Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Well it is our problem atm.

We have a wasted spot filled up in our top 30 atm with a player who has a shit attitude and can't even make the reserve grade side.

It’s a normal risk taken by every club when signing players in the bottom of the top 30. That’s why it’s so easy to pick non top 30 players in first grade. Lumelume played in round one last year. Nobody kept him out. Loizou (top 30) played reserve grade. It’s a non-issue.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah that’s what I said. Arthur’s is shit at developing forwards. Everyone knows it. Look at Momoisea. Went backwards. In fact he’s not even a forward any more. His last four games were in the centres.

Moretti was our best forward last year according to you, and now he’s in reserve grade. He’s gone backwards under this coach!

It's an issue if we say it's a f**ken ISSUE.

Don't you even LU?

What we need to see is can he sustain it and actually get better stamina wise

The coaching staff know about his stamina because they saw his performance in the preseason. You didn’t.

PACKED OUT PARRA​

Parramatta is poised to create rugby league history by playing in front of four successive sellout crowds.

The Eels filled CommBank Stadium last weekend against Canterbury and will confront Penrith at a full BlueBet Stadium this Friday night.

Parramatta officials are then anticipating a further sellout against rivals Manly in round three and again against Wests Tigers on Easter Monday, both games being played at CommBank Stadium.

Wouold never know the logistics or economics of it all but I think its an opportunity lost not having this game at Homebush every year to tie into show patrons. Totally understand the home ground aspect though.

Not really worth moving it since 2016 the Easter Monday game hasn't got a big enough crowd at Homebush that Commbank wouldn't have filled at 29-30k.

These are the crowds for the Easter Monday at Homebush.

Crowd	Year
28611	2023
29056	2021
30420	2018
28249	2017

Highest average crowd at Homebush is just shy of the capacity of Commbank. For the sake of a handful of fans why partly fill one stadium (less than half) when you can sell out another.

If the Tigers pull there fingers out and get off to a flier with a few wins then the bandwagons come out of the woodwork and it could get 50k at homebush like it in 2014.

That match was in Round 7 that year and both teams were 4 wins and 2 losses.

Since then though the Tigers have been a shitshow that given there fans no hope by round 3.

For Parramatta we have no reason to move it. We have a world class stadium.

The rotation works fine the Tigers can play at homebush every 2nd year as there home game and if they are playing well along with Parra it probably gets 40-50k on a nice day.

Precedent suggests that it's a big if. There are generally a few Tigger fans that complain prior to the game because they are unable to secure tickets whenever it is our turn to hold the game. Realistically though the two stadiums are chalk and cheese when it comes to atmosphere and would rather it stay where it is.

Having just read his little ditty, I'm wondering whether back in the day Rammy was ever asked to go on the Mike Walsh show and sing for the blue rinse set.

 

[Twizzle]

If I was anymore Rammier about it I'd be Ramming my own arse.

That's why it's an incentive to have a season ticket.

For the loyal ones who pay the money to go all-season should be rewarded.

Hard to argue with any of this.....fair enough... as you were..

Originally I agreed but I think having that Easter show tie in would be very much one-off with a lot of people. It becomes a very expensive day to go Easter Show and football plus you’re removing 2 hours of Easter Show to go to football. It’s not a sustainable model to do every year

100% yes. All day.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cartwright yes. How much was the coach and how much was it himself mentally? Talent was always there .

Cartwright credits Arthur with reinvigorating his career: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/st...ound-brad-arthur-and-eels-earlier-cartwright/

But Cartwright is a notorious dope so he’s probably wrong.

Seems like Bryce has forgiven BA for not picking him in the 2022 GF for Nrown.

RCG and Wicks where very classy players bu needed a change. He never fixed Papali'i defense..
What about these guys

Ogden, Murchie,Moimesea, Rodwell, Tanginoa, Uelesai, Tepai Moera,Cody Nelson,
Rory O'Brien's, Matagi, Vave, Evans, Kafusi, Hipgrave...

Talented juniors - Mataele, Pauli Pauli , Hollis

I call throw enough darts and some come good.

I'm not even remotely a fan of BA's.

But he has runs on the board.

Also, Matagi, and Moeroa, had solid careers with us.

As for the rest, well, what's the old adage about polishing a turd?
