Rumours and Stuff

[Parrapat]

Enter the Sandman

My kids made me miss both kick offs, is that our walk on song?

He played three games last year and did f**k all. He was pretty good in 2023, but not as good as Penisini, who is two years younger than him.

Penisini is just not a smart footballer
Catches the dropout before the 10, trails Lomax going for the bomb yet doesn't stay alive for the ball he's going to pop up, he goes for the defensive play...I want and have liked him but he won't last long..
We need 2 new centres..a prop, a 2nd rower and a lock to bolster our side.
Again no point picking Brown
...Papalii is a waste as a dummy half reserve...pointless
Put him at 5/8 or centre or wing
Played his best game for us on the wing..
Hasn't even had a dummy half run

Having seen the majority of my last 15 years of NRL games at Panthers/Bluebet and contrasting our home game vs Dolphins with Panthers home game vs us, I gotta say the Panthers ground announcer, music selection and general enthusiastic display is light years ahead of the Eels.

The style of music at our home game vs Dolphins was lowkey dirgelike R&B (or whatever genre it was) whereas the Panthers always have up-tempo music, lots of rock and also electro house like The Presets My People.

As for a walk out song do we even have one?

Eels need to take notes from the Panthers and how they amp their fans. Fatastic stadium and now that we have renewed vigour in Ryles' style we need to turn on the fan energy.

I am the total opposite to that. The Panthers music was way too loud. People want to have a chat before the game. I don't need shyte music 10 minutes out from kick off to fire me up.
I agree we could do with some cool loud music as the team runs on like "Enter Sandman" or 4 Non Blondes - "What's Up" or something of that nature.

That's the song we and ever footy team seem to use when we run out..

We do have a few Eels songs prior to it though.

The real parras in the tunnel and the Parramatta song by John English also the Coldplay paradise song..

Pou, come on mate. Will has been on the decline for 3 years now.

Will Penisni development???

Thoughts where is Will atm.

forums.leagueunlimited.com

I started this thread in 2023 concerned where Will was going.

And it was acknowledged by a lot of smart punters on here.

At the same time Pou was too busy worried about how many games we needed to win for BA to get his win rate up to 55%.

Please say you haven't watched CUP this year....

Carty is never playing NRL again. Just getting his pay cheque

Trying to maintain the Mt Druitt gangsta wannabes will cost you guys. Soon you will have enough for a 6 piece boy band.

Train & Trial means we can flick him if he acts up, meanwhile he has big brother & Romy to keep him straight. You are correct though, in the short term its probably going to cost us one of the "nice guys" of the NRL , a good Maronite boy. I wonder where he will end up? Parra likes the "good guys" no?

 

[Tiger5150]

He's also two years older than Penisini and having a breakout year. In previous years To'a has been ordinary. Meanwhile Penisini is having his career worst season:

What part of 'expensive centre' makes you think I was talking about your shit team? The last time Taylan May made 15 line breaks he played the entire year on the wing.

The part where you were responding to Jake the Snake talking about Taylan May?

Taylan May will not be our centre in 2026.

I'm fkn sick of saying we took teams all the way and lose..if we aren't getting the 2 points then it's not good enuf...
Talk is fkn cheap

Pou, come on mate. Will has been on the decline for 3 years now.

He can’t anymore, He is slower and needs to be f**ked off.

That is spank material for Pou for months!

You just made Penisini the new Pou fave!

Brown suspended 1 game for a push on Gerard sutton

 

[Soto]

Papalii is a waste as reserve hooker.
So take a leaf out of the dogs books...
Bring Papalii on to play 5/8 and play space cadet Brown at hooker...he is a defensive player after all and then ur giving papalii more exposure at 5/8...

What?

 

[Lemon Squash]

I’ve been a Penisini defender but I’ve had enough. For every good thing he does there are three bad things.

If he moves to another club and kicks on (he’s capable) then so be it but it isn’t happening at Parra.

Hopgood just looks completely lost with what his role is in attack and it’s rattling him leading to the errors. I thought he defended well today again except for the Mann play, but Joash didn’t help him.

 

[Avenger]

Actually that’s good news.

 

[King-Gutho94]

What?

Just watched the incident 26th min

He pushes sutton in the back when chasing a Moses bomb.

We never see a replay but its in the corner of the screen before Treacy catches a bomb.

Vossy mentioned sutton falls over as the dogs spreading the ball from kick return

Let him play rest of the year in reserve grade or let him go to the Knights before June 30...Papalli, Twiddle, Volkman or Hawkins to play against Titans

We need to give Twidle a crack and if it works out, put Brown in the centres when he gets back.
