Cool 3d magic eye pic Casper.

Took me a few minutes but I did see the lighthouse. Been a while since I've seen one of those.

Might be time someone looked at tweaking our side's defensive structures, techniques and patterns.

This is the worst defense I think we've had in a while. Surely it can't be that hard to wrap up the ball when three tacklers are involved. Panthers kinda did a parra late 2009 on us.

LOL at Casper thinking Penrith didn't play well. They were on fire and we were shit. Simple as that.

Kearney has lost the playing group, they don't give a damn by the looks. It's easy to blame Kearney but FMD when does the buck ever stop with the players???? It was all Hagans fault, and look at the way the players curled their toes up in 2010 when things got a little tough???? Now it looks like they have gone through another coach with Kearney. These blokes can't play for themselves and each other so why would they bother to play for a coach and their fans?????

^ This.

While Kearney needs to have questions asked it's about time the players be put on the spotlight. It's not like the players in the team have reached any dizzy heights apart from 2 months in 09.

A few of them are on notice so they've decided to white-ant the boss.

How many coaches have they done that to over the years? My guess is plenty.

It's happened quite a few times since 06, even in 06 the players clocked off until Smith left. Only when JT took over they showed something.

SHOCK - SHOCK - SHOCK - I must have been sleep walking or you've been on the turps real hard. :lol:
what he is saying is we were so godawful we made them look good by comparison they dropped a fair bit of ball themselves you know and gave some dumb penalties away against a better side that first ten minutes would have seen two tries scored

Look if sk has a 450k get out clause i reckon he would be on that. He should take a 180k cut and use that to hire jt to fix the defensive problem first and then the attack.

The way i c it, if you have sk here for 2 more years. Thats 900k. Get rid of him now if he doesnt take the paycut and get help we will be out 450k. Sign up jt for 200k and at the end of the 2 years we will be better off.

We made penrith look way better than they are.
They had 40 put on them at home against Souths last week.

I thought Townsville was a one off but they brought that sh*t home with them. One of the worst performances if not the worst performance ever witnessed at Parra stadium

I say JT is a must as assitant immediately. I don't want to see Ricky Stuart anywhere near the club. JT has a footballing brain. I supported SK last year as I think he did a good job with what he had, we competed week in week out and were unlucky not win many games. Lacked the class. We actually have a better team now.

I hate counding anyone out after a heavly loss but I have been critical of him from the start, Ryan Morgan isn't first grade material. People defended him here saying he has good defence, well that went out the window tonight.

Time to start recruiting the best young talent not being given a first grade chance at their respective clubs and blooding them next year. There will be no eay fix here.

Something is really wrong, the players looked likem they didn't want to be there and that meant I didn't want to be there.

Having a f^&ken rant because I'm p*ssed off like many

Lol @ talking Penrith up. We gave them 65% possession. Of course they put 30 on us.

It just means the coach has lost the dressing room. Much less expensive to pay the $450K and cut this numpty SK now, than to watch this play out over the rest of the season.

No new players will want to come to or stay our club for 2013 if the Board doesn't fix the rot by getting rid of the guy who can't bring it together. Not attracting or keeping players in the future will be much more costly than paying to get rid of SK now....

It's hard to completely judge Steve Kearney on his efforts at Parramatta. Clearly Parra have other problems they need to take care of. The newspaper articles late last year highlighted some interesting front office issues.

Dumping the coach is a band aid solution for a club that has bullet wounds. To start with, the NRL side trotting out on to the park is not of first grade quality. That's without taking into consideration anything going on behind closed doors which is obviously affecting the club.

All coaches these days are managers of the team and need to manage the players. Be it deflated players, pi$$ed off players, non performing players etc etc. You guys have all of those at the moment and he's simply not managing the situation.

For what my opinions worth....

The side isn't that bad let's be honest, it's not amazing but its not as bad as its playing and don't for one second think that I'm happy with some of the selections week in week out but on paper it is alot better then the way they're playing.

No kidding, we would have made any side look better than they really are on tonights performance. That still doesn't mean Penrith didn't play well.
