i'd have jimmy back at parra in a heartbeat he's a winner imagine him as our assistant coach and running around behind the line barking orders like langer does https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...e/news-story/e2846cae052bf58364beda7440a88acb

Looks like the Eels Waqa signing is a Good decision and not a Wonga decision...

Backline is one of best in comp now.
All are on the way up or in peak bar MJ.

Gutherson - up
Sivo - up
MJ - Down
Blake- peak
Fergo - peak
Brown - up
Moses - up

Forwads need ironing out. We want guys whomare good enough tonplay at nrl level but are still yet to peak or are at peak. Nothing wrong with guys like MJ who are on way down cause at there peak they where top 5 in position. They are still able to compete and a good nrl level.

You do not want guys like Mannah on their way down. His best level isnt great so a slight drop off and he becomes NSW cup level.
BA is learning.

Terepo is NRL level and in his peak. Like it or not he is capable of playing at NRL level for 3 more years. He wouldn't cost a bomb either so provides great value and little risk.

Why is Waqa at peak when he is only 23 ?

 

[hindy111]

Why is Waqa at peak when he is only 23 ?

He is 24. If he was a play maker id say on way up but he is a centre. He may have better years or worse years but he is certainly at his peak skill,speed and power wise....

Moses might be physically in peak but his temperament and learning control is still improving. I reckon most halves are at peak 25-31.....

Do you really need to ask why?

OK so really you have NFI. Having a bet each way.

Why so aggressive?
Of course I have an idea. He is at his peak. Like ant player they have better years then others. That can be due to how team is performing also.
Outside backs that are out and out superstars are playing NRL by the age of 20.
Look at Latrel,Hayne,Tedesco,Morris twins,Xerri,Holmes, Rts etc.....
Blake will not reach these guys levels. He is at his peak.And should remain there for next 4 yrs. Its a very good level as well. Just not quite origin level but dam close.

 

[hindy111]

And like I mentioned he is 24. When start to bag some shit on others please check basic facts like the players age. Otherwise you come off like a bit of a twit and it makes it hard to take seriously.
I operate on facts and sports science along with history from past to present.
Maybe best sticking too Donald Trump talk or Global warming.

That is all and have a nice afternoon.

Blake's form last year was as good as any of those merkins other than Mitchell.

Maybe he was at his peak last year?

Having seen a fair bit of him play I actually think he will go close to playing origin. When he's on he is difficult to handle. Hopefully the club confirms it soon as i see him being a great acquisition. Speed, skill and agility..

He is a gun player. Defense can be shaky compared to your origin level guys. But hey J.Roberts cant drfend to well.

Not aggressive merkin.

Last year the NRL selected a Kangaroos merit team.

Slater 35
Trbojevic T 21
Inglis 31
Mitchell 22
Addo-Carr 23
Munster 24
Maloney 32
Klemmer 24
Cook 27
McGuire 28
Cordner 26
Frizell 26
Trbojevic J 24

Tedesco 25
de Belin 28
Papali 27
Vaughan 27

Average age = 26.4

Even if outside backs peak earlier than forwards or halves, Waqa is only 24. Sorry I just don't buy your premise that he has peaked. Indeed the only evidence of a player peaking would be after he has declined. Then you can pinpoint when he peaked.

IHO he has plenty of upside especially when he plays on the right with Fergo.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I need to see them on a chart @hindy111

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah he's been a defensive shit show. I'm surprised they persisted with him at centre - if he put on some weight he'd be a great winger.

But this year his defence has improved, even while his attack dropped off. Like Moses last year.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

He was. (Waqa I'm talking about). Played 18 games as a 20 year old I'm pretty sure.
