This is a slightly different tack to the same old questions, but at the same time, I think it identifies with Parra's need to be more visionary with our development squads and recruitment. Last night I was at the annual presentation of a senior…

"But we will not be finding or buying a superstar anytime soon, especially with most of our coin wrapped up one our 1, 6 & 7.
Only way to do that is through pathways and develop one. Wighton at Centre is better than Waqa, simple as that. Look at all…"

"Interesting BA, I don't think he is leaving Canberra for a bigger contract. He had been on close to a Mil for years, being offered at minimum 900k to stay.
If he stays in Canberra it's because he wants a big money deal.
If he leaves it'll be because…"

"True, the we are wondering how we could afford him, well if we couldn't we wouldn't go for him. I wonder if it will just be a one year thing then he moves elsewhere in 2024?"

The day the eels actually target a…"

"Has there been talks already?
It's strangely and yet delightfully suspicious that Parra announce they are looking for an X factor type of back that can considerably aid our chances and Wighton then comes out to look at his options in the market!"

R6 v The Tigers: QuickSand

  • Description:

    We have the best record against the Tigers over the last six years, say from 2017, than any other club: winning 10 of the last 12 (83.3%). The next best is against the Dogs (9 of the last 12 at 75%).

    But who can forget last year's…

Wighton rumours heat up as 'fantastic' option emerges.

It is not gossip per say but Ryan Girdler has mentioned that he think Wighton to Parramatta would instantly make us a threat. Well yeah, he is an Origin player, even better at Centre. Only issues are price and compensation. Let's say Wighton wants to come to Parramatta this year, Canberra would want someone of not immediately, Waqa Blake wouldn't cut yet i believe he would be one we offer up. I have never been against having Wighton as he is super talented, just was a bit here and there due to…

Who is the worst ref in the NRL?

Grant Atkins - We saw his atrocious performance on Thursday night. I didn't think he could top that but then I watched Manly vs Newcastle (with Atkins in the bunker). He just overturned a completely legitimate try to Newcastle that was already awarded, claiming a knock-on by Best that did not happen. It would have tied scores up. It was such a weird and random decision it almost screams corrupt not merely incompetent. The bloke is a clown. Who's your vote for the worst ref in the game?

SIMMONSONS HIT ON TEDESCO

I am all for the NRL doing what they can to protect players from concussion given the recent studies into the subject.  However, the NRLs own rule changes have actually contributed to this issue.  The NRL made these rule changes with the clear intent of speeding up the game as a spectacle for the fan base.  However,  in doing to, we now have players, having to make decisions at increased speed, with players travelling at increaed velocity and with the introduction of a next level of fatigue all…

Rolling mauls

Is there are specific rule against rolling mauls? At the 5:14 min mark the roosters prevent a dominate tackle by assisting their player and preventing parra dominance in the tackle at that point. It gave them the opportunity to push up and take advantage on the next two plays and ultimately we had penisini in the bin. If it's allowed why don't we do it every tackle???

Where is our talent coming from

This is a slightly different tack to the same old questions, but at the same time, I think it identifies with Parra's need to be more visionary with our development squads and recruitment. Last night I was at the annual presentation of a senior district club. I am a life member and a past president of it, but not hands-on anymore. I could not help but note that their minor grades, the under 19's and even the first-grade side are getting crap results. In asking why are we not winning anything,…

Wanderers atmosphere

Went to the game last night at Parra for Wanderers vs Sydney FC. The atmosphere was phenomenal and trumps anything in Australian sport. From the pre game march to the actual game itself, the whole thing is amazing. How come soccer always manages to get so much passion and atmosphere compared to a rugby league game? I would love if Parra games had the same vibe
