Rumours and Stuff

The Chase the Collision is required as it lays the foundation, It's how we beat the crap teams.

However, against the top 4, we are close to them in that aspect or equal. What we then don't have is that little magic or set move or whatever, that can put us on top of the top 4.

And that is what I think BA can't provide and we need some other source of coaching. Maybe Ennis can provide that.

Is there a strategist out there like Brian Smith who can work out weaknesses of opposing teams?

So BA provides the foundations... and the strategist will provide where we attack the opposition weaknesses.

One thing that really baffles me is that, we see opposition players injured and stay on the field, but we never attack that player, we actually move the ball away from them.

If we see an injured player on TV, doesn't the coaching staff?

I recall Tahu mentioning that if he sees his opposite number tired or being lazy or slightly injured, he would call for the ball his way to attack him. We don't do this.

They other thing that we chatted about briefly was that spirits are very high as are expectations for this season. They also said Penisi is a genuine superstar in waiting. Expectations are he will explode this season.

Thanks scoop. That's like saying Parra are losing a few star players for 2023. We all know it already.

Just busting your plumbs mate. Thanks for the info, but really you should have asked the follow up question in regards to Mahoney. My curiosity would have made me blurt out the question before I even knew I was asking it ffs!

Maybe Parra players aren't following instructions. At the end of the day, if you're going to attack an injured opposition player, you're going to also get beaten the next set.

Even the Storm didn't belt Cronk in the grand final where he played with the broken shoulder.

I have heard the same about Junior and Sims but totally the opposite regarding Rheed not wanting to stay.
In fact 48 hours before he was announced as joining the Dogs, I was told his preference was to stay at Parra.
My source on the Rheed issue is pretty reliable, unless Rheed was lying directly to my face.

I don't think a current player would feel comfortable telling a fan that he was wanting to sign with a rival Sydney club mate. It just wouldn't be the prudent thing to say. You would tell all non essential or non confidants that your preference and leaning is with your current club and that things are looking good to stay. Then when you signed with the rival you would state that they came in with an offer that was just to good to refuse.

I know that's how I would play it. No one wants to look like a merkin.

Tariq Sims will be 33 at the start of 2023. Big no for me unless signed for under 300k and one season.

Oh I thought it was for 2022. If for 2023, f**k his eyes no!.

 

[Stevie]

If he wanted to stay why rush to sign he had another year with his current contract. Lots change in a month let alone a year.

Exactly.

Sims in discussions with quite a few clubs per my source. Unlikely to move next season unless Dragons suggest it.

 

[TheRam]

He said he didn’t like you specifically.

Fair enough too. I can't stand myself either. That's why I wear a Scarlett Johansson mask when I look in the mirror and naked.

Wouldn't you be better off ditching the mask and wearing a ScarJo bodysuit?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe they just cut out the block plays, endless crash balls and the ball out the back to Gutho. Because none of that ever works and it was the highlights.

For a side without superstars we score plenty of tries.

Wasn't Clreay Jeff Robson 2?
f**king rabbit

His halves partner also plays for NSW, and is one of the game's best for LBAs.

It’s V’Landy’s ball FFS!! It’s like an 80 min multlball.

Read on Facebook we’re getting sims for 2022.

not sure if it’s true, but if it is, how do u sign two veterans, sims and Nrown and lose papa.

If that's true that would indicate one of Marata or Paps are going early. We don't need Sims in 2022 as things stand.

It would be classic Parra, Sims club form has been pretty Ploddy for a while.

 

[Incorrect]

If there's one word I would use to describe the Sims brothers, it would be "underwhelming".... For every "coming of age" or "breakout" performance you get from Tariq, he's pretty average for a dozen or so other games IMO

Veterans are generally more reliable in big games.

This certainly is a possibility. But we’ve heard all departing players have pledged their commitment to 22 in eels colours and attempt to break the drought. Also, I’d say it would cost us more to bring in sims and release one of our departing forwards early. Do we have cap the space?
