Rumours and Stuff

[oldmancraigy]

ok then I have 4 questions for you on this basis.

1. What are Parra doing about their juniors and the pathways to NRL?
1. What are Tigers doing about their juniors and the pathways to NRL?
1. What are Penrith doing about their juniors and the pathways to NRL?
1. What is a development club?

What are questions 2 through 4

AND

Do they also come in four parts?

We could also be selling Parra Gimp merchandise that Pou would be modeling with backdoor trapdoors and easy wipe Lycra.

Bonanza baby! Ching Ching!!!

We need podcast nicknames.
Perhaps you could be " Morning Fresh "
One squirt is enough

Harold Matts is Mickey Mouse. We’ve won about half of all Matts comps and by SG Ball all the junior ‘development’ (poaching) clubs have caught up. It’s pretty much not an advantage, just somewhere for player managers to park their clients and shop them around for senior contracts when they turn 18. Like what happened with Mitch Moses back when the Tigers were a ‘development’ club.

Ok....so the Pou strategy is giving up.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hang on, so once again we are giving out top 30 spots to players who are not even proven at KOE Cup level? I am talking about Rich Penisini. He hasn't come back yet from an ACL and we extend him? Was he getting offers from other clubs?

He would’ve been. But playing reserve grade at 18 is a very good sign, even if it’s not a guarantee.

Some more help in the back row would be very valuable.
I feel that we are a bit thin there at the moment. Hopefully Lane can re-find form again but that seems unlikely. Cartwright is terrible in defence and I don't think his attack is good enough to make up for it. Doorey hasn't come along as well as hoped. Who knows what's happening with Mataele.
Matterson can still do well, but I think he seems to do better in the middle and we have Hopgood there already. Maybe he has to move between the edge and middle again.

Matalele is not fast enough out wide and exposed in defense. He is more a T Rex mould and perhaps middle is best.
W.Latu could.be the smokie. Doorey if could fix his defense which seems unlikely now.
Brazel? Is he rated?

It’s out of my control so it’s irrelevant what I do about it.

as is your opinion.

Three Latu bros and Feledy are from Blacktown (why arent they at Parra?)

We can’t stop them chasing the money.

Luke Laulilii
Heath Mason
Justin Matamua
Jordan Miller
Fonua Pole
Alex Seyfarth

Are not from Manly. You are full of it as usual.

No they’re not from Manly because Manly realise a squad full of kids is a wooden spoon waiting to happen.

Everything on this forum is completely irrelevant....

Just like you mate, I don’t know. But I do see which clubs benefit most from the player market and this includes the market for elite juniors. My conclusion is that they have inherent advantages.

No,
Blacktown is Penrith District.

Pffft Manly havent even made the semis 50% of the last 10years...
Penrith on the other hand..........

Mate. I DO know, because unlike you I watch rugba leeg and not just read NRL stats. Ive noticed one club completely invest in development of local juniors and they have been pretty good at it. Then I look at whether my club has that opportunity available to it.

 

[Tiger5150]

No,
Blacktown is Penrith District.

Mate Im aware of that, Pous point was that Tigers bought them from Manly and there are no inherent benefit in developing your own juniors.

Blacktown is 9km from Kellyville.
Balcktown is 30km from Penrith
Blacktown is 50km from Narrabeen
Blacktown is 25km to Concord.

Yep....in the early stages. Lets bookmark and look back in three years.

Taylor, Cleary and then Madge under the moronic management of Pascoe and the board, completely crushed this club. When they sacked Madge and appointed Sheens, his #1 priority was to re-establish the club as a development club as they were 2004-2012. With the clean out of the board and appointment of Richardson, this strategy has been strengthened and re-affirmed. This is an easy decision when our Harold Matts team was undefeated champions 2 years ago, but our current Matts are dominant as well and there are many in the pipeline. We had massive numbers of local juniors in NRL this year and the youngest first grade team in NRL history.

Yes we are shit, that is unarguable, but it is also unarguable that we are actually throwing everything at being a development club and we will know if it is successful and if we can keep these kids together in 3 years.

Penrith made the 8 twice in 12 years before a juniors first strategy. Tigers, Parra & Penrith are blessed with juniors.

I'm just teasing.

Blind Freddie can see that you are building nicely.

I dont think they will win a 4peat next year.

They have signed up enough quality to improve them up the ladder.

Galvin should be better next year as well.

Wish I was sure of that. Im happy with the decisions they are making at the moment but no confidence in the results

Coaching is the real worry

Coaching is the real worry

There is coach at Leeds off contract in 2025 if your interested.

Plenty on here reckon he is a good coach.
