The reason there are no leaks is because there are no elected members on the board. As soon as we go back to having an elected board we'll have leaks. Elected officials are under pressure to satisfy the merkins who voted for them and plenty of those merkins want inside gossip.

Your absolutely correct and there's no doubt that will happen.

There's one thing you left out. Some of those mischievous leaking board members will also do any and everything to gain total control of the numbers, and that includes destroying the club's integrity.

It's inevidable these dopes will get back in, judging by the support they had at the recent vote.

It's no wonder nobody wants to sponsor Parramatta.

Pretty much all our forwards (plus JWH) could make 100 metres per game if they made 11 carries. Mannah only needs 10. Obviously the main difference between them is the number of carries they are given, which is closely related to number of minutes (which is determined by the coach). Apart from Brown (minutes) and Vave (runs per minute) our middle forwards tend to share the load in attack. Terepo was more or less an afterthought in our attack this year:

Metres per minute:
3.24 Vave (28 minutes)
2.62 Mannah (35 minutes)
2.50 Matagi (39 minutes)
2.49 Alvaro (36 minutes)
2.34 Terepo (29 minutes)
2.27 Brown (68 minutes)

Kane Evans and JWH had these stats:
2.68 Evans (26 minutes)
2.51 Waerea-Hargreaves (54 minutes)

Obviously there is more to a middle forward than just metres gained, or else Arthur would be giving far more minutes to Vave and far less to Brown.

Trouble is Vave looks so over-weight that he can only play 14 minutes in a stint.

That’s a bit different to what you and others have been sprouted on the site... you pretty much named this website as the cause ...

But anyway carry on

Well you can't even type the other website's name without a derogatory comment automatically substituting it's name.

It's like you want an all out war between the two.

How about ditching it, and then maybe you may not have so many revenge styled remarks.

At least they still respect the LU name

Were any of those players elite level before being coached by Bellamy? Did some of those players make Bellamy the coach he is?

Id say neither question has a right answer, but I also don't think stats will tell you the answer either.

In reply, none of those players were elite but obviously showed promise. Broncos didn't even want Smith (and probably Slater, as both played in same team I believe). Cronk didn't even play as a halfback, a winger I think. I'd say Bellamy made them elite.
Now over to you Pou for your stats!

I don't keep the stats mate, I just source them from official sites such as NRL.com
