    Most underrated or unappreciated Parramatta players ever.

    Over the years there have been a lot of Parra players who have been unduly criticised, bagged out, or just plain under appreciated by us fans. Who are your favourite 'under appreciated' Parra players ever? I'd like to kick off with ……. Jeff Robson. He was often criticised as being slow...

    Parramatta's greatest wooden spoon team ever.

    Selecting individual players from different years, and attempting to assemble them into one composite team that could take out the wooden spoon, is never easy. There are always questions. Would they accidently gel as a team? Would one or two of the players form some sort of random combination...

    Foran Against

    No doubt Keiran Foran will make us a better team than we were last year. But I am a little concerned about one thing: our kicking in general play. Particularly our long-kicking and our kicking for territory. We've lost Jarryd Hayne's long-kicking game and we've lost Chris Sandow. Who's going to...

    Band Names

    Hi, guys (and/or girls). I play in a band with four other people around my age (mid-fifties). We play mostly original rock/pop. We've been playing together for between 12 months to two years and we're now looking at playing a few gigs (which is exciting). Trouble is, we can't come up with a name...

    Our Avatars

    I'm wanting to find out why people call themselves the things they do. Some of you have fairly straightforward names - Maroubra Eel, Parraboy, Eelectric, etc. But some of your names are just plain puzzling: Twizzle, Stagger Eel, PouPou Escobar, Suitman. Come on, guys; what's your story? Mine's...

    What's worse?

    What do you think would be worse? 1. Looking your age (ie: 53) OR: 2. Being 53, looking 25, and having dermatologists hate you? I don't know any dermatologists, so I'd probably go for No1.

    Melbourne game.

    I wasn`t going to watch this one, initially. But now, with the events of this week, it`s shaping as a potential blockbuster. One of the most exciting club games I`ve ever seen was when Parramatta beat Melbourne at Parra Stadium under Daniel Anderson in 2010. And didn`t the fans give it to...

    Daniel Mortimer

    I don`t usually start threads to bag players, so I`ll direct this more at the coach: why the hell is Anderson continuing to select Mortimer in first grade? I just don`t get it. I used to watch Mortimer when he played in the lower grades, and he never impressed me. Other people on this forum...

    Are we a chance on Sunday?

    So; we face the might of Melbourne. The best attack in the NRL. A host of Origin stars. A team who have just demolished their last two opponents. Do we have a chance of beating them and winning the most unexpected of premierships? I say YES. Firstly, Melbourne's run-in has been relatively easy...

    Jarryd Hayne v Ken Thornett

    In 1964, Ken Thornett came to Parramatta from England, for seven games toward the end of the season. Parramatta, who previously had been the easybeats of the competition, won six of those seven games and drew one to make the semi finals for, I think, the first time. The following year, and for...

    Tonight`s game

    .....and Matt Keating gets the ball to Tim Mannah, who makes a charging run out of his own quarter. He`s tackled by three Warriors defenders, but gets a lovely pass out the back to Finch, Finch on to Hindemarsh who`s held up but gets a pass to Hayne. Hayne slices through the defense, passes to...

    Favourite Parramatta Memories

    What are your favourite Parramatta memories? One of mine is from 1986. Parramatta playing Canterbury at Belmore Oval. (Sitting on the hill). I remember Mick Cronin made one bone-shattering tackle on the Canterbury centre (I think it was Andrew Farrar). For the rest of the game, whenever the...

    Best Composite Parra Team

    I suppose you`ve all done this a hundred times, but I just thought, before the season starts, we could name our best ever Parra side. This is mine (based on players I`ve actually seen in my life-time): 1. Ken Thornett 2. Eric Grothe (senior) 3. Michael Cronin 4. Brett Kenny 5. Either...
