History is repeating itself

Our “hard nose approach” to player contracts has left us the worst roster depth in the entire competition

Let nine solid first graders go in one off season leave us with a NRL side that will not play finals and a NSW cup side that will win the spoon.

Is history repeating itself and is it 2009/2010 all over again

  • Nope. We haven't lost anyone that wasn't replaced. 

    We are losing due to a bullshit draw, stupid players off the field and dumb suspensions on the field. 

    Injuries have been cruel to us.

    Origin was bullshit for us too.

  • History is repeating itself for sure. After every loss, blog after blog of hysterical despair and anger. It's like clockwork. 

    • What he said 👆🏻Add in the 'sack BA' rants too

    • Death, taxes and hysterical overreaction to a loss.

      • Haha. 😂😂😂

        Hysterical overreaction to 37years in the premiership wilderness. 😂😂

        How about the m...s who are constantly defending and making excuses?

        It's never the coach or clubs fault it's the NRL, the media or the fans on a fan forum. The real reason we haven't won jack shit for 37 years is that we as a club love accepting mediocrity, many defend the indefensible and then make excuses for why we don't win.

        The really successful clubs strive to win every year every game - I haven't seen that type of mentality at Parra since the 80s unfortunately and will never likely see it again in my lifetime unless the club accepts nothing less than winning.

          • Go the Roosters. They're my favourites for Premiers this year.  Best team on paper. 😂

        • Yeh how about that team that goes through the season undefeated? Oh that's right, no one does that. Every team loses games, it's what you do next that matters. 
          If the players and coach sooked like many here do we'd never win another game. No one likes losing, no one is accepting mediocrity. Blaming fans for not winning a comp is yet more hysteria. Feel free but its predictable is all I was saying. 

  • Definitely reminded me of those years when every team would just run around Waqa s wing to score all day long 

  • Some adverse experiences in life can be used positively if you have someone who can turn things around who understands how to build character with self discipline and team buiding.

  • We can still make the 8, this time last year we sat in 7th. One more game without Brown and that left side defence is fixed.

Are these guys a loss we can't afford or were they additional to our needs?"

"I don't believe this hearing Feb12-13 is about compensation but just whether (or not) Parra can continue to stop Lomax joining any NRL team without our permission.
If it expands to other issues it will be dragging out for a year or so."
