JOEY LEILUA - Should we offer him a one year deal ? I say Yes.

On his day he can be a game breaker, hes a tough hombre with a lot of experiance and still a few years of 1st grade in him.

He can play in multiple positions including centre and would give us some x factor off the bench.

I heard him say he's willing t

The Recruitment Discussion

Recruitment and retention is always fraught with different levels of risk and reward. Players are handed big money deals and don't perform, while the guys on lesser wages play above their pay grades.

Good to see the NRL taking action oner the outrageous behaviour of the Penrith morons who smashed the NRL trophy in their drunkin or drug state. Good fines were given to all concerned. The club itself was fined which was a necessary first which one h

Fullback: Clint Gutherson, Hayze Perham, Sean Russell

Suggestion to the Board, go for BankWest to take sponsorship of the club, with Comm Bank now taking naming rights on the ground.

Smart thinking now would be Bank West taking on the Parra sponsorship.

Bank West being out of Comm Bank makes so much sense when the team playing there is out of the same "stable".

The Curtain Falls

And with one horrendous call of his whistle while the circus music and streamers went off in The Bunker, Ashley Klein killed off Parramatta's season. Throw in a bunch of terrible non-calls because, once again, the officials are incompetent and they d

Why was Junior Pengai allowed to play and what happened to refereeing discretion and the bunker's role in the whole process. PC is killing us!

How about Junior Pangai even playing in the game at this stage of the season. I'm still don't understand what justified his going  to any club after the June 30 deadline. i.e. he wasn't a Sonny Bill coming from another code or the like. (just quietly

Areas We Need to Improve to Win

Starting to get a bit nervous, I've let myself believe we have a chance on Saturday. It's a big ask, 2nd v 6th and they are a very talented squad. They'll be pumped to try and make up for the loss against Souths.
