Rumours and Stuff

We've lost two games by less than a converted try and you're convinced it means we can't play? When we win two in a row do you think we'll go on to win six straight? We haven't won or lost six in a row since the start of 2018. It's a freak occurrence. The last time we won five straight was 2021. It really depends on who you have to play.

They missing some of best players - Yes we miss 2 also. But we at home. Not beating sharks without Hynes is poor form at home amd up by 10. We self destructed. Is up to halves to take control and run the game. Moses reminds me of a guy who has all the skill but lacks the mental awareness and calm head.
He is a 900k halfback

He's never played on the edge in first grade and only twice in reserve grade. Looking at his lateral movement here you can see why. He's a middle defender:
So Matterson becomes primarily prop relief - or does minutes on the egde to cover weakness there until Lane's return?
With RCG and Matterson both playing 60, and Paulo playing 50, there aren't enough minutes left for Hopgood to play 80.
Depends how much wondercoah uses the other three benchies through.
Bring back Jake.
I wouldn't be surprised. The coach's abject failure to have a plan for back up 9 and have them on the first grade bench is astounding.

Flaws are no back up hooker after 18mths of searching and no capable backs/wingers to come into the side.


I think Russell and dunster have both shown promise. It’s just a shame injuries have hurt their development. And had they been fit, someone like Blake may of been shown the door, potentially freeing up a few more dollars for a replacement.

But was Blake such a dud at penrith? Did he ever have shockers like he’s had at the eels?

Problem is Dunster won't be ready if even is before mid season. With Russel out now we have no back ups to call upon in our top 30 bar Laizou who doesn't even make the start side in NSW cup so shows what think of him.

the problem is we have a lot of money tied in certain individuals. Some we’re getting value and some we aren’t. We have Blake and Nrown on around 500 k each, and one is getting game time (don’t know how) and the other isn’t. One million $$$ and for differing reason they’re offer sfa.

What happened to Louisou?

Parra needs to outsource the development of players from 18 to 21. Our system is a graveyard.

Producing a centre and winger shouldn't be rocket science. Bar Pensini who have we developed that is capable of a 10yr career in the NRL over the pass 20yrs in those positions. Semi ? Who else
