He won't be. He'll coach us next year. But that will be the last. I'd rather talk about soccer.

What about the world cup hey? It was a pisser.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Can you ask him what's on for dinner tonight? I'm getting hungry.

Curried sausages and rice.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'll give it a try. I might learn more about the game - because I have to admit I don't know a hell of a lot about it. Is their forum entertaining? I hope so.

Are you sad because your scapegoats Kearney and Stuart have somewhat competitive teams and we don't?

 

[T-Boon]

Doesn't matter, because I'm really starting to take an interest in soccer. It's a bloody good game, actually.

In my opinion soccer has the same problems RL has. It is over coached and the coaching has dumbed the game down. I am amazed how uninterested I am in the world cup because all the games have looked exactly the same.
I recommend American Football. Obviously that is strange to say since the coaches have way more input into a game but I think American Football was designed to be that way so it is proper while soccer and RL were not meant to be this over coached.

Leftovers? FFS!

I was also in Indiana last week for a Colts game in December, you are right it is a great place and they do love us. I can't wait to go back in 2020, this time for longer.

I hired a car from South Bend at the top and drove down through Indiana to Louisville then up to Cincinnati and up to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. If you haven't been there it is worth the drive from Indianapolis. Would be a 3 hours drive I'd guess.

That sounds like a good trip, i will have to look into it for when i go in 2 years.

I've been following Parramatta quite a lot longer than you have.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Gee you must’ve gone through some scapegoats.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee you must’ve gone through some scapegoats.

Imagine all the excuses you could of come up with if you’d been following the club as long as Lingard. It would of been very exciting.

Geez we are definitely not the darlings of the NRL at the moment.
In their Top 5 plays of the week, both Moses' and Norman's tries got left out in favour of the Holmes try where Moylan did somewhat less than Hayne on both ocassions.

What makes them more competitive than our squad

 

[emjaycee]

What makes them more competitive than our squad

1. They have won more games than us
2. They have better defence than us
3. They have better attack than us
4. They kick more penalty goals than us
5. They have won more games away from home that us
6. They have won more games at home than us
7. They have both won at least twice as many games as us

In fact the only thing where our squad may be as equally competitive (not more or less) is we also managed to get the 2 points from the bye.

I can streamline it even further.

I mean between our squad and their squads in talent our squad is equally as talented..

Looking at the squads should they have ;

1. Won more games
2. Have better defence
3.Better Attack.
4. Better discipline
5. same as 1
6. Same as 1
7.Same as 1..

We finished 4th in regular season in 17, We shouldn't be last this year.. I dont think its all BA's fault...

AFL guy

Why did we think AFL guy would be a good idea...

Seeing as though we are in the Game day thread, If it was any other winger going for that try Bevan had disallowed they would have dived up through the air and keep feet away from ground.. Bevan has the ability just isnt being coached correctly..

Mate, I’m no fan of the AFL merkin as I think strength, fitness and speed wise we’ve gone backwards. However I don’t think it’s his job to teach French how to stay in touch when scoring out wide.

I dont think its his job either was just adding it on that it needs to be coached..
