They've lost their last 5 in a row and sit only 1 win ahead of us, with a -88 points differential. This, after bringing in supposedly one of the most respected coach's in the game and having Phil Gould as the Director of football operations.
Why are they doing so poorly? And why aren't they under the pump in the media?

Still a bit to early to be judging them. If this time next year they are still in the same position, then it will be a concern.

The pennies dont sell papers, it is as simple as that, and of course us parra fans jump over everything.

Think that when the board was swept into place, the previous CEO has made it a priority to talk to his mates about how bad things are, listen to Raaay and you will hear it there.

Having said that, I expected a lot better than this, and SK is fading fast in my estimation of what he would bring to the table

It is interesting that the supposed 'greatest rugby league nursery' which has always been considered Sydneys western suburbs, has both its sides played like busteds.

What has happened? Where are all our talented kids going? Usually either Penrith or Parra would be going well each year. Rarely have they both been going badly at the same time. Times are changing.

Penrith were my tip for the spoon this year. Their squad is easily the worst in the comp. No-one expected anything of them this year while we were expected to improve.

Cleary is only a few months into his 5 yr plan - he needs time ... clearly a culture issue that will take 5 years to weed out :thumn
