Need to move with the future
Both clubs were the Magpies before they entered the same competition.
Very hard for supporters to support a change of name for their beloved Club.

Imagine if Gus wanted to change the Panthers to something else... would you be happy?

I think 'chocolate soldiers' is up for grabs.

He'd be happy if Max wanted to change the eels to the panthers

AFL is played for 4 x 20 minutes Quarters and NRL is played for 2 x 40 minute Halves. Both sports are for 160 minutes.

Per player? Your clutching at straws now... If the NRL could use it's entire 30 man squad in each match, do you think they'd get more money on their Broadcast deal?
AFL is a bit like NFL in that it goes for about 3 hours. Each little break is about 20 mins while half time break is about 45 mins. Therefor more add time for the broadcasters.

Not sure your exact point.

Hayne does everything you say better than French (and possibly Gutho).

He is just centre in our side as that is currently our best balance.

Nsw aren't a great template when talking about selections.

2 dally m medals at fullback is a better indication.

And an SOO series victory at fullback would indicate that Pou is talking out of his arse AGAIN!

When Jack Gibson first came to the club he wanted to change our name to The Rams (in reference to John Macarthur and Merino rams). I think the Parramatta Rams has got a good ring to it.

Oath. But if I remember correctly, Fitzy put a stop to it only to lament in later years that the eel was a difficult moniker to market and wanted to change it but it was to late for some reason. Don't know why though.

But we should have always been the RAMS it is our districts heritage and so much more kiddie friendly.

Oh btw, we will not win a premiership with this team, until we have Viliame Kikau or a Kikau type of player in our lineup. It needs to happen real quick. Like now, this season or by next season. This is our premiership window. If we don't do it now, who knows what our roster will look like in 3 years time.

Kikau was the real difference. He tore us a new one. I would trade virtually any 3 forwards bar Mannah, Alvaro, Edwards and Brown for Nikau. I would pay up to $800k for him.

Marata is the man.
