I think you are touching the area issues EA but this should not be poor me issues. The reality that a number of junior players do go to other clubs because they look for opportunities that have passed them by at Parra.
II just find it hard to accept that our scouts do not have an understanding of who is out there potentially to be able to come up as a depth side.
i.e. we could have a country development squad, paid for by the club and actually develop a following in regions that are not well serviced.
Recently we holidayed on the NSW Coast, Pottsville area the size and RL development in that area is amazing and the Gold Coast Club cannot handle the embarrasment of riches it produces.
I am sure our guys are aware of opportunities, our club seems receptive to spending money on development, maybe they have to be a little more lateral in how they approach it.
It seems to me that a lot of our young talent has actually come from other clubs....Dyllan Brown was the last Test Player we produced....who before him....I suppose we can claim MM but producing superstars have not been happening....why is this so in a development area like ours? Penrith have a lot of their superstars coming from the bush!
It doesn't matter Richard in the context of my post.
The problem with the opinions around Talagi is once you hit FG your meant to be the finished product from a lot commenting when in all essence it's the beginning.The instant gratification is just rampant around him.Ivan Cleary isn't an idiot he understands the strengths and weaknesses of the mentioned it's just a time and experience thing now.But you watch good or bad game I'm sure the opinions of Talagi will be way off the mark purely because what your seeing half a season into Talagi's FG career is as above far from a finished product.
Martin ruled out with a wrist injury, nothing else yet on the other guys
Good i hope they do play so there will be no excuses from the bum crawlers channel 9 when we beat them.
Fuck that , I'd happily celebrate a win even if they fielded their under 12s girls team and we only managed to beat them by a feild goal on the buzzer.
Lol
Fucking Lussick
