Was just reading about Brett Finches defection in 2009 to play 5/8 for the storm and in doing so restricting a young James Maloney to only 4 nrl appearances.Maloney left Parra at the end of 2008 because he was behind Finch and couldn't crack a spot.what could have been if Finch fucked off earlier.
Yes but we had an idiot in Hages who I actually fronted at a Wenty Vs Newton game and asked why don’t you give this guy a crack in NRL and he just looked at me as if to say WTF.The player was none other than Jimmy Maloney.
What is Maloney's exact history? He is a country boy right? When did he come to Parra? Was it just a short stint at wenty or was in he in the system from a young age? I personally do think he would have been as good if he had stayed with us. It really took him a few years to hit his straps when he landed himself in a gun roosters line up. Its sad but I highly doubt he'd have had the career he's had if he remained with us.
This stuff is so annoying as a fan. Like when Tonga left to Canterbury to get a start because Lyon was in front of him and then Lyon left at the start of the season and Tonga was killing it for the Bulldogs.
It is so exasperating Nitram, Tonga played very few games in first grade at Parra before he joined Canterbury then he played SOO for Qld and for Australia while he was at the dogs and when he came back to Parra he was either injured or he was playing terribly.
Yeah Tonga played better with good players around him and was better at a younger age which sometimes happens with backs. For example Dugan, he was heaps better when he was younger.
"What a display by us last nite. Tremendous. It was incredulous how we continued to hold the line in the middle. Our entire pack were dynamite knocking them over, ably led by Hoppy, Junior, Riley and Jack.

"Yes in last month i have we beat Brisbane should of beat storm should of beat south then Turn it around to beat the Roosters and Warriors
Yes i think he can coach i think if we get 1 or 2 good players
I 1 prop and centre i think we are a top 4…"
"We are becoming a nuisance team. In the past we would lose the games that were tight. Now we are seeing we are hanging on in games more consistently. Wont always hang on but it is a pleasant change."
"All the experts that matter like cronk, Kevin, Gus and Joey last have repeatedly said how impressed with Ryles rebuild- with a bit of luck we would have made the finals, I'll guarantee you no team would want to play us in the finals "

Yes he's signed but he wont be ready for another 10 weeks to play because of injury.
10?
Thought he will be back sometime round 17-20
Youre probably right mate, just going by what i heard in the media, ive got no idea.
