Rumours and Stuff

[Pazza]

The same junior development/poaching pipeline that got him those 12 players also got him their replacements. The wheels are only just starting to fall off the Panthers pathways system, which is expected. That level of investment would be unsustainable, and Packer’s loan would run out eventually.

‘You better put him back in’: The hunch that delivered Penrith a modern-day great

How Isaah Yeo could have been playing with Dubbo – not Penrith – had it not been for a sliding doors moment.

What happened to Parra is about to happen to the rest of the country

We are Burkes's aspergers litmus test, the replacement of the voting public with a new public

Their recruiting is light years ahead of ours which is why they are on the up and we are falling behind. And Gould has been there since 2021, not too long after saw improved recruiting.

And still won f**k all games. How good was their recruiting really? Are they any better than us between 2019 and 2022?

It's a very good question that deserves an answer

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Why do you defend the Arthur legacy like it's your kin, Pou?

Our recruitment/retention has little to do with Arthur’s. Or Ryles. If you were going to be that simplistic you would admit that Arthur’s got us Drown and Lomax, then Ryles replaced then with Pezet on loan for a year.

But of course you’ll only credit Ryles with the good stuff while blaming Arthur’s for everything you don’t like. Do you see why I call you merkins stupid? The only one who keeps bringing up Brad Arthur is you. I’m just saying, you can’t pick and choose when the coach is responsible and when to pass the buck to your latest scapegoat O’Neill.

If he’s as important as you claim, why wouldn’t he be?

Brad Arthur is a shit coach. A total failure.

No he’s solid. His record proves that.

Smart sides have plans. With far less money to spend id trade their 5 project player signings from that dominant warriors side over DeBelin and Kelly. To old men with no future who would of cost more.

All lies trigger me. If you were a good person they would trigger you too.

We need to win in 2026. We already have plenty of talented youngsters.

I still make the mistake of seeing a few unread pages and thinking there must be something interesting ahead only to then realise parrapat is off the lease again

 

[Tiger5150]

I guess my point is that signing him long term would be unrealistic. He’s too good to be second fiddle to any merkin.

Based on how many first grade games?

More than Isaiah Iongi when we decided to replace Gutherson with him. How many does it take to recognise quality?

Sean Russel signing a $5/600k x 4 deal with WA was not on my Bingo card.

As Bernie Gurr said on TCT, everything about Parramatta is usually not as good as you think it is and most importantly, certainly not as bad.

Which pretty much summarises this thread.

FMD I am going to dry reach the next time I read the words “front office”.

There sure are a lot of villain hunters on here.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Sean found his Alan Bond. Good on him. He's taken better coaching and systems on board and has turned himself into an NRL player. A $2m to $2.4m windfall that Our Eels would not match and rightly so.
I suspect there may be a few more average players turned into NRL players by the new regime.

I dont think any on here are blaming the club for not matching the offer.

It would been more ludicrous if we did tbh.

Sean got a payday good luck to him

The biggest concern now is who are we going to replace him with.

The stocks are already low.

Are we going to be more desperate and offer Brian Kelly a 3 year deal now instead of two years.

Which would be downright stupidity.

I see Josh Hannay and the titans have snapped up Hiroti from the Sharks whose likely going to be Brian Kelly's replacement.

Like whose come out with the better deal in that 3 way deal.

Probably the Titans.

Hiroti has more upside/potential and is younger then Brian Kelly.

 

[Jake the snake]

Jaxon Purdue should be the one we go after. Pure speed.

That did not enter my mind, don’t know where you got that from.
