Parramatta are an ordinary team, be lucky to finish 12th, would expect them to be a lot better then this.
There forwards are apparently good, they look ordinary

Once Reynolds inevitably gets busted the Broncos will fade.
Maybe , but if they are paying attention , they've got some talented potential megastars in the halves to step up . Might see how good of a coach Reynolds is once he gets busted ... Oh wait? He's not the coach is he ?

I was wondering why Parramatta would take on Brisbane in Darwin.Didn’t they get flogged by the Cowboys up there in the last year or two?Also since then they’ve bought a pommy hooker who didn’t seem crash hot to me in those conditions last night.Wouldn’t they have been better off playing Canberra or even Melbourne up there?
Id be blaming that loss on their admin.

Hodgson appeared to have a stack of missed tackles. Very woods like performance.
not sure what the official count was, but he didn’t look great defensively

They still look big and scary but Age is catching up

It seems that way.
I noticed it way back in Rd 2 when everyone in here was saying they'd dominate BHU and Tobes but our boys contained them very well. If anything, I think ours were slightly on top.

It doesn't bode well for NSW at SOO time. We've got Haas and, from what I can see, no one else to accompany him. Saifiti maybe. But after that? The cupboards are pretty bare.

They need to look outside the box so to speak but NSW don't do that, they stick to the perennial losers that get ambushed by QLD year after year. I'm sure Jake Trbojevic will be first picked.

I don’t mind Jake. He’s not as ordinary as the haters would have you believe.

But yeah, NSW insistence on picking “combinations” over other, more deserving, non players is their downfall IMHO.

Honestly, we’re talking about full time, professional players.
If they can’t start working up combinations after ~10 days in camp they shouldn’t be there.

Qld don’t give a pharque about it.

If there’s one thing last series taught me it’s that NSW have learned nothing over the past 15 years.

RCG will be out for a while by the looks of it so Paulo will probably keep his spot despite looking fairly average this season

Perhaps they were Cowflogged but they went into last night with a 6/2 winning record in Darwin.

Well since Adolf got the coaching gig it's really been more like a Best of Roosters/Panthers squad.

To be seriously talking about putting Suaalii in the side is insulting to every league fan's intelligence. He might be talented but has been in shit form so far
