Rd23 2025: Non Parra games - Indigenous round

[Gary Gutful]

It's ok, they've got a $1.3 million man coming next season...

A space cadet like Ponga needs a strong leader in the halves, not another space cadet.

They are f**ked beyond belief.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Wonder where it all started to go wrong ??

They won 3 spoons 2015-2016-2017

Wayne Bennett was coach 2012-2013-2014
pulled out of his final year in 2015 (he knew what was coming)

Mudguts Tinkler was around at the time. What a shit show they’ve been over the last 10 years.

They’ve made finals in that time but it’s pretty pissweak given how impressive they were between 1994-2006.

Who let Blaize go?

Dopes.

And I sense Ponga won't be there until the end of 2026 for some reason, maybe 360 reasons...

Who let Blaize go?

Dopes.

He refused our offer. He or his manager is a mercenary and was always going to go.

But anyone could seem like they're a star just being a cog within that four-peat earning system - probably even Lane.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Who let Blaize go?

Dopes.

Who let Isaiya Katoa go? He’s a lot better than Talagi.

Andrew Johns retired

Even JA? We made sure him and his brother where under contract.

HEY OBRIEN maybe it's time to bring BOODS in.

If we make 5 consecutive grand finals ill let it slide

Yeah we'd be killing it if we'd kept Talagi. Sixth in the NRL for missed tackles. Gee we could use him right now.

I watch him most games and his defense whilst still average he puts body on line. He may bounce off a tackle but he is still making contact and the correct reads and slowing down the player. It is rare I've seen players just run straight threw him tbh.

If Blaize was here then our search for a 5/8 is over. He is already far superior attacker then D.Brown

Boods, Jake and AOB could all collect a spoon in a few weeks.

Then that Arthur family trophy cabinet will be full of spoons.

Dopes.

We wanted to keep him. He didn’t want to stay. Not much the club can do.

Just like Stefano and Mooney. Our club was just to useless with negotiations and handled the situation poorly. We gave a 17yld a PO ffs and then put him in the shop window. His form IN NSW CUP was average and he wasnt getting a 450k offer untill he was put on display.

Everybody look at this kid.Come see how good our juniors are. Great talent. He is available also. Come and see if you can outbid us. Bet you can't.
Amateur hour honestly.

We don't have the team to cover Talagi's defence. And Brown's best attacking season was much better than Talagi this year. He may end up better though.

we ?

Everyone was chasing him since SG Ball. It's why we couldn't get him to extend. These are NRL clubs not slobs on the internet. By the time you and me know who these players are, they have already been on the radar of every NRL club for years. And there’s no point keeping juniors if you have to pay them overs. That’s true whether you win a premiership or not.

 

[the phantom menace]

Can't keep 'em all.

 

[emjaycee]

Can't keep 'em all.

That is true. Players will think they are ready for FG and make a decision to leave for an opportunity elsewhere if they feel they are being blocked. Some recent examples, Katoa, Talagi, Sanders, Iongi, Dearden and no doubt many others.

And it will continue, especially with two new NRL teams starting up in coming years.
