As I do every year, I review Parramatta's season. This year it was a very tough one as a Parramatta fan. We had the worst injury toll of every club but some of the performances this year were still no doubt below the standard we want. If you want to watch the review then feel free, the link is down below. Please keep the comments respectful though.

Mate, you lost me when you mentioned Kelly, you said he had a couple of bad games to start the year, then he had a couple of good games. With Williams, he was our most consistent player, barring his first few games, for the rest of the year. He was by far our best back. He didn't win the Ken Thornett medal for being mediocre. The way I look at it is, we were widely tipped to make the top 8 with how we finished '25, then doing well in the pre season challenge. We lost a couple of players at the beginning of the season, then it just seemed as though we were losing another one on a weekly basis, injuries just snowballed. If we went into the season without all our i jured players, we would have been short priced favourites to win the spoon. So, to finish where we did was an achievement.
There was a few games though where in the comment section after the matches, comment after comment was "Get rid of Kelly please" "Kelly is shite" "Can Kelly be banned from the first grade side please". He did have some good games for us yes but I think it shows how poor the season was when Brian Kelly is voted player of the year alongside Jack Williams. It reminds me of 2013 when Darcy Lussick was given the Ken Thornett Medal, he was the best of a bad bunch.
That was the early rounds when he played centre. He was dropped for a couple of weeks then come back on the wing. Since the switch he has been our best back by far. You are saying he was the best shit player in a shit backline. I think it would be best if you go and report on the pommy super league.
I get that comment a lot since I started my channel over six year ago. Anytime someone has a disagreement they say "Go and focus on Football" or "You know nothing about the NRL, focus of the "Pommy" Super League". I'm rarely wrong about Parramatta, I've supported them my whole life. I did mention he had some good games for us and some shite ones. I wasn't one of the fans calling him to be sacked though or dropped.
