Not a lot of urgency from these kids at Parramatta is there?

Looks like our under 20's is bust this year.Little sad we don't make the finals for 5 yrs.Get there last year and now back to and ordinary team.

I guess other clubs have better juniors than our Academy.

We just don't really look motivated in any grade, it is very weird.

Sharks win 25-24 with a fg 3 minutes before full time

Seriously, with the way they took their time walking back after the field goal you would have thought there was a good 10 to 15 minutes to go.

There's a reason for that and it has a lot to do with Cherry Mescia and Tony Wignal no longer being there

Sorry just thought now with Nolan setting things up good and us having good scouts finally and top notch system everyone has been telling us about we would be top 4 for a few years or atleast top 8.
So by the end of this year it will be once in 7 years. Surely that is the worse since the holden cup has started.

Considering we have a great junior base our club should be top 8 every year IMO. Either we are over rating our juniors or we are just unlucky.

Refer to my reply to kornstar the loss of Mescia was massive for this club as a whole, 4 different people involved with the club have told me that

Why would we move them on if they are that crucial?

We obviously didn't want to compete with roosters for Mescias services

Well you're the one that just said we have a great junior base. The point of bringing in Nolan was that we don't have a great junior base, and need to poach some from outside the local district.

I've been told our current crop of 15s and 16s are the best in the land and that's proven with how we're currently going in Mathews but our 18s are in a transitional period we're always going to struggle this season

Does Troy Dargan play in this team?
