Trial: Parra vs Penrith

[Poupou Escobar]

$500k is close to what a rep forward would cost. We need to decide if Paulo is "rep quality" before we pay him $500k

True. However we also need to decide if we have room in our existing roster (from 2017) for a forward at that price.

 

[Stagger eel]

Will he be ready for round 1,

If you ask him he'd pretty day he will be but we're in a unique position where we probably don't have unless until the coaching staff are satisfied that he can contribute to the side

Apparently Craig Gower did ask him last night, and he said round 2

Craig Gower was like :shock: last night. :lol:

Fui had problems with the judiciary when he first started, then he changed his technique and became a great parra player.

I hope we don't lose junior Paulo. He's worth 500k imo.

Agree. He is worth every cent. He was awesome last night

If we do it's definitely junior and not an aging and injury prone Anthony watmough

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

You'd think Watmough would be 50/50 to retire this season (either during or at the end).

 

[Basil Brush]

Agree. He is worth every cent. He was awesome last night

I have a feeling we are working very hard behind the scenes to keep Junior.

However, i also think we dont want to overpay for a prop. Wicks amongst others have proven you can get props on the cheap and we do have players like Alvaro and Terepo.

Yep. He was soiling himself. Not sure if he has much of a career as a commentator.

I read that Watmough nearly retired at the end of last season due to knee problems.

It will be interesting to see how he comes back from these injuries.

My impression is that he is a proud man and will not play on longer than he thinks he can.

Then i may be wrong also

I reckon Moeroa will turn out a better prop.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I reckon Moeroa will turn out a better prop.

I reckon Moeroa is more a 13 than an 8 or 10. A 3rd hitup guy with better lateral movement.

Interesting.

Do you mean better than Paulo? Or better than Alvaro and Terepo?

 

[Avenger]

Yep. He was soiling himself. Not sure if he has much of a career as a commentator.

Seriously who at Foxtel employed that drunken talentless bogan f**kwit?

 

[Bigfella]

Peni and Kenny were very strong and look good hopes for the bench.

Need a Benny and a Lenny to round out the bench with them

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

If Alvaro was a kiwi, his parents would call him Denny.

 

[Basil Brush]

Seriously who at Foxtel employed that drunken talentless bogan f**kwit?

Haha.

It was only a trial. Maybe nobody else was available.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

MAybe the thought he was David Gower's brother?

 

[Chipmunk]

I reckon Moeroa is more a 13 than an 8 or 10. A 3rd hitup guy with better lateral movement.

I'm hoping Moeroa becomes as good an attacking weapon in the middle as a Taupau and Taumalolo
