Rnd 3 TLT vs Manly Sunday 4pm

[hindy111]

Grieg played big minutes for NSW cup last week. He is another game away from being Parra fit.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Some say he will be fine for another 5yrs. I personally think we will have to move on by 2026/2027.

Gutho brings more then just what he does at the game.

He drives standards at training especially with fitness work and leadership within the group.

You only have to look at when Jarryd was the big dog or leader/captain and how his laziness created a bad & toxic culture that took us years to get rid of. I reckon a good comparison with Jarryd is how souths are treating Latrell now pampering him and not wanting to get him offside.

You have to be careful if you decide to get rid of that type of player like Gutho out of a club.

Look at the possible ripple effect.

100% that's also the same when you bring in new players from shut clubs are they going to bring their poor culture.

I don't think Gutho needs moving on but I do think he should be moved to centre and a quicker ball playing fullback brought in. But at the moment he is the best fullback we have.

That is all fine but if he isn’t playing at a high NRL level his next contract will be far lower in which case he himself will maybe opt for a larger one in the UK

Anyone think Blaize may defend at 5/8th next to Lane and Dylan at centre - will protect him a little more in the line, and have the confident of good defenders either side of him

Nup. Too complicated for BA to fathom

I look deeply forward to Manly's speed against 2 players unknown in those positions in NRL on out left edge.

I think he’ll play right side defence so no

I was told that you can’t have Dylbags defend at centre because then he can’t attack as a half somehow.

 

[Noise]

And Penisini plays left centre?

 

[84 Baby]

And Penisini plays left centre?

This is going on in multiple threads now. Yes I think he’ll play left and Blaize will play right. Damage control

No moving Drown wider is a toss up between having better front on defence but worse cover from the inside man, or worse front on defence but with one of the best cover defenders of all time.

I don't see why not, they swap around all the time in both attack and defense

seems to be the modern game, with wings playing inside centres and halves at 2nd and 3rd receiver sometimes

If Moses can find the grass after kicking we can win..

I was positive about him with the love TCT give him but watched second half NSW Cup against Dogs and he didn't show too much but said was learning fb role. Strange considering how skinny we are at centre but maybe they are turning him into genuine utility.

Anyhow, seems any young player promoted by Brisbane, Storm and Roosters always seem comfortable in NRL, whereas our touted young players nearly always seem to struggle. Why?

This match against Manly will be a big test for him as they have amongst the fastest centre pairing in NRL so I hope he handles the big occasion and realistically he is the only option.

Btw why are they persisting with Lume and Dunster in NSW Cup? Lume = meh and Dunster cannot run and their places need to be taken by other players capable of playing NRL in the future. Bad move by the club imo.

You speak sense. Don’t start me on the utter shit we have signed. Our management is devoid of identifying outside backs. Lumelume I’ve never seen someone dive for the try line and actually plant the ball 5m over the dead ball line.

Wait, you want them to get trashed because you have beef with the coach ?

Happy to be proven wrong but.

A game of Tic Tac Toe would confuse poor old Bea.

He probably can’t wait to see what excuses you and Poups comes up with. I’m sure it will be very exciting!!

No. I look forward to how they take on the challenge. Especially Blaize.

It's how you face the challenge and how you ride the success or bounce back from failure that determines ones character

Or you could just keep failing Bea Arthur style and keeping getting extending while earning millions. Only at Parramatta.
