Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably but I do plan to live for another 55-60 years so there is always a chance but I am Just looking forward to sitting at Comm-Bank next weekend first.

You're only as good as your next game, and ours is very exciting.

They didn't roll through the middle easily at all until we had Cartwright at left centre and Matterson at right edge forward. These injuries didn't just disrupt our edge defence, they f**ked our middle rotation as well. Last week Matterson played 32 minutes in the middle and Cartwright played 35 minutes in the middle (and 33 on the edge). This week Matterson only played 23 minutes in the middle while Cartwright played zero. That's 44 minutes missing from our middle rotation compared to last week. That would've had a huge impact on our attack and defence.

I thought even early on they were making easy yards and we were struggling to make any headway until Paulo came on. It reminded me of the 2022 grand final except Penrith kept bombing tries.

Flanagan can coach. Look at where Cronulla were when he took over they were aids after the mess Ricky left them in. He dragged them from the bottom.

While Cronulla lucked in they got a storm side with no slater on GF day.

They had a 1 year window and managed to win it that season. With an ageing side.

Flanagan's sides have been built on Tough D and would scrap over a bone.

When was the last time a parramatta side was known for that.

That Storm side had Munster at fullback as well as Cronk at halfback and Smith at hooker. Not a bad spine at all. They got extremely lucky that Will Chambers is a dumbarse and didn’t pass to an open Cooper Cronk in the final few minutes or Melbourne win that game.

Tuilagi is a better player than Greig. He provides punch out wide and also in the middle if needed.

This aged well

 

[Wally21]

Th

He is still young at 25 can kick goals and is a leader.
800k for him or 800k for someone that hasn't played in a GF or Representative games?

This. The fact that Lomax is having a sook about being moved says all I need to know about his attitude.
no question Paps has had his injury issues. But he is a club man with 95% of the attack of Walsh, defence is above average and the work ethic of Gutho.
moving Gutho to centre may extend his career also.he is our modern day Ray Price

 

[Pazza]

Players are playing to the late 30s.

I wouldn't be writing Gutho off for another 5 years.

He doesn't rely on his speed and acceleration that the guys like Tedesco, Walsh and Turbo rely on that makes them great.

Gutho's strength which is effort and fitness won't disappear quickly.

And he is as fit as a fiddle. So fitness will never be an issue.

Did you see wat Josh Reynolds said when he gave it away??

Honestly the Tigers are a disgrace of a club. Their performance yesterday in round two highlighted just how poor this season will be, again.

Benji I’ve said from the start will be a horrid coach, the bloke is a weird cat, even his wife says so (they live in seperate rooms in their house).

I can’t see why the NRL persist with them. They have no real home, clubhouse or identity at all?

Merger clubs are the pits and they are about the worst of them.

I mean imagine if we merged with the Dogs? No wonder most their supporters are complete f**kwits.

Ain't we lucky Balmain didn't want to be junior one in the relationship otherwise fitzy would have merged with them in the late 90s.

And we would be known Parramatta Tigers.

Tigers didn't want to be the little brother so they chose Wests Magpies who ironically these days hold more power.

Hindy is referring to a player from his team, Dylan Edward’s, it’s confusing as he on the Riff forum too and supposedly supports both teams

Gutherson is not a better player then Dylan Edwards. He is still a very good player but Edwards is currently no 1 or 2. Guthersons about 6th-7th in fullback power rankings.

That Coates finish…… damn

I thought it was Superman.

Nope

I am guessing playing for the Tigers and Bulldogs and getting flogged on a weekly basis would send anyone to a early retirement.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I can't see much difference. Socially BA comes across as basic, and I'm being nice. I reckon my 80 year old mum who still has an accent uses more words in the English dictionary than BA.

Does your 80 year old Mum chase the collision and front load her efforts?

 

[Glenneel]

That’s a crock of shit really.

if they were breaking our line at will and our defence was so abysmal we’d have lost by 30 plus.

our scramble and slide defence for the vast majority was good. They got one try off a complete BS ref call, then it’s a 2 point game. Add Luai should have been binned and we’d have had a larger lead at half time

Despite being 3x premiers and us being down a winger and having every call go against us, they were at most 5% better then us

there was zero that was abysmal about our effort or attitude last night

That will do me, Luai only fined and not suspended!!! We lose a game and Bailey for another 11 days while Sivo makes an accidential high tackle, player not concussed and he gets 3 weeks. Are they really serious about head injuries or continue to play favourites with clubs and players?

On another matter who is to replace Bailey? Obvious player is Dunster but I watched NSW Cup game and appears he still cannot run at any speed. I'd suggest Blaize Talagi might get a run at winger.

 

[parra pete]

it took an injury to replace matagi But why didn't he replace him with

 

[Glenneel]

We were in front when we lost Tuilagi.

And Panthers scored when he was injured and not in the defensive line. Why didn't a Parra trainer run onto the ground demanding the game be stopped?

Only works for the riff

Why are we not trying to Sign Taylan May for 2025?

Or better put sign May!

Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona will only miss one game at the start of the 2025 season after it was ruled that three of New Zealand's Pac Champs game would count as part of his ban.

Hughes gone for a week. For pushing over the ref...

What did he say?

Gutherson is not a better player then Dylan Edwards. He is still a very good player but Edwards is currently no 1 or 2. Guthersons about 6th-7th in fullback power rankings.

Gutherson is a better defender and a better playmaker. Edwards is just better at go forward. He also plays in a stronger team so his weaknesses are rarely exposed. The merkin won’t even contest a bomb ffs.
