Sliding into Success: Will Parramatta's Defence Make or Break Their Season?

I wanted to talk about something that's been on my mind as we edge closer to the new season. We're talking defence, specifically the outside back rushing in defence strategy we've clung to like a safety blanket. It's had its moments, sure, but let's

Desperate Need for a Centre

If we are looking for a more balanced side that offers something different in the backline then why are we not making a play for Curtis Scott on a train and play deal similar to Jennings at the Roosters. Yes he has had his issues and I realise it wou

Wakey Wakey Parramatta Executive, you aren't communicating with your supporter base!

I think we are over thinking on recruitment, this time of the year it is understandable and because we have done nothing (seemingly) we are speculating about all sorts of "ghosts" in the woodwork.

One of the problems is poor communication from a perce

When is a centre not a centre but an edge forward playing in the centres?

John Eel, one of our more astute posters asked a question about Charlie Guymer, a young edge forward who was on the Reserves bench in the Flegg elimination final and who played U/18 SOO this year. We have so many good young edge forwards in that side

Adapt or Die Part Two

Back in August I dissected many of the issues surrounding Parramatta's style of play that led to their lacklustre 2023 season. Now I'm here to offer some solutions and, at least, some reasoning as to why that occurred.

Let's get the obvious out of th

When is 10 years not representative of the relative time

Interesting comments made by Fake and LB on the relative coaching record of Dean Pay in a great post in another blog.

They say how Dean Pay was hard done by in having a poor (dogs) side and doing well enough with what he had.

This made me think of an

Forwards vs Backs

In your opinion, who is more important to a team, the forwards or the backs?

Before you answer, I'll throw a hypothetical out seeing as though it's orf season and all...

Depth chart below shows we needed Tuilagi and will need a top quality left centre- that way Simmo is a good quality depth for all positions in the backs. Still 4 spots left. I put Moretti in even though can't find him contracted anywhere. Put Matters
