Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Poupou Escobar]

Bea will probably wait till he is at least 33 or 34 before he is ready to pounce.

He just signed Jack f**king Bird who's been washed up for for well over 5 years. Fkn lol the most Bea Arthur signing ever.

You don’t think Bird is good enough for the Super League?!? The comp is full of lemons ffs. Look at the ones who come here and do f**k all. Bird will be fine in Leeds.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Agree. He turns 30 this year. But if it was at the right price a 2yr deal wouldn't be the worse.

I rarely disagree with you oh Wise One but I wouldn't touch Marata. He is suspended or injured often and, in my opinion, would create a road block for some of our exciting young forwards. This is also the reason I wasn't overly disappointed missing out on KK. By reports we will have gun packs in NRL, Cup, Flegg and Ball. In Ryles I trust.
Just need to develop some more backs. That said Im a big fan of Apa so I hope he gets some opportunities this coming season.

Have you forgotten Murchie and Mommamia? Then there's Jane Evans and Hodgson to consider.
Don't also forget Foran who was broken between the ears and Watmough who was broken between his calves and thighs.

Given we have 3 former elite front rowers on the coaching staff, youd hope we would be good developing young forwards.

Andrew Davey FTW!!! What about Ritchie Fa'aso he looked like he couild barely break into a trot without being in pain. Can't sign some young talent then the bald fraud might have to do some coaching.

Its not the coaches job to do some coaching

He's almost as washed up your Pommy buddy Josh Baldson was, he'll probably do fine over there but i'm sure your hero Sir Baldalot will be trumpeting him up as some super signing lol.

How f**king stupid am i??? Coaching isn't the coaches job ffs!!

I expect a detailed rant from Poup's shortly.

Bellamy and Bennett weren’t good players.
Johns wasn’t a good coach. Add Fittler, Walters, Barrett et al.
Being a good player isn’t what makes a good coach

true but at least they got the experience behind them

Wayne Bennett played for Australia

 

[85 Baby]

true but at least they got the experience behind them

But the key skill is turning that experience into something to teach and being able to relay to players.

Wayne Bennett played for Australia

Either way his playing skill isn’t what made him a good coach.

Paul Kent played for Parramatta

I would only touch Marata if was for 26/27 and not for overs
He played 25 games last year, 15 the year before and 22 the year prior so has been fine for Warriors.

But yes we fo have some good kids and we should be patient and see how they go.
Im looking more forward to the NSW CUP team list then the NRL. It's stacked with young talent. BA had a bunch of old journeymen like Ogden. Terrible pa th days under him.

 

[T-Boon]

I'd say because they're children, they have to factor in availability of the parents.

Could be. Or maybe the NRL clubs and agents etc dictate this based on their availability.

 

[T-Boon]

Paul Kent played for Parramatta

who had the better league career Kent or Jeff Fenech?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He was so good at developing forwards that other clubs poached a bunch of them from us.
