Do Parramatta sign him - Luai to become a free agent 27 , then Chiefs 2028

Do Parramatta sign him - Luai to become a free agent 27 , then Chiefs 2028

Jerome Luai has a week to seal the deal at the Chief's, 2 million per season tax free. He'll take it . He'll become the richest player in the league by the length of tge straight.   D Brown would be earning 650 k after tax.He'll become a free agent for 2027 - a gap.year essentially.  Should the club take Luai for a season, thus giving Lorenzo Talititiana another year to prepare. Its looking more like Lorenzo is the man. Joash has played mainly fb in both cup and Nrl so it looks as if Ryles not…

Thirteeen Minutes

Trauma snowballing syndrome and the urge to blow things up isn’t just something buried in human DNA. It's now rebranded as “high standards". Forty Years can do that. Sometimes, all it takes is a few minutes. But let’s park the emotion for a minute. What actually happened yesterday? The good news? We fought. Fought hard. That’s two weeks back-to-back. Despite being undermanned, we’ve already used 28 players - the most in the comp -  and have the worst injury toll in the game. The bad news? We…

Centres

We without a doubt have the worst centre pairing in the comp . You can look through every other side - neither of our centres would get a start in any of them . It's an area we have neglected in both recruitment and development. We have a rep level halfback and his strike on his side is battering ram Pensini who lets in 3+ try's a week and runs the 100m in about 22 seconds. He doesn't have the ability to compete for high balls , can't beat a guy with footwork , has errors in his game , can't…

Repeat Sets & Penalties

Is there actually anyone that records which team receives the most amount of repeat sets? I'd like to know which NRL side gets the most and which side gets the least.I'd also wouldn't mind knowing which referees tends to award them the most and how many tries are scored from repeat sets and especially inside the 10 metre line. I could be incorrect here but I'm sure Manly scored more of their tries after repeat sets and penaltiesThe majority of these repeat sets I have seriously zero idea what…

My takeaways from today

1.Brian Kelly needs to get sacked,is there none better or something going on behind the four walls.to try and bring a outside back on loan deal or something cause Kelly is seriously horrendous.2.Junior paulo ain't first grade standard anymore,I've said it before and I'll say it again.He just makes to many unforced errors and is just slow..sadly his primes behind him and wouldn't be suprised if it's his last year.debelin shocking to nothing more to say bout him.But overall thoughts we showed…

Ryles the Super Coach

So the supercoach has come up with run hard,tackle hard.The play book for any U13 dad coach.No shape,no defensive structure and no attacking plays at all.In the first time since watching the game 1977 I have turned a Parra game off.Ryles offers absolutely nothing on either side of the ball and definitely not attracting players to the club.Even the basket case Dragons have signed Keo, Drinkwater and Sami.WTF are we doing.Pretty much the same as Arthurs with no offloads.Rubbish.Not even close to…

Irony is Even Deader

I posted this earlier on Hoe's blog, which was poor placement."Isn't it Ironic, Don'tcha think?

Shark Attack..... Moses told to be wary of the surf!

Parramatta has moved their pre season training to Lennox Head for this week.They have been warned that when your luck is out, you need to be very careful going into the surf! in Northern NSW.Parramatta officials are very wary of these danger's as Cronulla Sharks have been preparing to go North for the ambush for sometime. Mitchel Moses has been specially fitted with a shark proof vest but there are concerns that even paddling in the surf could be dangerous for Mitch's notorious "shark bait"…

Poppa's Dilemma, Welcome to my Corner, come in and have a Cuppa with a Silly Old Bastard. I think it's New Year Shortly?

Well we have been having a few dilemma's around here lately and I am getting confused, from what I can tell we have a lot of problems telling our left from our right. We don't have this problem at home because my wife is always right and I am constantly being left out. They tell me I am getting old and stupid! A man named David call him Poppa, because thats who everyone knows him as maybe suffering from some cognitive issues, he  invited two of his friends over—both of whom were also battling…
