But had such a short NRL career. Was he really such a gun?
He was one of your best in the GF, probably second after Martin.
Soren is about to get a major Pou. Splaining!!
I like the look of those threads!!@hineyrulz
Has already done 2 threads on BA's greatest hits and misses
It should have been nominated for the 2023 LU thread awards
Bea’s greatest Hits!!
Ok after my insanely excellent Bea Baldies thread which was to promote some discussion in a dying forum I did promise to do his greatest hits. Same as before I will try to put a team together in the positions they played. 1 - King Gutho - easily Bea’s greatest success story and fast...Bea’s Baldies!!
I’ve decided to do a thread of Bea’s baldest recruits just for all of us to discuss and reminisce of the good times. Don’t worry I’m going to do a Bea’s greatest hits thread as well. We’ve done quite well the last few years with signings but this year has come up snake eyes. I’ve tried to...
I reckon that Baldies team you named would struggle to actually win a game in the top grade if you gave them 11 years under BA.
I don’t think that’s how it goes
According to you, Gould paid him $500k. If true, that implies high demand from NRL clubs. Hardly Penrith being the only ones to see something in him. He’s always been a player who runs the ball well. Every club knows it. But his defence is poor. Penrith are best placed to hide him, which is why they signed Blaize Talagi. I’m keen to see if Penrith re-sign Alamoti and stand him and Talagi alongside each other in the defensive line.
So are Momirovski and Staines. Plenty of teams have cheap outside backs. It allows them to spend more on more important positions.
How depressed will you be if parra win a comp under Ryles and your endless defence of cousin Brad is undermined?
Was he? He made the fewest runs, metres and PCM of all of Penrith's backs. Tackled at 80% efficiency. You're a worse judge than the Clive Churchill selectors.
They will. But they are also going to be on a lot more money next year.
That's why he cost f**k all.
That's why we kept Tago and not Harper.
They would've all been putting shit on his defence, like the Dogs fans did, and like our fans did with Talagi.
You get the players you can. It's not like we were fitting a squad full of stars under the cap for all the years before Arthur's joined the club. Even going back to Brian Smith we signed plenty of plodders. Look at this squad: https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/seasons/nrl-2004/parramatta/summary.html
Or Moses?
Can't help bad luck.
I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm saying if he is on $250k it's because his defence is poor. When it improves he will cost more.
The grand final wasn't won on big plays, it was won by 80 minutes of hard work in attack and defence. That means Penrith's wingers and fullback making 60+ carries with the ball, and all of Penrith's middle forwards toiling away without it. Martin and Alamoti were there to take advantage of a couple of rare defensive errors by the Storm. Errors caused by the hard work that came before it.
Yeah unlike all the great signings our club made since 1986. Remember when we brought in Cronk and Tedesco and won two premierships? Good times.
