"I look at outside backs and outside of Iongi it looks decidedly average.
JaC I think is well into the back 9 much like Simonsson also we can't be relying on that in 2 seasons if we are we are in trouble.
Thats where the club needs to spend some…"

"I will say that is a pretty poor 2027 squad and with only 9 spots available with more to re-sign, dear lord.
But i would lean on the departing team. Mainly due to the spine."

People would have to be desperate to watch this shit, watching a dog take a shit would be more interesting.

Can't believe Brett Finch is representing Parra. The guy is joke and makes a mockery of the jersey. I refuse to watch purely for his involvement.
