I was the first to post in this forum that we signed a dual schoolboys international forward.

That's all well and good if you spotted him at waverley college.

But why call @hindy111 a moron then when he gave Luca a rap after he watched him play and he challenged BA's coaching.

Playing the man while looking for a gotcha moment. So toxic.

Act of Squad: Eels predicted team and 2025 overview​

New head coach Jason Ryles has wasted no time in making his mark on Parramatta's roster, but it'll take more than re-arranging the deck chairs to impress the club's long-suffering fanbase.
The decision to part ways with captain Clinton Gutherson and senior prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard signifies a changing of the guard on the field, while it's the first time in over a decade that Parramatta have prepared for a campaign with someone other than Brad Arthur as head coach, with Ryles also bringing in a bunch of new assistants.

As they crashed to a 15th-place finish – which marked their worst season since collecting the wooden spoon in 2018 – the Eels ended up with the second-worst defensive record in the competition behind only the Wests Tigers, leaking nearly 30 points a game and missing nearly 37 tackles per game on average.
On a brighter note, they had no trouble scoring them and actually finished the regular season with more points to their name than top eight sides the Bulldogs and Knights. The addition of Zac Lomax and Josh Addo-Carr only strengthens them in that area of the game as well.

Incoming Penrith youngster Isaiah Iongi looks the ready-made replacement for Gutherson at the back, while Jack Williams, who joins from the Sharks, was one of the NRL's best impact players off the bench last year and will add some much-needed punch up front.
After back-to-back finishes outside of the top eight it's unlikely many Parra fans will dispute Ryles' policy of change, but that probably won't mean much if they can't show signs of ending the club's almost four-decade long premiership drought.

2. Joash Papali'i

Should we be taking Kitione Kautoga seriously?

We as in us fans, or we as in the club?
I think Ryles sees him as a genuine option for the style he wants to play.

I hope he starts taking ball security seriously.

Fans, I dont image too many people had him pencilled in for their predicted round 1 teams.

Put the offload away and just run hard. To start with

He was lucky to get both those penalties IMO and the challenge was downright stupid.

Yeah he seems to be one of those merkins who is astounded that the ball comes out every time ..... f**kin hold onto it properly .... we will be wasting a million challenges on him if he doesnt sort it out

Wingers and front rowers shouldn't be challenging.

It will be interesting how Moses handles the captain's challenge this year.

He needs to make sure he has clarity and doesn't lose it because in the past he would scream at Gutho at the back and run towards the referree challenge, challenge and at times it would be dumb challenge on emotion.

I am not sure what our captain's challenge strike rate was under Gutho from memory it wasn't horrible and some of them you could toss away as last roll of the dice in last 5 mins of games with one up your sleeve.
