This reminds me of the time St George has two hookers that were both held in high regard and now both don’t play NRL. Does anyone know who I’m talking about ?

Mitch reign and cam king.

Rein and King

Rein and King

Has Rein been punted from the Titans? I thought he was ok this year. ESL?

Still in the NRL: https://www.titans.com.au/teams/telstra-premiership/gold-coast-titans/mitch-rein/

Since 2012 the only year he hasn't played 20+ games was 2017. This year he played every game for the Titans.

I love pete's humour but I didn't see it in that question.

Perhaps you'd care to explain the joke.

No.

That’s what I thought. And questioned whether Rein (as Gary suggested) was one of the players Avenger was talking about when he said they no longer play in the NRL.

You know the answer to that. Always into people with the smart arse questions, FFS.

I knew the answer? I’m not sure I agree with that. I am genuinely interested in what he meant and there is absolutely zero issue in me asking him about it.

For the record I’d also like to register the fact that I responded and didn’t feel the need to have a sook about being interrogated with ‘questions’. Ffs.

At first I thought it was King and Rein as well. There were huge wraps on both of them and merkins were wondering how they would be able to keep both. Now one is a marginal first grader and the other isn't even worth a top 30 spot.

Hookers suffer greatly from rule changes though, as the balance of demands (defence vs running game vs decision-making vs skills) changes every few years.

It is Rein and King. Didn’t realise Rein was still playing NRL. Where is Peats? Injured again?

Mahoney is a very good hooker with great defence. He is like Matt Keating on peptides.

Rein came off the bench in every game Peats was available this year. And I think started in the games Peats was injured.

Why would Parra buy R Jennings when we already have Ethan Parry? Can't see it happening & Haze Dunster has been in the top 5 trainers. I'd be amazed and disappointed if this happened. They are both as good as him and Parra don't have Inglis to serve tries up to him on a platter

Rjennings is deff a name that may end up in origin. At this stage he is miles infront of those 2. But I agree only if he is signed to play centres and BA wants Gutherson at fullback long term

Mennings at his best is quicker and a better defender than his brothers. Rennings would be the best attacker though. Also better suited on the wing.

And Robert isnt near peak but on the way up.

I like the look of that response.

I didn’t realise Rein was still at the Titans.
Things are normally pretty grim if I watch them play.

French is similar to Luke Burt (similar strengths, similar weaknesses).

I am sure French can play a role for us, but he's a number 1.

I'd take Burt over French in a heartbeat. And he was a goalkicker. But I get your point.

True.

But I have faith in French - I've seen enough of him to believe he is a quality player.

Ian Walsh and Elton Rassmussen.

Lol I’m actually certain your his father the way you carry on about him. From what I’ve heard, and believe me my source is better then yours that yes the club has high praise from him but not better then Mahoney. They are also very concerned about his body and they believe it may not hold up and being only 18 is a huge worry, I know your only going to argue with me so don’t bother because what I know is truth not speculation and praise like you.

FATHER.! You got me champ. Bloody idiot.!
I'v never hidden the fact i'm a huge fan of the talent coming through. If you look at my posts dating back for awhile now iv held the current crop of kids in high regard. Parry, Dunster, Schneider, Brown, F. Utoikamanu, S Utoikamanu. Kaufusi.
I can tell you i'v been in and around league for a long time, I am currently employed in the industry and i have relationships with Players, Coaches and Recruitment at allot of clubs including Parramatta.
Having the relationship i have i hear first hand information from all the above mentioned and i share with the group for anyone wanting information that i have been informed..
I have been a Parramatta supporter for many years and had 2 stints at the club over the years.

As much as i go on about Brown, Schneider and co, I remember you also being a pork chop and me accusing you that you were Mahoneys father or relative as i shared an opinion that you didnt agree with..
Yeah i might get excited regarding some players but its information told to me from sources not only at Parramatta but those in the know of NSWRL and National rugby league.

Every single information i have ever posted on here is FACT from highly credible and reliable sources at the club. Plus things i have seen first hand.

With your limited posts you only ever seem to pop up and post something when i compare Schneider to Mahoney and every time you don't agree with me.
Mahoney has over 2 years on Schneider and all round skill wise Schneider is better than Mahoney.
Yes there are questions regarding his shoulder after surgery and yes he is young and his body shape needs a few kgs.
But his doing NRL pre season as a middle forward at 18yo and beating Mahoney in nearly everything at training FACT.! And mind you a full year and some before Mahoney ever did.!


Thanks for your input mate. Come say hi sometime at a game,
