2019 Rd2: Parramatta v Bulldogs LIVE GAME DAY thread March 24th

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes.

Says here he is the 'NRL Development Coach': https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2018/11/02/2019-football-staff-update/

But maybe the club's official website tells f**ken lies, like when they said Kane Evans was signed to add depth? https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2017/05/04/parramatta-eels-sign-roosters-prop-kane-evans/

 

[Bazal]

Baz, I wouldn’t have a clue who is the defence coach. I had a guess. I think the acquisition of Ferguson, Lane and Paulo has been enormous and if they stay fit we will make the semis.

Yeah the recruiting has been good. My tongue in cheek comment was more pointing out that, whatever criticisms there may be of BA, he as always placed a high value on hard work in defence.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Ok. You convinced me. Lol. A bit of tongue in cheek return serve for my mate Poo.
Re Hayne, I never ever wanted him back.

I didn't pick up the subtlety. I just read the whole of this thread in one go, my mind is racing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Tongue in cheek much Poo.
We are bigger, stronger and fitter. We also have 3 excellent signings to compliment our improved physicality. Just imagine how good we would be if we had retained Jarryd. Scarey stuff.

Is that the same Jarryd who led us to three spoons in his last four seasons? Classic example of the different between leadership and influence.

 

[TheParraboy]

Early days yet

But Rd 6 Eels v Tigers at the new stadium looks to be a cracker in more ways than one

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So what happened to Bevan French today? Dropped from the 21 yesterday and didny play for Wenty.

Got injured last week for Wenty. Dunno if he is still injured or we were playing silly buggers with him in the 21.

 

[Homo man69]

If we can keep this team together. It could be a golden dynasty. Reminds me of Melbourne. When Smith, Slater and Cronk were youngsters.

I was just telling my kids they will have never seen anything like it and they should start getting excited. I don't think they believed me.

I wanted him back. I thought he'd be a great replacement for Radradra, and if Arthur wanted him back he was happy he wouldn't be a negative influence. I was very wrong.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

To be fair to Jarryd, he finished last year well. But overall i'm glad he , KE and Normz are goooorne. Just what the side needed IMO.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Boys done good.

You were in good company Poo.

That’s an interesting point. Even though Norman was good. His attitude seemed very relaxed about losing. Not a good thing for culture.

I would have preferred we kept Norman rather than Moses but who knows. Cant complain about Moses form so far. Kicked 6 from 6 today as well.

 

[jk13]

Normz reaches his limited potential due to is lazy approach, thank christ he’s gone

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Yeah and when you look at who we replaced them with.. Fergo , Lane and Drown? how f**kin good is that?

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Is Potter the defensive coach?

Kidwell is.

 

[jk13]

Real good, real real real good

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I'm sure they do but if he really is on 500K, even on our cap, it looks like a bargain. Only two games I know.

Wingers are the most undervalued position on the NRL market

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Yes.

Na it’s probably Kidwell
