The Swamp

[Poupou Escobar]

JFH is bog average. Leota and Martin also average. D.Edwards average. Its a team of plodders really.

All good players, but the stars are Cleary and Yeo. Those two make everyone else look good. Edwards and To'o have their limitations, but they are great at go forward, which means their forwards don't have to do much in attack.

It's a very well balanced team, but only after the NRL changed the rules and made the game faster during Covid. Suddenly Penrith's little fast pack was no longer shit and they started winning.

JFH was rated in the top 10 nest players by other players. He is an absolute beast. Especially in defense. He hits like a hammer and drives backwards.
Our pack are good with the ball but can't attack with their defense. What Penrith forwards do so well is bash you with their defense. Their pack embarrassed ours in the grand final. We couldn't make 30mtrs.

Fairly sure Pou posted this but not as expanded...

We smash their pack every game. Only their backs trouble us through the middle. We were obviously gassed before the grand final started, as Gould predicted we would be due to playing in the tropics. Every other game their pack struggles against us and they need Edwards and To'o to get them going forward.

Your forwards barely run the ball ffs. They are in the team to tackle. The only time Leota makes any metres is when he gets put through a gap.

Boom

They beat us 27-8 in the first final that year prior to the game in the tropics.

Only 13-8 when Moses got hurt and our completion rate fell off the bus. I remember a game where Cleary was sent off and Penrith lost control of the game. It's why halfbacks get paid so much.

And our middle was awesome that game. It was the Penrith backs that hurt us, as usual.

Some little birds just flew in and tell me that a Super League International winger has been granted a release from his Contract and is looking to hook up with an NRL club. Parra in the lead to sign him.

Same little birds that told you Aland will "100% not be sponsoring" the Eels in 2025?

If you are going to keep this up, there will be no excitement for you!

I think they'd already lost co trolley of that match.

Hasn’t one of the big criticisms around Sarantinos been that he doesn’t care about club?
Anyway I wasn’t really referring to board/senior management (although it is a reflection on them) but the actual working stiffs. And sorry if some of them are on here or people know them, but some of them are truly f**king hopeless.
If winning starts in the office, we ain’t winning for awhile. There’s been some fairly significant turnover recently but I have little confidence about any replacement being the right person.

Also on that, I don’t mind Kellyville but firstly they f**king need to get the actual office built ASAP, the demountables are some dreary shit, and secondly I worry that it disconnects us from the simplicity of corporate connections (read TPAs) that Parra city offers. It’s not impossible to have them but why complicate it.

Yes but less than 7 mins from Rouse Hill Village

I was told Blaize was prepared to enact the PO until Moses told him not to.

And somehow Parra was prevented from negotiating a Contract other than the PO (that Pou knows was lowballing him)?

 

[Tiger5150]

It smells like Moses's doesn't have the players best interest at all..

Must be bloody hard having to deal with player mangers bloody leaches

Unless his players interest is to maximise his earning potential? As Pou graciously informed us, the PO was lowballing him, why would a Manager recommend his client accept that?

Because he knew the player would be free to negotiate again in November.
