Rumours and Stuff

[TheRam]

Coming off an ACL the expectations for Penisini 2.0 are going to have be measured.

Anyone thinking he will waltz in and be a gun from day dot are kidding themselves.

The injury has probably set everything back 12 months and not getting the chance play against men and used to 24 weeks of rugby league grind in a season.

Is he even touted as being better or just as good as his brother?

 

[Avenger]

Tweedle has been excelling at 1 & 6 in Flegg. By all reports anyway.

*Twidle can play.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well exactly my point then. We don’t need backups. We need actual starters. Where we going to buy 17 of them?

We have plenty of starters. Nine of them made a grand final less than two years ago. Two others played Origin this year.

Gould doesn’t think our ‘aging squad’ is an issue. Reckons that most players at that age are still close to their peak and halves are just approaching it.

Moses is reaching peak now as a playmaker the next 4 or 5 years will be his best.

Just hope he doesn't spend 16 games on the sideline through injuries again.

I was exaggerating but even of all the ones who played in GF, who cares? They’re currently presiding over us 50/50 getting another spoon, so we need to look if they are going to improve us in future or not. Currently I have Lomax, Moses, Hopgood and maybe RCG but cost is pushing that. I’ve got high hopes for Guymer, and I think Hands can fill a role. That’s 6 of 17 at best I have any confidence of improving us. Where do you propose we just buy the other 11?

 

[TheRam]

I don't think we'll be hopeless next season. Just need to find 2 or 3 players

Exactly Hindy. Ryles just needs to get them fit(real Storm-Dogs-Panthers FIT!) and if he has presence as a coach who the players can respond positively to and we somehow manage to offload the dead wood we actually want to offload and sign 2 or 3 decent players and we can avoid to many injuries and or suspensions, then next season should be quite a good one and a real turn around.

But even though these things aren't in the outrageously impossible category of possibilities, do we have enough of the right people in place to make all that happen? Somehow I don't think we do.

As long as The Glacier is there we will continue to struggle to get the talent we need.

I would say get rid of your manager but he seems to be incompetent so the club is actually doing well here!

His Manager was the old recruitment officer Anthony Field wasnt he and not the blue wiggle one.

Might explain the incompetence we have in that department for a long time and now we have Ben Rogers another A-Grade dope.

We move from one clown to another clown.

If there is any truth to the Papenhuyzen rumours, I, for one, am pretty happy.

I'm wishing that Moses retires from rep footy to focus on a premiership with Parra....he has now won an origin decider in Qld, he has had 2 pretty serious injuries now from origin, a few years ago with the back break and now with the bicep.

I know we get the benefit of him coming back a better player when he's in origin camp but he's nearly 30 and if he wants to be the man responsible for bringing a premiership to Parra then I feel that should be at the expense of origin.

 

[TheRam]

Why is the club to blame ? It's the player manager who has f**ked up. The club has done a perfect job with Charlie, locking him in for 2 years on stuff all....have sook Field!!

Bet you Field/Charlie wouIdnt be asking for permission if he had done his acl rather than ankle.....eels 1 field 0

The club is to blame due to being so poorly run that nearly every decent merkin we produce can have their heads turned so easily by better offers by other clubs and don't care to wait and bide their time like at the better run clubs.

People should stop being so defensive about our club(admirable but in denial) and smell the coffee(sh*t) that the people in charge have been brewing for the last few years.

He won't come here.

Paps love the melbourne lifestyle and what it brings.

He will repay them for sticking by him through all his injuries its the type of the bloke he is.

Unfortunately none of those of players are anywhere near Parramatta.

Jnr started the year looking fit and moving well. Within 5 weeks he ballooned out and must of gained close to 10kgs.
Consider that he is the leader of our forwards. What the he'll was BA doing accepting this? He should of been dropped based on the weight gain.

BA went woke and refused to fat shame Junz. He was worried about being cancelled.

Welcome aboard Mike

90k is a lot to knock back and Origin is the pinnacle.

Manly fans are probably asking the same thing in regards to DCE & Turbo bros missing games

The whole structure of Origin needs to be looked at.

I think there better off blocking out 3 weeks in Mid-June and just play 3 weeks B2B with a 25 man squad.

Gives the clubs a break and once we get back to even teams removes the need for any byes during the year.

Cut the NRL back 22 Rounds is enough to sort out the top 8.

 

[TheRam]

What we need to be doing is targeting juniors from other clubs and not journeymen or guys in late 20s or ones their former clubs don't want.
Polishing turds doesn't work

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and FREAKIN YES!!!

Thanks for the welcome King.

True, the money would be hard to knock back....if it was a "normal" scenario with Clearly being fit I dare say MM may not have featured at all, so would he be thinking he would only get an Origin gig if Cleary is out at the time OR will Madge try and play them both moving forward based on how MM went this series??

I agree with the break period and shortening of the season, something needs to be sorted out there....the fact that we have to play over 2 months of footy knowing we have no chance of making the semis is mind boggling!
