The reason I ask this question is that Parra these days have their talent scouts combing the jails and Police stations for new signings. Brawlers, drug runners and now wife bashers. Its one thing to sign a player with a clean record who by mid season is no longer on the straight and narrow, but already established jailbirds? Maybe change the Eels song to Jailhouse rock. Who is the Eels Chaplin, or is he in hiding. Ma'u, Wicks, Watmough and now another. Times have changed.

  • Every one deserves a second chance, look at Ma'u he has grabbed it with both hands and good luck to him. Some never change, these are the ones we do not want and should be cut from playing in the NRL. Blokes like Carney who have had plenty of chances should not be resigned by any team. As for Wicks and the like if they keep their noses clean good luck to them, but if they fall off the band wagon so to speak punt them as they are a waste of time and would be a bad influance to the younger players. As for Ritchie he deserves a second chance even though I do not think he is a good player and not worth even low coin as we have enough average props with out getting more. We all make mistakes.

    • Fair enough. It just seems the innocent days of two players burning a car for an insurance scam are gone. Lol At least that hurt no one.
  • I don't think Parra address anything, the latest recruits reflect the salary cap issues at the club and IMO "most" are band aid solutions just the usual stuff, impulse buys, garage sale bargains , reject shops, has beens , never beens, Desperados, former players sons (nepotism) reputation men, Liabilities, journeymen, pommy rejects, many will play in NSW cup!
  • And not so long ago people were bagging the 'Hillsong brigade' and asking when we were going to get some players with mongrel instead of the nice guys...
  • OMG? God hates your guts!!! :)
  • I don't care aslong as they pull there head in and play good for parra!!
  • Dribbling shite again, Spanner? Mate, either get the doodle out of your mouth before you speak or at least try and make SOME sense!

  • It's the influence of a Chaplin that has put us in the position we are now.
  • Wife basher hey? The people who looked into this in another thread said it never happened. So was it really worth another thread to spin that lie again? That's a pretty nasty accusation
  • Correct! ^
