Rumours and Stuff

No one's fault that we are coming second last

Correct, in that it's not one person's fault, there are about 4 or 5 that I could name including 1 who is no longer with us.

And speaking of which, BA is no longer with us guys, it really is time to let go and get on with your lives.

Maybe even try some Yoga, or even meditation. Life's too short.

Sign Holmes have 3 kicking options in 2025!

We should then sign Isaako have 4 options and 3 pretty decent field goal kickers as well!

4 options.

1. Lomax
2. Moses
3. Holmes
4. Gutho

Yeah no way would I be offering 900k

600k max

Cowpats are releasing him for a reason, he's 29 and seems to have lost a bit of pace. I'm surprised Ryles is chasing him unless we can get him on the cheap and short term, say 2 years and no POs.

I'd rather we were chasing 20 year olds with the potential to develop.

Not one person, but several off field have ensured Parramatta are in this position.

The largest issue this year has been our defence. Our attack has been solid all year (despite not having Moses). If we can sure up our defence, there are plenty of games that we end up winning. Someone here brought up the fact that we are 5/10 in games we led at half time, and in all of those 5 games, we've ended up conceeding multiple tries late in the game to take us out of it.

Personally I blame Benji.

We have led at halftime in ten games this year, despite all the injuries. Of those ten games we lost five of them.

So we've won half of them and lost the other half?

Sounds like what we would statistically be doing anyway.

It’s still the fifth worst attack in the comp. I’d hardly say that’s solid.

Since BA was sacked we have averaged 23 points a game, which put us 7th in points scored. Considering we've played 10 games in that time and some have played 11, that's not a bad result when you consider that our best player has been out for essentially that whole time.

Does that count for the defenders as well??

Or just anyone who knew he was as stale as month old bread???

 

[EppingEel]

Also while I am looking at the stats, we have had the second worst conversion rate at 69%. With Moses and Lomax, I'd hope that number rises to around 80%

 

[EppingEel]

We are also dead last in kick metres. Yikes.

 

[Chipmunk]

I don't see Valentine Holmes leaving the Cowboys to come to Parra for less than what he's currently on at the Cowboys...

We wouldn't be even close to his first choice team in Sydney if he wanted to come back to Sydney.

Both parties should just move on and stop wasting everyone's time.

That will always be the case with Moses not playing more than a few games.

Fair enough.

Sounds like what we would statistically be doing anyway.

I would expect a team to win plenty more than 50% of games it led at half time.

 

[Avenger]

His career was short because he’s unsuitable for coaching, not because his team finished last.

I’m deeming BA to be unsuitable too because since his sacking he has been exposed like a Portuguese chicken.

whats the harm in sitting down and having a chat? Ryles is a go getter, he could have relaxed in the off season while coaching at the storm but instead he took off and went and did some coaching with the england national rugby team.

we now have someone with that sort of drive, we all know BA wouldnt have talked to holmes.

Leeds are doing okay

We'd have to pay him at least $1m a season.
