Rumours and Stuff

[hineyrulz]

Pou thinking about Jakey returning.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

He’s killing it in reserve grade. Still only 22.

Currently first for TA (equal first) and LBA.....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How excited would you be if we re-signed JA?

Just imagine the mire we would be in for years with mediocre targets like that....you would be like a pig in shit!

I’m just happy he’s doing well. But yes I’m always a fan of bringing former Eels back to the club.

 

[Pazza]

I just don't see how moses and dce compliment each other.

For me it's all about tyran wishart, he's just such a competitor.

 

[hindy111]

DCE 2 yr deal..yes or no?
I'd love to post a poll but don't know how.
What a halves pairing that would be.
Still an amazing player
I say yes

But we have a halfback.

I also hope he has a solid career. But he is probably only ready to be a NRL back up half now. The club handled his development and the whole situation poorly. If I recall correctly BA said the senior players thought he was ready.(I could be wrong)

You only consider playing 18yr olds in NRL when they look a generational talent in my eyes. Like Galvin,Walsh,Cleary,Hayne.

Best of luck to him

Four years later and he’s still not a regular first grader, but yeah no nepotism at Parra.

But we have a halfback.

he could play 6 … may not work but might and given our obvious struggles in attack on display on the weekend we definitely to add some threat with the ball
It can’t be all Moses

Leadership, professionalism. I wouldn’t be 100% against it.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Easy. Moses says 'Gee that's a nice shirt you're wearing, Daly'. and Daly says 'Not a cool as your slacks, Mitch'.

If your forwards dominate points will come. If the points don't come your probably still keeping it tight and in the match with a knock out chance.
Penriths dominance hasn't been the greatest rugby league we've seen. They are all just super strong and super fit and wear you down and then score the points. Nothing flashy really.

Panthers are a great example of their worst displays still being better than most teams better than average performance

 

[Tiger5150]

Poor Manly. Imagine letting go Humphries and Fainu and then DCE leaving. Who have they got left at halfback???????

Onitoni Large, they stole him from us.....its what the smart clubs do.

Manly are quietly setting themselves up

Thanks for running in at the first chance. Parra fans would have realised I was subtly setting up a JA joke, but anyway, nice job by your boiz on the weekend.

He wasn’t a regular first grader here either.

 

[hineyrulz]

But he was playing first grade at 18 lol.

Nothing to do with the coach whatsoever………..

 

[Delboy]

Good bet that the Roisters see DCE as a new version of Cronk, they would be odds on favourites to sign him. We would be 100/1 outsiders, Ummm Uncle Nick v Cousin Mark , call the fight off

I reckon it's a done deal.

It’s about maturity, not potential. For example, Luai didn’t get a run in first grade until he was 21, while the likes of Burton and Leniu got picked as teenagers. Jordan Rankin played NRL at 16 ffs. It wasn’t because anyone thought he was the next Churchill, it was because they needed a backup and he was mentally ready.

If you need a backup they only need to be good enough to be a backup. The reason you don’t generally use teenagers for that is because of maturity. In Jake Arthur’s case he already had an old head on his shoulders. He is currently captain of Manly’s reserve grade side. Whatever his faults, mental strength probably isn’t one of them.

It’s about maturity. You wouldn’t understand.
