It probably comes down to whether he wants to coach the part time Wenty team or be on the first grade coaching staff at an NRL club.

Holbrook chose the Roosters for the same reason - assistant coach of an NRL team is a much better gig than head coach of state cup or NYC.

That goes without saying. My disappointment come from us not securing him in a higher role at Parramatta . He is a real talent.

Considering how much clubs spend and the numerous roles requiring filling ( video stuff, recruitment / development etc etc), surely the club could easily put in a fulltime 20's and reserves coach. I doubt it would break the bank.

I get the feeling that that's what they're doing moving forward

How much would a full time NYC and state cup coach be on? $100k?

It depends what their role is...,

The club f**ked up royally this year by hiring part time coaches for both NYC and state cup but it looks like they've learnt from that, I think each coach will be full time and involved in recruitment and development also... It makes a lot of sense

Definitely. It's dissapointing we haven't already gone down the road of full time coaches for our lower grade teams. Both 20s and nsw cup are development teams and warrant full time coaches.

Oh my goodness. I'm glad this is your life champ. What a pathetic dick you must be. Another keyboard gutless gimp.
I'll tell you something you dimwit. I've been reading these forums for more years that half of you have been on here, just never joined due to busy life and other things I wrote about in the lets get to know each other thread. But decided to join this year.
I joined with the best of intentions to create and contribute to the conversation. However one of my first post coped a load of abuse and name calling by Poo and its been like that ever since. Unlike some on here I'm not backwards in defending myself, especially when some on here have opinions that boarder on moronic. If you and one or two others don't like someone calling your crap exactly what it is, 'crap', then you should partition for this forum to be a closed, private entity. Or perhaps have rules that people ca't abuse other people and their opinions. If you don't want to do that, you'll cop the crap that is on here. Most of m posts relate to our team, players and possible solutions to problems. However if someone is going to abuse me for my opinion rather than just say they disagree with me, then I'll give it back.
So champ grow up and get over yourself. This is a forum, nothing more. I don't like the abuse, but I did not and do not start it. But I will react to anyone giving it out.
If you don't like it either, perhaps have a word with people like Poo and Phlem.
Otherwise relax groover.



Wow i almost got threw half of that.
Man you are a boring one

Grant is about on par with Alvaro. Alvaro atm offers a lot more enthusiasm and in his final 3 games achieved over 100metres off the bench which is awesome. I'd have Alvaro in front of Grant purely because of age and we can work with Alvaro whereas Grant is probably the best he's ever going to get and possible on a slight decline atm. He'd be a fantastic 5th prop for us, would really strengthen us in that regard.

Lussick is replaced by Junior Paulo, will be in terms of money if he signs a new deal with us
Fa'aoso is replaced by maybe Wicks in terms of money.

So grant at 28 is in a slow decline but watmough at 32 i still a good player?
Stop beeing so one eyed 27 - 30 is about peak for a front rower and grants in that range.His problem is attitude and why gus and ivan flicked him and why souths want rid of him

You can be in a decline but still be a good player. Watmough too is in a decline, a much steeper one than Grant but is still a good player. Our pack was much more inconsistent when we didn't have Choc on the field.

A person's physical peak is different to anothers. For all we know Grant hit his absolute peak 2-4 years ago and therefore is in a decline right now, he could also be on the rise.

I reckon Penrith got rid of him for the same reason we got rid of Lussick. For the amount of money he was on he wasn't performing well, and his stats aren't that of a starting prop anymore. But as a reserve prop his numbers are just fine.

WHo the flying F$$K are you? You do not even have a star - So your opinion and respect must be earned. At the moment you are not doing a good way of going about it.
We can joke around with POU cause we post on here a lot and in a way know each other.But some blow in like yourself can basically go blow yourself. Now pull your head in.


That's a bit harsh, Hindy111. I think anyone's entitled to have a go at the class clown.
