Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Yea but we kept them (the shit ones) while they were young and got rid of the better ones.

Who the f**k were these better ones? Twal and Matterson? It took years for them to become first graders, and we needed first graders straight away.

Most of the players I mentioned are reserve grade quality

His. Denotes ownership.

He is. Descriptive of location, or attribute. Commonly shortened to he's. Never shortened to his.

I was thinking more of:

his: noise a snake makes.

Shit coach shit team shit club.

Well, you've got the first bit right. Second bit is where we, as fans, get to discuss how we would hypothetically go about rectifying the situation. That's what fans do.

 

[lingard]

Glannagan seems like a great coach. My problem is Morris has them going just as good and imo playing more attractive footy?

Who assembled the roster?

 

[lingard]

We'd have to buy it, like last time we were strong.

Exactly. And you don't usually get leaders in the bargain basement. You often have to pay overs for the right players. Arthur was on the right track signing Foran (could have worked out beautifully). We need to aim at doing something like that again. If Parramatta thinks that now we are 'officially' a development club, we can now rely on local juniors and a few 'value' buys, they are totally kidding themselves. Same with a coach. After all these years, we need a big-name, high-profile coach. Right now, sticking with the mediocrity that is Brad Arthur, is just a reaction to our previous history of instability with coaches. But in itself, it is not a sensible tactic.

 

[Gronk]

I reckon I am catching onto what fans like Gronk do. When the team gets to playing the way we have the last month, just stop watching on TV (or especially going to the ground). Following it in dribs and drabs online or on the radio. It is then way easier to put it in perspective. Schedule something else for when our next game is on. Talk to the wife or something.

Well perspective is part of the answer. So you got one word right at least.

So Twal/Matterson are the better juniors and we kept the worse ones, yet they are part of a side that is below us and who we flogged! Interestingly!!!

True.
Anyhows been told he will be at Dogs next season. We are committed the BA.

Matterson is in the frame for origin (18th man). Alvaro and the like are in the frame for Wentworthville

The revisionist history surrounding Matterson and Twal is funny as balls lol

Almost as funny as those that are saying we ended up keeping the better young players

You'd have to take that up with those people tbh...

And tigers are coming 10th.....

That's where you're wrong. They are solid first graders. Our team's problem is we lack forwards above that level.

 

[hindy111]

I dont rate either that high.
Matterson perhaps was 18th man cause he can cover centre,halves and lock.

 

[hindy111]

Does anyone think it is possible Tim was dropped to mentor Kafusi,Stefano and Stone?

 

[Noise]

Does anyone think it is possible Tim was dropped to mentor Kafusi,Stefano and Stone?

No. They all train all week together in the first grade squad. He doesn't need to be at Wenty to mentor them. As MJC stated Mannah was dropped due to his lack of leadership in the Panthers game. And he is stuck in Wenty due to playing average in that grade too.
Though with Tepai likely to be suspended (fingers crossed) I reckon Mannah comes back in this week regardless of his average form in Wenty.
