I’m done pretending this is just a bad game. This is who we truly are — and it’s been the same story for years.
Every season repeats the same cycle. We beat average teams, everyone says “we’re so close,” and then when it counts, we get exposed by the top sides. Nothing changes. Absolutely nothing.
This isn’t about Penrith — they’re doing what elite teams do. It’s about Parramatta being stuck in mediocrity and calling it progress.
How much longer are we going to accept this?
We’ve had the same management, the same approach, the same excuses for over a decade. “We’re building,” “we’re improving,” “we’re close” — we’ve heard it all before. At some point, it just rings hollow.
Where is the accountability?
From the outside, it looks like there isn’t any. No urgency. No real pressure. Just the same people making the same decisions and expecting different results.
Let’s be honest — we’re not a serious premiership threat. We’re a team that needs everything to go perfectly just to compete. The moment momentum shifts, we crumble. That’s not bad luck — that’s poor structure.
Good teams don’t rely on emotion. Great teams operate with systems. We lack both when it matters most.
Fans keep turning up, keep believing, keep waiting — but for what? More of the same?
I’ll always support the club. But I won’t keep buying into the myth that we’re “almost there.”
We’re not.
And until real, fundamental change happens — not just small tweaks — we’ll keep witnessing the same story year after year.

Hey Desi don't use AI to write your posts, it sucks to read
Seem's like you may need to apologise to Diesel. Shit I love being a "contrarian"
Diesel, This what you said July last year.....your call to comment?
Watching Parra take on the Broncos has me buzzing! 😍 The team’s performance is inspiring, and I can see us building something special. If we keep this squad together for next year, we could do wonders! 🙌 Apologies for doubting earlier—this is a team on the rise. As long as nothing drastic derails us, I reckon we’ll be a top side in the next two seasons. Only worry is Moses’ injury risk.
the broncos were horrible in that second half
Desieel has solid form with AI comments/blogs
100% AI Pops. I will apologise for not saying please though... Please Desi. No AI posts
Yes it is 1000% AI, the em-dashes are the biggest giveaway. Not the only. But the biggest.
Literally no one uses em-dashes apart from AI, who uses them an absurd amount.
Camel-Case in their headlines is also a dead give away for Ai designed content.
But, I don't mind if people use Ai to articulate their thoughts coherently and concisely... saves me from having an aneurysm trying to interpret what they mean.
Could not understand J R saying before the game on T V that their game plan was to go through the middle with no sideways movement that became very obvious throughout the game, All Penrith had to do was to compress their defence and game over , never seen a team win by going through thr middle all game ,
It is about Penrith. They might well go undefeated this season. And thats not even a joke.
