You can only polish so many turds before your hands get dirty and need a clean.Shame the turd polishing just can't keep up

I keep reading this figure for Paulo. Surely it’s not true.Paulo has been a big part of our problem this year. Form has been awful all year. Apparently he is on 950k
Very Poor use of our cap
You’d hope not, and we don’t pay overs apparently so I reckon it’s more like 800k which is overs on what he’s dished up this season.I keep reading this figure for Paulo. Surely it’s not true.

the bloke needs a break big time, he didn't really have an off season tbf.
Reg nearly played the whole game when Jnr was out. The season is on the line and they get paid the big bucks Pazza.BA plays him along minutes every week and has guys on the bench lucky to play 10 mins. Hard to understand

Maybe he's not the mastermind after all. Maybe the difference is funding and that's why Gould was so important.Why didn’t Matt Cameron build the system when he was at Parra?
The merkin needs to get fit. The long minutes are good for him.BA plays him along minutes every week and has guys on the bench lucky to play 10 mins. Hard to understand
Paulo has played fewer than 50 minutes six times this season: https://www.parraeels.com.au/teams/nrl-premiership/parramatta-eels/junior-paulo/Lol, they sure do get paid.
Load management is a real thing also. Problem is even when the season isn't on the line they are still playing huge minutes.

He has also played 60+ minutes four times. But we also have an option to play him in three stints (with the middle one separated by half time) so he's not on for too long without a rest.

And in turn what about the bench forward who plays 10? Whens he going to get match fit?
I think every middle defender gets less effective with fatigue. The question is how much less effective is too much. Obviously 80 minutes is too much for plenty of middles or they would all play 80 minutes. I guess it depends on how effective the bench merkins are. Is Paulo's 60th minute better than Greig's 1st minute? I'd say surely not. But what about his 40th minute? This is the calculation Arthur's needs to make, and why Paulo's minutes are different (sometimes very different) every week.I don't think the big fella even needs a rest? What do you think?
For years and years Gould has marvelled at Barlow's ability to play long minutes (lungs of a walrus)
When he goes back to reserve grade after a month to play 60 minutes.And in turn what about the bench forward who plays 10? Whens he going to get match fit?

He has been a big minute prop his whole career. Would you prefer he plays 45 minutes and Makatoa gets more minutes?
Nobody cries that our halves play the whole game. Or our edge forwards. Or even our 13 (when we have an 80 minute lock).
In Paulo and RCG we happen to gave 2 guys who are not only outstanding props, but can go pretty well 80 minutes if required. Sure, give them a spell for 15-20 to allow them to go harder in the 60-65 they are on the park, but let's not call for them to be substituted so that Ogden gets a go...
Paulo's defensive lapses are there 1m in, and aren't solved by having him play less minutes.
By all means have a whinge, everyone is welcome to whinge, but please be reasonable about what you whinge about!!
1: You cant compare 110 kg guys to backs..
2: Paulo has shown after 20 minutes he gets lazy in defense cowboys game 3 tries in the first half directly through him. It just boneheaded to keep him on after 20 minutes.
Do we just go ok because your on stupid amounts of money our attack and defense should suffer because we expect big minutes from Paulo and Reg?
Panfers forwards last game Fish 52 minutes - Smith 41
Jason Taumalolo went from 80 minutes to 50-60 a game.

That's how many Paulo usually plays. What's the problem exactly?Jason Taumalolo went from 80 minutes to 50-60 a game.
Yep, it's repeat efforts rather than cumulative fatigue. So if he has to make two or three tackles in a row he starts to lag but then he gets a breather while walking back after the kick and he's ready to go again.I think his defensive issues are there from minute 1
