Well then why did you compare Dargan to him? Why not compare Dargan to Cherry-Evans, A.Reynolds, or Keary? They didn't make their debuts until their early-20's.

He could be ready earlier than most but he certainly doesn't need to be playing NSW cup by 2017 when he's only 19. I have faith in those that are in charge to make the correct calls with not only Dargan but the rest of our junior base.

I only mentoned Brooks because you said that 19 was young for a half to play first grade. I was suggesting he (Dargan) play against men for Wenty when 19, not first grade and gave Brooks as an example of someone younger than 19 who made NRL debut.

Regardless, I think we are both in agreement - the club will develop and progress him as they see fit and we need to have faith that at least now we have the coaching staff in place who can do this better then we have for a few years.

He is big, will make good meterage rucking it out (so important in the modern game). Skillfull, but seems not to ever be fully engaged in the game. Not express off the mark, but once moving, the big train can chug.

Someone else might have a better take

Exactly how I see it too. Also from what I have seen of him, his defense can be ordinary too.

But he is young and time will tell. Also there are those players that seemed to be uninterested or had low involvement in games, but once give a NRL start it brings out a whole new focused attitude from them. Lets hope he is one of those.

Warning peeps don't bother reading matthew johns article tomorrow in telegraph its another public statement to try and convince kieran foran to change his mind and come to parra.

Someone at manly must have had a quiet word to him and told him is to use his profile to convince foz to change his mind.

And he degrades parra again in his article by pretty much repeating what he has been saying on radio about how our board is just as dysfunctional as manly and brad arthur will be under pressure if we lose our next couple of games.

I rarely ever do. The guy has very little to say that ever makes sense or comes true. He has become like a modern day version of P. Slothfield.

Rubbish article. He has peddled a very obvious anti-Parra agenda through out the entire saga and continues to attempt to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about our club in a bizarre effort to make Foran stay at Manly.

This is becoming a joke, clear agenda. I wouldn't mind had he discussed issues once, but the way he is carrying on is ridiculous. Would love to see him called out on it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see/hear our Chairman make a statement regarding this repeated media commentary. Though I wouldn't expect him to name names.

Sick of him at the moment.

Even his brother congratulated Eels on the signing

Matty pushes his own agendas

Havent read it yet.

Johns keeps calling Hindy out for not winning a premiership, just for once I'd love hindy to say back that at least he didn't cheat on his wife in front of 20 team mates

Hindy has too much class to do that.

I read the article. It wa mostly about how Toovey doesn't deserve to be sacked act which i agree with but the jab at the end about Eels and constantly talking about board members wanting Anderson as coach (Wasn't that Spags that wanted Anderson and now he's gone?)

I made a comment on the article. As did a couple other Eels fans. Eels fans should write into his shows

Why give him clicks, comments and the satisfaction?

As Paul Anka said, "Just don't look!"

It's disgraceful Matty Johns still gets airtime - about league or anything else.

Some of his views about current events seem pretty extreme/ignorant/right wing, passed off as "normal".

Isn't his brother an assistant coach over at Manly?

I think Johns lives up the Northern Beaches way as well. Maybe he's developed a soft spot for them.

I wouldn't know what MJ says if it weren't for you lot banging on about him. It's easy....don't watch his show, and don't read the shit he writes.
