That's the tip. BA will name his first exclusively produced forward debutant in the fifth year of his tenure. Marata will take Beu Scott's bench position against the Warriors this Friday night.

The only other two forwards to come through under BA were Tepai in 2014 and Alvaro in 2015, but both played in the grades under Stuart and Kearney, and both were brought here under them. The last back to come in was Bevan French  (2016) again purchased and tutored by Ricky before BA debut him.

Well, it's taken 5 years for BA'S first forward and knowing the season is officially done and dusted, a few more need to be given a shot.

Let's hope he gets onto the field and not spend 80 on the bench lol.

  • After salmon performance in Wenty today you could add him too, and also Ray Stone
    • From what I’m hearing about salmon I’m looking forward to see him get a chance
  • He won't get played. I'm telling you BA names him only to troll you Chief. He will play Beau Scott with 1 arm.

  • Its a miracle.

  • I can’t see it happening as BA is too stubborn and slightly arrogant.

  • Isn't Brown back next week, if so I can not see Niukore getting a run. Brown will slot back in and BA will stick with fatso Vave.

  • How did Ricky tutor French? He would have hardly known him in his 12 months. 

    • KILL ALL PARRAMATTA DEATH RIDERS.

    • Ricky was actually the reason French came to Parramatta.

"HFK, If I'm wrong about Pezet & he turns out to be a complete lemon, so be it. We all get things wrong, make mistakes, make false assumptions.
What kind of six is Ryles after? Dunno. But Pezet appears to have footy IQ with swagger, a kicking game,…"

"Whether there is a definitive answer or not, it'll have nothing to do with us signing Pezet. He was only available for 2026. He had already signed with the Broncos long term from 2027."
