Theres been none others apart what youve mentioned and Tep, and all those debutants were here before Brad got here and we were desperate for players so he had no choice.
Brad no doubt would have had a hand and advised Cayless was the right man for Wenty coach which has completely fucked us.
Brads created an environment where theres no competition for spots or quality below him and zero accountability in 1st grade, were seriously regressing now and theres not much planning for the future either, especially leadership wise.
The loss of those halfbacks over the years is really quite concerning, considering we have been looking for a top line half since 1992. The loss of quality juniors is something that has been a major issue for many years and as is plain to see, the club has had little success since then.
I'm wondering whether part of the problem with debuting juniors has to do with salary cap pressures. ie if they play top grade they are taking a top 30 spot (or 25 as it once was). We have not built these debuts into the plan and hence we only do this when injuries force us to (as was the case with French). Other clubs seem to be better able to make a call on juniors and budget for them playing at least half a dozen games in the NRL.
hey longfin . we have to making excuses for this management. retaining quality juniors is a farce.recruiting quality 1st graders? how can you afford 2 sign star players when you paying top $ for the likes of scott evans mannah hayne matagi hoffman vave and others .they keep saying parramatta is the heartland of the west . huge leagues club new stadium huge business community punters should be kicking our doors down with t.p.a. offers.we need a talent scout like crusher ( bring him back ) to identify and sign players early in their career. re jamie lyon andrew ryan. hindy etc .our whole club needs a brian smith overhaul
No no no, Jeremy Smith's most noted highlight was getting mistaken for the "Good" Jeremy Smith
Hey if we kept all those halves we would never of got Norman... Think about it people!!
Easy mistake to make with Davis though, I can see where ur coming from cos the first game he played for us looked like it was the first time he ever attempted to play Rugby League
There could be one of two problems.
1. Firstly, leaving players like Nikuore and Twal in reserve grade for years absolutely destroys their confidence. Then they start doubting themselves on whether they will ever be good enough for the nrl and wonder if they've made the right career move.
We all saw what twal can do at the tigers once he got a chance.
2. The entire coaching staff may not have the knowledge to bring these players to the next step, resulting in stunted progression.
I think its a mixture of botb at Parramatta
