IF blokes like Haas and Fafita were at Parra would they even be getting a run in first grade???

I seriously doubt it, not while we have blokes like Tep and Alvaro to Plod it up.

Lol have another rum mate, Haas and Fifita are four times as good as any of our juniors.

I feel like he's still adjusting from being a gun 20s player where his first thought was "run"...

But it's also not a bad problem to have, the kid has no fear of taking the line on or pushing deep into the defence before he passes.

I think its funny people on here bag Cleary but not D.Brown.
Yes D.Brown is a rookie but at this stage he is hardly a solid NRL player. This is good for his development. Maybe he is playing a year too early. I just never see him do anything on the 5th. Why doesnt he occassionally do and attacking kick rather then feed it to Moses?

D.Brown and Mahoney will be far improved next season. People forget we have a young spine. 2 rookies and 2 x 24ylds.
Mahoney will be an 80min hooker next year. I am not bothered by a 14 on the bench to cover him.

I don’t think Mahoney will be able to play 24 games at 80 minutes.

Stefano might be very good. Kafusi will be solid. Maybe not in these guys class but both are very promising from bits ive seen. Kafusi just needs fitness. He put 10kgs on and needs to adjust to his new weight as a 19yld.

Maybe supercoach has told him not to?

Haha what?

Cleary is 21 and has 80 NRL games and 5 Origin games

Brown is 19 and has 12 NRL games.

LMAO

To be fair, Cleary is probably earning 4-5 times what Brown is

Doesn’t mean that Bea Arthur would pick them, experienced Plodders what he prefers. And who knows how Stefano or Kaufusi would go they never get a crack. Gower came on and let Dawwwwwius run over him with his Zimmer frame. He’s been a warrior for us but he’s done.

How are they bog average? Every commentator had them as top 4 this year and potential premiers! They have several long term rep forwards in their pack!

Did you watch the last 15 ? Doesn’t seem like it as we scored 2 tries ! So they gave something!!

Commentators have to suck the Broncos dick, they do every year and the Seibold going there was always going to give them a hard on.

They have been shit this year, with the exception of a few games and tonight was not one of them. Like i said in another post, they have Haas and Fafita, that is it and who ultimately won the game for them? Outside of those 2 they are worse than us.

There was a period earlier in the year where arm grabbing was a real problem for us and we fixed it for a while, it has been back with a vengeance the last few week, we simply do not like the collision of the game.

I am seriously fearful of next weeks game, especially if Manly win this week and they have a shot at the top 4........we could be severely embarrassed at home!

Cleary has been playing first grade for 3 years. Come back to this when Brown has. He straightens up the defence just beautifully our first try was due to him getting the inside shoulder of their half. What the f**k did Moses offer with all the balm he had??? The kid is playing way beyond his year. He got levelled and got straight back up. He’s a gun, not sure if we will see the best of him under Bea Arthur.

Ha ha didn’t realise Mahoney and Drown were experienced plodders........playing 2 rookies in your spine is a bigger call then picking a rookie middle forward to play 15/20 mins.

BA has no problems picking rookies .....

I thought Taka was as lazy as fu*k personally. Moving him to edge and Lane into the middle is a bad move.
Drown was uncomfortable tonight. BA will probably rest him next week and pick Taka at 5/8.
Alvaro surprised me tonight. I thought he went ok.
Moses had a shocker.
I love Sivo but he desperately needs speed training. Semi would have scored 3 or 4 tonight.
Gower has always had a few good games in him then he falls off the cliff.
Re signing players like Gower, Taka and Mennings is typical Parra. Need to be more ruthless. I wonder what Mannah has done?

Well we're arguably seeing the best of Moses under BA so why not Brown?

We played Darius back into an Australian jersey.
