              • Carrigan would do me

                • Now that is who I would throw good cash at.

                • Yep this,we need a pack leader and he'd do me also throw.But again with Perth and PNG in the running I don't see us matching them with years or money with the cash they have and the latter it's all tax free.

              • McInnes type would be. Not so much McInnes now.

                • Carrigan is a very smart man and a natural leader, I doubt he would come to a side like Parra given his long Bronco's heritage. I dont think you will see him but the perfect model to do our needed job just the same.

                  One thing I don't rate is judgements on Moses at this point in time.....hence my blog on the subject of his sacking. The reality is everyone see's him as the saviour, I thought Cooper Cronk was a step away from a proposal in Sundays game.

                  I think this over reliance and the overall status has made him try too hard.

                  Btw Gutherson was a great leader and it was only the morons on here that didn't realise what leadership entails.

                  These times as such and the rumours that abound, "facebook" for Christ's sake and we have Anal who was last right in 1947 spreading rumours of losing the playing group. The only playing group he has lost is the dozen or so players that are sitting in their "moonboots" on the side line.......I know you guys are hurting but you can only control the controllable. This situation is disasterous for a club with no depth in its backline. We knew it wasn't there, took the punt and lost...ca lie vie! Learn and move on!

                  After disaster you get destiny!

                  Has anyone looked at the junior results on the weekend, all our sides are through to the next stage and again (stand to be corrected) they have been injury hit as well, notwithstanding the Cup side who at the begiining of the year I expected to be in the top 2.

                  • After disaster you get destiny!...and it often arrives unlubed

                  • Carrigan expressed interest in PNG with the tax free dollars. He has a premiership now, so maybe he is content chasing the cash and good on him. Not saying he wont want to win, more so he is happy to go to an expansion team for great money and hopefully wins something along the way. He ain't taking unders for that premiership like a lot of the Manly players did in early 2010's for example.

                    Could Carrigan come to Parra? Never impossible but the price would be hefty.

    • Would it surprise me? No. But when it was said "discussed on the podcast" made me think is this a promotion for his podcast?

      But I mean idk, when you see the videos on their socials, Moses is with the boys and they are laughing and joking. Not sure, but maybe another leader, someone with cooler head would be great to have.

      • Anyone/ "Someone  with a cooler head".....don't make judgements about things you don't understand!

        Don't let the children select the "class captain" popularity is the worst judge! If you feel too young and inexperienced to make that decision ask someone who is a bit older and experienced.....LOL

        Just remember that getting old doesn't make you "wise" just "wiser" than you were!

        • You keep going back to my age and job instead of the actual point, and you seem to comment on everything I say. If experience is meant to make you wiser, it should show in consistency and I’ve already pointed out where that’s lacking. I’m just discussing footy, nothing more. Maybe ‘wiser’ just means better at avoiding the question, which you did Sunday night

"Uele could be better than what we have. I wouldn't say they want too much money, more so would want years on their deal.
We would more likely offer just rest of the year and if they perform offer further. They would want 2-3 years straight up."
