense from DaveQ

    :crazy:"Manly won the comp this year under the same salary cap regime we were subjected to. They managed to do this because they had a group of players who were prepared to play in a competitive side for less than they were worth. Thats an indicator of a professional and well run club. They...

    Comment from Tony Williams

    "Williams said he was ready and willing to replace new Bradford Bulls forward Menzies. "It's a good opportunity for me, to play where I want to play," Williams said." My only remark regarding this article, is that TW is obviously not a winger and the coaching staff kept playing him in a...

    Congrats Calextico

    Just wanted to congatulate your boy for a great game today. Hopefully you got to see it, very impressive physical performance, he did Christchurch proud, my son in law comes from Timuka, so have some affiliation to the south island. Whatever happens for next season, hopefully he gets a start...

    Cordoba and Oake

    This may seem strange, but I was at the game on Saturday night with my son and his 2 boys and some other friends, paying close attention to the train wreck going on. But today I was talking to Stagger and I asked why Cordoba didn't play and he told me he was, then I thought about it and don't...

    I fear for 2009

    Even the commentators are suggesting that we are in big trouble for next year, the issue appears t be that the only people who can't see it is the coach and the CEO. We have replaced some experienced players with some up and commers but still lack size up front and real pace at the back...

    Re:-Ben Smith

    Just a whisper I heard from a good source, that Ben Smith has been told to get himself right for next year. Appaarently won 't play again this season and will spend his time on rehab to overcome the kness problems, physio staff have advised him that in his best interest to concentrate on next...

    Hard to disagree with Phil Gould

    Just read this mornings SMH, and the panel discussion on the Eels. The most potent point was made by Gus who when questioned about what the difference was between the last couple of years commented. " It takes 18 months to destroy a good culture and 18 months to repair a bad one, look at...

    Some players went missing

    Well, this is not to bag anyone , I think we saw today how difficult it is to be "up" every week. Mateo and Keating had thg]eir worst games of the season and provided little even when we were on the front foot. They have both assumed more dominant roles this year, so not really unexpected if we...

    Re Tony Williams

    Well guys , I have some sources and here is the situation. Manly chased 3 second rowers hard, Simpson, Gallen and Tupou - when they missed all 3 they decided to look at second rowers in NYC and go overs for the best one available and add him to their NRL squad. Basically they only pay decent...

    Is Finch the answer??

    Well, I guess we have to ask the question, is Finch the playmaker to lead any side. At the moment he appears to be a runner and a chaser, more like a back up hooker, all endeavour and little in the way of creativity. I like what he puts into the game, but would we be better to look at...

    That was ordinary

    Still trying to absorb waht went on after about 30 minutes today. We tend to look very ordinary when forced to make ground against big boppers, however it looked like the Warriiorsa had magic hands troday, hardly dropped anything and flicks etc just semd to find them, but I guess you make...

    Parra Board to lobby StadiumTrust

    Just to let you know, I spoke to Ovo this morning who advised that he has spoken to the Board Members at Parramatta and they will be lobbying in writing the Parramatta Stadium Trust to reverse their decision on the Ray Price Lounge. Obviously Ovo will not be able to vote as there would be...

    MAxwell is a joke

    I can't sit back and not let my feelings known, this is a complete farce. Is the thing to send Peachey off a winner permeated in to making the reffing of the PL game a joke. It is the worst refereeing perforimance since Hartley and Manly, a complete and utter joke, no matter rthe result...

    Media Presence??

    Just wondering if anyone else out there is a little concerned aboput the apparent lask of media presencde our club occupies. When you look at clubs like Wests Tigers,Souths and Titans they are seen or heard far more than the Parramatta club in radio of TV, is this a deliberate action by the...

    Did you refer players to Parra

    Just a thought from threads posted by GoParra and Parra Pete. Has anyone else recommended a player to our club and seen little done and then realise another NRL club picked them up later. I do a fair bit of business in the Hunter Valley and had a kid named Daniel Ritter tipped to me, played 5/8...

    John WIlliams In???

    To be honest the second best winger in the club made his comeback tonight and scored after 44 seconds and ended up with 3 tries and a great defensive effort. His great attribute is that he finishes and is not heart attack material in defence. It has been said before , but it would be a much...

    Will the faves get picked again

    Burt - Still hasn't made a break on his own, looks terrified in defence,missed his only duty from in front, and is targetted in defence. In the last minute made no attempt to take on the last line of defence.Time to look at what else is available Graham - enough said, between him and Burt it was...

    Someone has to say it

    I understand that some of the football staff are concerned that they may have no job security if the coach changes, and believe this will affect performance this year. Well to be honest with all the football staff , look in the mirror "WHEN DID WE LAST WIN A BIG GAME??". We have lost 3 prelim...
