  • lol what a joke.

    What do Josh Hodgson and Jordan Rankin know about coaching young players?

    At least we aren't putting as much effort into our pathways anymore. No point since we lose them all anyways!

    • I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    • Yep good point, id rather these kids are coached by footy type people with teaching experience - Josh Hodgson and Jordan Rankin don't understand these appointments 

      • MIck, you cannot make statements like that, you dont understand what you say they don't understand....

      • You know this do you...like first hand?

    • Jordan Rankin has done a good job with our flegg side recently this year. He was apart of the coaching staff last year for our SG ball winning side. 

      How about know wtf is going on before commenting shit. People like you say such uneducated fucking answers which spread shit. And one of the people who replied to you calls himslef an anaylst in his name. Hilarious some of the deluded people on this site.

      • Pull ur head in fcukwit, what is parraborn spreading?  Opinions are like assholes, ur seems to be a gaping one.

        • Fuck off dickhead. Look at their performance and results instead off just bashing them for their name. Surely anyone with the name 'anaylst' realises you use data and results to make conclusion not an individuals name. 

          • lol how old are you 20? I've been in the parra jr rugby league system as a player, coach and trainer for nearly 28yrs, seen and heard it all, off the top of my head can name 10 'no name' coaches in that system who would do the same if not better job. As some have said this was part of their 'retirement' package, let's see how they the next few years. Now go eat some Devon you dope....sorry Fong for using your line.

      • Uneducated? Hahaha ok buddy.

        Why don't you look at some of our previous coaches over the years in Matts, SG Ball and Flegg and see how their resume's compare against Jordan Rankin and Josh Hodson. The likes of someone like Craig Brennan who has a wealth of experience coaching young players. Was a school teacher too for most of his life. Deals with young people on a daily basis. Jordan Rankin was a player like 2 years ago and all of a sudden you think he's got such great experience coaching?

        Funny how you did not mention Hodgson in your reply at all either.
