PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

We have all discussed player development from a local junior angle however one of the areas that is really alarming is our inability to develop players who we purchase. This isnt a BA problem but something that he been inside Parra for a long time. Think back to Justin Poore. Came to us as a starting SOO player and left barely a reserve grader. From the current squad you can put Norman, Ma, Evans, Hoffman (plus others) into that category. This list goes on and on. What are we missing for this happen generation after generation? Until this is fixed, rotating coaches wont solve anything. Coaches like Bennett & Bellamy turn bog average FG players into good FG player. Chase Blair comes mind right away. Terrible with us and solid at the Storm.

This is on Gurr/Donnelly to fix and if they cant, dont let the door hit you on the way out. It must be more than just the coach.

  • Guys and girls not Parra related but on Facebook they are saying Moses Maybe will be a Tiger next week he is very upset about being pushed out of Bulldogs as he wanted to be a one team player. Now wait for this one hell has frozen over and Robbie Farrah has approached the very likable Ivan Cleary to ask can he see out his career immediately with the Tigpies. The very talented Jacob Liddle is not up to playing hooker for 80 minutes. Great strength if true to these players coming to WT as they are bordering on the 8 with a bye to come. PS I only post on this site.
    • I honestly don’t know why we haven’t signed Farah . Hooker has been our Achilles for yonks.

      • Just think Wiz, the Tiges r rumoured to be talking with Farah about rejoining them. Funny if they get both him & MBye before the June deadline. 

  • You wouldybe saying that if we were winning games

"Hypothetical question. Say Lomax doesn't go to R360 would we have him back or is he gone forever despite his release saying can't go to league for 4 years "
