Hands had how many off seasons to show what he’s capable of? Penrith let him go for Mitch Kenny ffs. Don’t pretend he’s always been a gun. He is not in the 500 highest paid players in the game.
Maybe Penrith just got it wrong??? Clubs can do that you know as much as you don't want to believe it. Plus they did also have Api at the club at the time. It's not like letting Rheed walk out the door and replacing him with a geriatric.

Why are people convinced HANDS is the answer and am Nrl player of the future?
The sample size is to small. In 6 weeks time we may not see him in the NRL again.
What we do know is he is a large body and has excellent tackle technique and his passing is ok.
To be a good NRL hooker he will need to show he can create TAs,LBAs and run meters.
He looks to have the basics but I need to see what creativity he has in his game.

Maybe he just looks far better than the geriatric who was supposedly going to transform the team and the attack?? Don’t forget his leadership even though his shit decision making have cost us points in every game this season.

Hodgson played well in rnd 1. But let's be honest. If we had Reed we are 4/5 right now.
Hodgsons leaked points and made poor decisions in very close games.

As I said before a ball was kicked off we need Waqa to fire. I thought he would to try and earn a contract. He hasn't
We need Hodgson to fire. He still may but doesn't look good.
We needed N.Brown to get some form. He is gone and not yet replaced.


So right now we are exactly where I'd expect considering these guys didn't do what I had hoped. The silver lining is Russel/Haze/Hands/Grieg are getting a chance now. Let's hope they shine.

Just guessed wrong did they? It’s up to the player to show they deserve a spot. We didn’t even have to offer Hands a top 30 spot to get him to the club. It’s great that he finally pulled his finger out. If he’d done it sooner he might’ve had a top 30 contract already.

Clubs can do that you know as much as you don't want to believe it. Plus they did also have Api at the club at the time. It's not like letting Rheed walk out the door and replacing him with a geriatric.
The same Reed Mahoney who missed ten tackles on the weekend? Massive loss!

In a month whineyrulz will be off him.

Can’t f**king wait merkin!! And in a month no matter how he’s playing you’ll be defending him no matter what!!!
If the Tiger's roll us this week, in a month from now none of us will give a tinkers cuss who's in our side, we'll be going through the motions and planning for next season!

If the tigers roll us we may as start planning for next year on Tuesday.
Who, with their hand on their heart and no fence sitting ifs and maybes, thinks that we will lose to the Tigers ?

I don't think we will if we are remotely up for it, but it would be the most Parramatta thing to drop it, so I am worried.

A better question might be to ask who is supremely confident that we win this game?

BA is not a motivator and my worry is that the players and coaching staff don't appreciate the desperate stakes of this game, given our start to the season...

Tbh they havent got a bad pack and bench on paper

We're the type of team that plays other teams into form

We should win but I'm not confident
