Rumours and Stuff

He left a team that was playing finals every year for a team that was fighting for the spoon. He obviously left for the money. Why would he regret that?

I happen to know for a fact in this instance that your baseless assumption is wrong again.

in your quest to be smart and “other” you hav yet again proven your ignorance

Reed was literally tapped and had to take less money you numbskull - and I know this as documented fact

Maybe you should change your user name to 86 Baby, in line with the last time Parra won something.

I’m not touching the adjective in your name

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Lol.

We’re not all as smart as you Suity. Spell it out. Why would Mahoney regret going to the Dogs? Because he isn’t there any more? Does that mean he regrets coming to Parra? Changing clubs is a pretty normal part of an NRL career.

Malicious troll

you are just a miserable prick

it has to be developmental, it can even be performative any more

Isn't he 22? I didn't think you could make it if 22 and not in NRL.
Let me check my Bar tv.

It’s quite rare. Do you think he’s going to make it in the NRL? At 22 he hasn’t achieved much. Played one game in reserve grade last year. Played well against the Sharks’ reserve grade side in a trial. I doubt he’ll play as many games as Luca Moretti, who hasn’t played many. But every club needs backups.

Lindsay Smith didnt debut in NRL untill age 21. He played 1 game when rested everyone. At age 23 he played regular NRL. 2yrs later he played for Australia.

I think I can safely say most if all of us have no problem with Pezet moving on to broncos next year after seeing Lorenzo’s cameo last week , thoughts?

I get it’s early days, but I’m not sure where all the Pezet hype came from in the first place

He's a 7...dont expect any or many running metres from him..

Fui went alright. I’d even argue he was very exciting.

Well done to Teancum Brown, but if you’re excited about a 22 year old who’s barely played against grown men, you must have one hell of an eye test. This reminds me of when you merkins were excited about Wiremu Greig.

He came through 20 years ago ffs. There was a lot less money in the game and recruiting was nowhere near as professional as it is today.

Teancum Brown has been an NRL pathways player since he played Harold Matts at Wests. He’s not an unknown.

Well you can’t prove it so it’s irrelevant. You might as well be making it up.

in your quest to be smart and “other” you hav yet again proven your ignorance

Reed was literally tapped and had to take less money you numbskull - and I know this as documented fact

So his career earnings peaked at Canterbury, yet you think he regrets his time there?

You’re the one dogpiling some merkin because he has a different opinion.

Pre-season challenge 2026 champs, thank you very much.

Ok its now set in stone that Brown will be a future SOO rep as well as lead his country to win the world cup.

The indication for being an NRL player isn't necessarily playing NRL by 21, but playing regular NSW cup by 21 (there are always exceptions but it's pretty rare if a player doesn't).

Smith is poor example. Brown resumes is poor in comparison to Smiths

Smith was a regular top 13 starter for panthers flegg at only 19. Brown barely played SG ball at 19 for West's.

Smith was then starting prop for panthers NSW cup side in round 1, at only 20. Covid then killed the comp

At 21 Smith started in 11 NSW cup games before Covid killed the comp.

If Covid didn't kill the comps, Smith probably has played 40 nsw cup games by 22 (assuming no long term injury). And maybe a better chance of debuting earlier then he did.

That is type of resume you want of player to indicate they may have genuine potential to be an NRL player. Not only one NSW cup game by 21.

BTW, I hope Brown makes it, and he did good in the trials! And obviously he has impressed Ryles and co.

I won’t lie. I was excited about him after we beat Souths who always trounced us.
