Lets look at our squad a. Watmough

Firstly can i ask how many of you believed before a ball was kicked this season that we would make the top 4 and give the premiership a shake? Most of you right? Ok well lets break it down and look at our squad.Other than J.Hayne we currently have zero origin players. We currently have zero Australian players. Yes we have players playing for other nations but if you look at most premiership teams you will see Australian players throughout there squad.Now lets look at the coach. He is a great/awesome guy who has the full respect of his players and staff as well as the administration of the club. Great start right!He is in his 5th season with a finals appearance on 1 occasion. Ok so he has been through some issues but this can also hide issues. His player signibg must be questioned. A.Watmough was bought for $900000 on a 4 year deal while in his mid 30's only to fall away after less than a dozen games. K.Foran was bought for $1200000 on a 4 year deal given the captain's hat only to last less than a dozen games. These are a huge setback in building a team in itself. There are other players brought to the club in positions that must be put into question as well. M.Moses verdict is still up for debate. No origins yet $900000 on a 4 year deal. Big chuck of the cap.I leave it to you all to look deeper before believing in the media as we all know Parramatta is always used to sell papers and always will be.

  • Moses only signed a 2 year deal off contract 2019
    • Take your facts elsewhere , they’re not needed round here ... 

    • Wtf. Facts are always needed to build a strong team. Wake up to yourself clown
  • Ok Thank you
  • You expect anyone to take you seriously when you’re quoting made up figures you poster child for autism ? Next you’ll be telling us Hayne is signed until 2035 . 

    I was replying to Kendoza about him posting facts and was clearly taking the piss out of your retardation, but feel free to build your team with facts somehow  ( whatever the fuckk that means ) 

  • He signed brown gutherson trex all on under 200 there probably our best
    • Dont put trex there after 1 game
  • Was it BA’s fault that Foran turned into a basket case? Watmo was bought in as a mentor for our crop of young forwards. Most coaches would have walked out on the whole SC Scandal. We lost our hooker. We still don’t really have one. There’s just no good ones in the market. BA can’t change that.

    weve changed coaches so many times and that’s really given us a stack of premierships. Not. 

    • As stated BA was close to foran and manly had covered his issues up in the past when BA was there so he has to wear that.

      Whatmough on 4 years was pure stupidity 2 years as a mentor fine not what they gave him.
  • I call BS on Watmough signing. We were an absolutely busted bum of a side who couldn’t sign anybody after Stuart cleaned us out. Say what you like about Watmough but he helped changed the culture of our club for the better. Yes we paid huge overs but don’t forget where we were back then.

    Foran was apparently a shock to everybody. Did BA know about his issues? Don’t know. 

    Moses wasn’t that expensive and he’s miles in front of any halfback we’ve had in our club for ages. Foran included. 

    Im not excusing BA’s recruitment just the ones your highlighted. 

    We picked up Jennings. Did BA sign Gutho?

    My concerns are more around talent identification and development. We either buy over the hill players or fringe first graders who’ve played nrl but never did much. 

    Stevie Wonder could see we had Prop issues. Packer, Matulino, McLean were available. We knew we were short props 4 years ago. Where are the 3-4 6ft 4” players we plucked out of U/20’s 4 years ago who must be about due to debut. Where are those guys we surely would have identified and developed?
