Optimist/Pessimist

[Gary Gutful]

I am a optimist despite the struggles i think we have a coach at least now we can build towards something.

Just needs to organise the cattle.

But if the premiership drought gets to 50 years which will be 2036 and ill be in my early 40s by then it will be nothing short of embarrassing.

It probably already is in some ways but if the drought reaches 50 years straight for no premierships it will be a genuine disgrace and my patience will be wearing thin by that stage i reckon.

Ill be in my late 50s by then.

Do I need to cancel this thread or is there potential ?

Can you at least fix the typo in the title?

Anyway, the OP should be assaulted with a ball of his own faeces for this abomination of a thread.

I consider myself neither an optimist or pessimist... but will have a stab at 2029 being when we might win something. So Ryles' 5th year.

Change is afoot so I'll say 2028 is a realistic expectation.

So the answer to this question is too fold and somewhat vague.

The first thing is to determine what do you mean by lifting a trophy? If you mean the last time we lifted a trophy was in 1986 then we have a long answer for you

If you know, we lifted two trophies at the end of New South Wales rugby league season in May then we might have some easier answer for you

If it is the latter we are looking very good in the Jersey Flegg and Reserve Grade competition. We will definitely make the finals in both and should push quite deep into the final series maybe grand final qualifier or grand final from there it’s about luck

If it’s the former, we are doing a great deal of work and trying to get anywhere close in the NRL, then I am quite sure of the answers are obvious a lot of people, we are missing a hole running back grower a class center and now that Dylan is leaving a 5/8 if we can recruit well during this remainder of the season and off-season and next year we might expect we could be in contention for the finals

Once you get to the finals once again, it’s all about luck

But in reality, what this post is it just an explanation and a bit of copium because we lost on the King‘s birthday game and we’ve looked terrible all season. We’ve only won four games this year and seven games last year and it’s a pretty bleak time to be a Parramatta supporter

27-28 we will be winning something.

The Rookies in the NRL side will be almost at 100 games the other juniors in Ball and Flegg will be coming through.

we probably might not have ZAC and JAC as ZAC's value might be too high and JAC is much much older.
Our wingers might be Bailey and Russell then

Maybe there is a few years to go before 27.

Lomax deal ends at the end of season 28 and J
The Fox is 30 this year so it's not crazy to say he may go for another 2-3 seasons..

I don't think Bailey or Russell will be in our first grade squad in 27 onwards.
