Its like Sandow was picked in the emerging QLD sqaud so he must be good. His attack offsets his defense. Then it was you have have a half back that can defend.

Its used to be that you need young players to get better value for money. Now because Cronulla won a premiership you need more experienced old heads.

Now its Watmough was better then Scott because he had better attacking stats. When its plain to everyone (that doesnt judge a footballer purely by a number on a stats sheet) that Scott in is much better for our team.

The blokes a wanker, plain a simple. You can take that as gospel without the stats.
Is the argument that 'Watmough is better' or 'Watmough isn't as bad as you think'http://data:image/png;base64,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?:thinking:

Why do people still need to get into a dick measuring contest with Pou? You know whatever you argue he will come back with a reason why you are wrong......

There's an ancient Chinese proverb (YYCheng will back me up here) that goes along the lines of 'He who contemplates the size of his cock should never be allowed the use of a ruler'.

I think Pou is saying Watmough is better than Scott

Well he actually offered more because he contributed in attack as well as defence. I can show you the stats if you want to see them.

Because to use your analogy, he make everybody else's dick look huge by comparison. And we all like having a big dick.

Obvious!

Choc and Scott are equal for mine. Choc was more involved in the play (which saw him make more metres but also more mistakes) but Scott will play more games, both brought strong defence both when making tackles and a quick defensive line. Choc last year was also making a lot of cover tackles that if he weren't there they would have led to full on line-breaks. Both are exactly what we needed and we'll end up with more leaders when they leave than what we would have had if they never came.

I also think Scott makes a lot of mistakes in attack, he constantly throws offloads that aren't necessary and his hit-ups in the middle are often useless. I'd hate to be the player to take a hit-up after him. I hate seeing him in the middle in attack but love him in defence, I can't think of any other player in the competition who competes in every tackle to absolutely dominate the ruck. Also watching him upend lussick when he patted him on the head was f****** fantastic.

I think some parra fans have a low opinion of choc cos he didnt live up to their expectations and didnt finish his contract .... but in reality he was literally on his last legs and its our clubs fault for taking the risk on him more than choc's fault

IT is the $400,000 cheque no one wants.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal that seven of the eight NRL finals sides will reject an invitation to play English runners-up Warrington in February.

The two-game World Series will pit the NRL and Super League champions — Cronulla and Wigan — against each other in the traditional World Club Challenge.

The two runners-up — Melbourne and Warrington — are also supposed to meet, but the problem is Melbourne want to bypass the 35,000km round trip.

The next team in line, third-placed Canberra, also have no interest, nor does the North Queensland, who thrashed Leeds 38-4 in this year’s World Club Challenge.

Fifth-placed Brisbane, sixth-placed Penrith, seven-placed Canterbury and eight-placed Gold Coast Titans are also reluctant to make the taxing trip.

The NRL and Super League have an agreement that two Australian teams must travel to England, but there isn’t any stipulation on which team.

The NRL club to play the match will pocket $100,000 with the remaining $300,000 to cover costs.

The winner of the World Club Challenge will collect an extra $50,000.

The two games are scheduled for February 16 and 17 — less than two weeks after the Auckland Nines and while trial matches are scheduled.

With the NRL season to begin in early March, Melbourne chief executive Dave Donaghy has no interest in increasing the pressure on his players.

“We do have some serious concerns about travelling across to the other side of the world two weeks out from our season starting for what is effectively a trial match,’’ Donaghy said.

“We’ve had two trials matches locked in for a long time and that may be a better option for us as we look to build into next season.’’

Raiders CEO Don Furner added: “We haven’t been approached but certainly it’s not in our plans to be going over. We have trials planned and when we give our players their breaks.”

Cowboys football manager Peter Parr was even more blunt about the interest in the game.

“I would have to speak to the coach (Paul Green) — and I can’t speak for him — but I would suggest we’d be reluctant. It’s a long way to go for a game that doesn’t mean anything,” Parr said.

Broncos chairman Dennis Watt said: “Our club has a full program set for 2017 and hasn’t planned for an overseas trip.”

Penrith chief executive Brian Fletcher said the club already had six players on Four Nations duty and it was never on their radar.

Titans CEO Graham Annesley added: “I’d have to talk to (coach) Neil Henry but we have our trials locked in — one in Northern Territory, another in New Zealand. We are contracted to both. At this late stage, it (going to England) would be unlikely.”

The NRL may have to force Melbourne into travelling or face a non-final side heading to England.

Wigan booked their place against Cronulla with a 12-6 win over Warrington in Saturday’s Super League grand final at Old Trafford.

Agreed. And when they were both past their best at age 32 Watmough was still a better player.


If you actually think that Watmough' 1st and only year at Parra was a better year and he contributed more to the team then Scott did in his 1st year, then Pou, sorry mate but you have rocks in your head and I don't care what stats you throw at me. Watmough was a joke at different times through the season, sprinkled with some solid at best performances towards the end.

Scott was very consistent and at times excelled in his efforts. No if or buts, stats or revisionist history can change that. And I say this as I was one of the guys who thought signing both of them at this stage of their careers was the wrong thing to do. Scott earned his money, Watmough stole his.

The only time parramatta should play in England is after they have won a comp. No team has gone to england in the pre-season and won the comp that year.

No wonder no one wants to go waste of time really for a trial. If they want to organise nrl vs super league why not get the pommy teams to come out here for once.

Watmough had one bad game early on and merkins decided to blame him for Hayne leaving, that's all. His stats prove he was better than Scott. The latter never has to run the ball.

I will be honest.... If someone like Stagger perhaps who I assume is a little closer to the club come out and stated Watmough off the field and in training had a great effect on guys like Manu - KE - Tepai i would perhaps take it a little more seriously.
But FMD Pou Pou Assumabar .... You are assuming that Watmough had this effect. Are you sure it was not first grade experience that made these guys better players rather then watmough? And even if it was the Choc effect how the effn hell do you know?
The answer is simple. You f**king don't. You made it up from some thought in your head that you have perhaps manifested some how thru some sort of dillusion. I like your posts Pou, i do. I think i have learnt a bit about NRL taking note on what you have said. Especially about building a squad with the salary cap in mind.
But FFS when your wrong admit it or atleast don't fight it. And if your just guessing than don't make out its fact.
Then we will all respect you a little more.

Ok carry on .....

About 2", that would be 1.5" bigger then yours and Pou's got the ruler to back it up.

That's in the top 10 posts on here. Nice work Ram. But soon he will wrap a bit of string around it and measure the girth and do some kind of cross sectional area of head vs shaft effect and how it relates to ball size and exciting a women.
