In my 24 years as a parra fan I dont think we have had a big name signing pay off it always ends in disaster.
Hands was ordinary over 80 minutes vs Dogs.
A recent widely-shared article shows our set completions have been much lower in the first half than the second. That’s going to make our starting hooker look worse than whoever is playing the majority of the minutes in the second half. But maybe first half set completions point to the experience and leadership of our starting hooker?
Good. The whole point of the salary cap is to spread the talent, not lock weak clubs into paying overs to retain their own players ffs
Keep on trolling - the more you can needle and mock parra fans, the smarter you will feel!
f**k you're a relentless advocate for mediocrity. You never cease to amaze me. HODGSON IS f**kING GARBAGE. He will go down as the worst signing in our recent history. A brain fart from our management and you are happy to breathe it all in.
So maybe the starting hooker has had something to do with the poorer first half set completions this seasons...? Who can tell...
I already feel smart.
I'm backing him to thrive with better ball control. He's an Eel ffs.
It's possible. With so little data it's too soon to tell. Gutherson was the scapegoat after this many games in 2016. Parra fans are a fickle bunch, and you'd be smart to ignore their opinions.
You'd have to be off your head to think it's a level playing field. Merkins focus on why our club isn't as strong as the top half dozen clubs, but don't ask why those half dozen dominate the other ten (now eleven) year after year. Cleary couldn't get Wests into the finals but he goes to Penrith and makes three grand finals in four years? Something definitely stinks.
We could offer them Hodgson too
Nah, we need to find quality middles
You applauded the Eye Test dude's analysis yet you and many on this page are ignoring what he said. It's about possession. When we have it, a rookie hooker can play for 80 mins. FFS just read it again. Some people are just blinkered by a Hodgson must be dropped at all costs mindset.
I’m pretty sure that analysis indicated that Hodgson is shit. Perhaps you should read it again.
There’s no doubt with more possession Hodgson would be better. IN ATTACK. But other then reduced workload, his defence would still be awful
No, the entire analysis was based on our performance with and without possession.
