Are you f**king serious. Who here dreamed week 2 of the finals was never possible over 9yrs?
I wanted a minor premiership and title. And believe that was possible
We've done f**k all in almost 10yrs. He come in 2014 when the squad was on the up. Similar to say Ciraldo and the Dogs.
Ricky come in right at a hot mess. So did SK.



hard to say he rebuilt the club. Our pathways blow, no decent juniors coming through and unless you play for the rhinos you’re not looked at.

the club is still struggling in many ways. And don’t kid yourself. We aren’t in a better position than last season.

We have no injuries of note. We're just out of form.

Ok then what about, it's like BA riding the winner down the straight with 50m to go and then he decides it would be a good idea to pull the whip out and flog the crap out of the poor horse like a mad merkin and the horse pulls up bucks the boofhead off and starts to stomp the snot out of the imbecile on the turf while the rest of the pack fly right past to the winning post.

Is that more of an accurate analogy for ya then?

Unsure what people are sticking up for BA for. He has the rest of the season. If we get to week 3 I am sure he continues his job. If we keep spiralling with a side many picked as a top 4 side then he gets the boot.
It's simple.


the ones sticking up for BA, ironically put shit on sticky. They’ve both been at their respective clubs the same amount of years.

One has got his team to a gf and a prelim.

the other could only watch and be envious.

No I rate Sticky. He's a great example, maybe the best example, of how a coach's performances depend on the quality of his squad.

We would need to wait until the winning horse has crossed the line before we know if this is an accurate metaphor. It's a bit far fetched. Why would you even make such a prediction when we've been in this position before and come home strong?


We are actually far more likely to finish strong; going off recent history...

But nah let's totally write the team off because we happened to lose on the weekend.

I still remember before 2018 pre-season, we had the fans day and BA got on stage and promised a Premiership. haha he learnt a lesson that season.
He also promised no more spoons and a team we can be proud of each and every week. Fail fail fail!!

Well that is one of the major difference between me and you pou. I can make a pretty accurate prediction with what I see currently unfolding and allowing for previous events. You rely solely on stats and wishful thinking.

You should learn to read the room. I would say it would be less then 5% chance for us to turn this season around and win the title and I am being generous.

The only real chance of something changing of note would be if they sacked the coach right now and thus basically circuit breaking the negative momentum and hopefully restarting with a clean and new voice at the helm that may give them that injection of something different that they are obviously missing and in dire need of.

Going by how we've played this year against Top 8 and who we're playing, we SHOULD finish strong.

I wouldn't put my money on it though.

Hopefully other teams have a similar mentality to a certain percentage of the Parra fan base and will take us lightly end of year and maybe in the finals.

Maybe our bucket of luck will be full come finals time!

The following flegg eligible players have played NSW cup this year:

Russell
MK
JA
Sam L
Toni M
Peter T

While the following juniors/Flegg players seem to have some potential:

1. Who is we ?
2. You "know" based on what ? That the board have tapped one assistant coach on the shoulder already. That they brought in Woolford to coach 20's. That they brought in Ennis & Mary. That they employed Nathan Brown to run pathways ? What gives you zero confidence that the board / MON are not all over this ?


Hired to guys who where sacked by previous low ranked clubs as they where huge failures.
