Which players we need to target

Tohu Harris.
Highly impressive in Toyota Cup first two weeks and has been promoted to NSW Cup.
No idea if he is off contract, but I highly doubt the Storm would let him go since I believe he is highly thought of in that organisation.

Agree on Carlos Tuimavae. Warriors would be daft to let him go, especially with losing Maloney next year.

Matt Ballin. Need to push hard for him. I think he is highly underrated, and Manly may not be able to keep him to salary cap constraints.

Glen Fisiiahi. 9 tries in two weeks for this freak shows he knows his way to the try line. Warriors just have WAY too much talent to keep them all.

NO you can say a bad word but just expect a 2000 word essay from Kearney, sorry i meant pou pou as to why he is the next vince lambardy

So you can't tell the difference between Kearney-is-the-greatest-of-all-time and give-him-a-chance.

You are a f**king dullard aren't you?

lol. Apparently we have some forwards coming off contract who were signed to ridiculous money according to Delboy. So we should have a squillion to splurge next season.

Yes but apparently a bunch of players are on back-ended deals. Maybe we decided to pay them after they left the club but still count them in the cap. Still waiting for Jodeci's answer re the upgrades.

Zeb Taia would be a fantastic addition for Parra, he's a skillful edge forward with a good motor and is quite reliable in defence and attack. Also a Parra junior

If all else fails lets bring in the 300 Spartans.
Fortunately after one season there'll no longer be any NRL opposition in existence.
This will be good for accumulating many Eels premierships!

I wouldn't buy anyone. You guys could turn andrew johns into shit at the moment. For that matter who would want to go to parra?

How is it that Shackleton and Poore were two of the best young forwards in the game and now they are so shit that they need to be punted?

I know both have had injuries, but so have a heap of players, take zeb taia for instance, the bloke spent a season out and wasnt supposed to play ever again, but here is again back to full form. The rebuilding at parra seems to have merged into never ending change. Until you can get a base with the current group that is passable i wouldnt let your coach start looking at buying people. Frankly, as with anderson, he may not be around to see them fail too and its unfair on a new coach to have the cap full of a discarded coach's imports.

Why would u have let Taia go in the first place. How is it nobody at parra saw that tony williams was a back rower?

A spending spree is a waste. You will pay overs for bad players with the club in the state it is now. Get yourself a good PROVEN coach, get the side working again...then start retaining the right people and buy the odd player to enhance the squad.

Only the players who like money.

That's how the salary cap works stupid.

Injury.

Shack played 5 minutes in 2010 and then missed the rest of the season with a hamstring injury: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...d-as-season-ends/story-e6frexnr-1225840873143

Poore has had a recurring knee injury since coming to the club: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...-sets-round16-return-date-20110507-1ed5v.html

Why would u have let Taia go in the first place. How is it nobody at parra saw that tony williams was a back rower?

We lost Noel Cleal and replaced him with Rod Reddy. Both great second rowers from the era of facial hair. But very different recruiting directors.

A spending spree is a waste.

Not at all; it just doesn't work straight away (except for our spending spree in 2005 that won us the minor premiership).

But in the end it always works.

You will pay overs for bad players with the club in the state it is now.

That's ok, we'll get cheap depth out of our academy so it evens out.

The coaching staff have a plan to build the club through our juniors but until they're ready to fire we need to sign first graders to carry the load.
