I Need Answers and I Need Them Now!!

Posted by Mr 'BringBackFitzy' Analyst on June 20, 2012 at 5:09pm

I need to get something off my chest, been bugging me for a while and truth be known all parramatta fans deserve a answer.SK was assistant coach at melbourne, he would have insight to what players have remaining left on their contracts,Why then did he sign Sandow for this year?Why didnt he keep Robson for 2012 knowing full well Cronk's contract will end in 2012 and then throw everything at Cooper for 2013 season and beyond whilst releasing Robson at the end of the year?He's offsider Nolan may have been an excellent recruiter in a one club one state area but wasnt he the recruiter who missed spotting C. Smith, B.Slater, C. Cronk.Look i may be wrong and these questions may have been answered already but im sure some fans want answers to these question. I believe both SK and P Nolan have failed to approach the best halfback in the world.

Moltzen to Parra

Humble to Raiders

He probably knew that Cronk would never leave.

Or

If you believe the "SK as a long term mole sent by Melbourne to destroy Parramatta" theory...Cronk is too good a player and not part of Bellamy's sinister master plan.

  Yes yes u are spot on. It will make it a lot harder for parra to fail if they grab Cronk and it may destroy bellamys evil plan.

Just to add, they would have plenty of cash because from the beginning he didnt rate hindmarsh, so he brought up the excuse of 'cancer' at the club, well ben smith resigned, fui looks like resigning, so what the f#%k is he talking about.

  i think it was prob right to get sandow when he was on offer, SK assumed he would be able to get him to play to hes oppersite style to the off the cuff style player sandow is, he assumed wrong, sk has struggled to get the most out of any player under him, plenty of ex greats of the game inc johns said that sandow would be the buy of the decade 4 us, but they didnt factor in we have a player killer as a coach, cheers

Cronk was never coming. He wouldn't have the balls to turn up with his premiership ring!

  Yes good point. Wouldn't that be awkward.

I wrote in a blog a year ago that I would not sign sandow and have had McGuire at half for 2012 and thrown the chequebook at Cronk for 2013

Then sandow hit career best form and thought I should just let the professionals do the recruiting as they know better than a keyboard warrior. I was also worried about sandows defence for a team that the gameplan is built on defence, but figured the coaching staff are smarter than a keyboard warrior and know what they are doing

A year on and this keyboard warriors fears have been realised and the coaching staff have proved that they have no idea what they are doing. I cannot believe Kearney and his staff have not been sacked.

  We are all genius' in hindsight.

  Just to add to that buying a halfback who relies on adlib footy bringing him a team SK wants structured.
