Rd1: 405pm Parra v Storm GAME DAY THREAD in Melbourne 9/3/25

[the phantom menace]

Ah okay, so just trolling again. Now you know why I refuse to engage seriously with you.

Right back at you, mirror boy. You reap what you sow/troll

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You are!

Has there ever been a forward with more wind blown up his arse than Guymer? I just can’t see it. Hope I’m wrong for our sake but he is barely a first grader.

Sure but he might be in 2027

We are seeing POs in action
We lost 3 highly rated junior spine players due to this rubbish. Had our hand tied behind our backs.
BAs left a bigger mess then Hasler at the Dogs

@Poupou Escobar unfortunately you where wrong mate.

 

[Parra Pride]

Tepai moeroa

I like guymer, tough, worker, keeps moving

Isn’t that basically just what Tepai was though? I feel like we really struggle to bring through good attacking forwards. Get us some lanky merkin like ol’ Feleti coming through or some shit.

We lost them because they were off contract.

Good forwards take time to develop. It's easier to just go out and buy them.

We lost them cause we couldn't provide them with a pathway as we waited to see what players would take POs up.

The inconvenient truth.

Well inconvenient for Pou, anyway.

We need edges but Matto and Lane have Pos/Mos so we can't do much for now but wait and see.

I think Matterson is confirmed as taking his option.

We need to use Dylan's money to go in hard for a spine player for 2026. Make an offer to Moses' choice of a halves partner - or a high quality fullback or hooker, and we shift what we have (Iongi, Hands... someone that can defend) to fill the 2026 five eighth spot.

Gutho?

Reed?

Spot on

Lack of clarity for all parties

He looked good in a team going like shit last year.

It was more the shit around him that made him stand out imo.

 

[Chipmunk]

Reed?

Gutho would actually be a pretty handy 6 to be fair...

If they didn't have POs they'd still be off contract, and we'd be waiting for them to accept our contract extension instead.
