What a few days can do

It amazes me just what a few days can do in rugby league (especially as a parra fan)

From the end of world that was saturday to the possibility of signing cronk yesterday to now the immense excitement and buzz around Parramatta now bringing home mitch moses and the possibilities of adding matulino, nofoaluma, kane evans and peats for 2018.

We havent been great the last couple weeks but the recruitment push for strong mix of youth and experience  we have now is just awesome. Its a far cry from 6 years ago when signed blokes like chris hicks, carl webb, paul whatuaria, jordan atkins, casey mcguire and chris walker. 

It really shows how much the club has turned around over the years the future is looking good in my view

  • I'm sick off always looking forward till the next year, I want results this year.
    • Wasnt really the point i was getting at, maybe i should of titled this better

      For starters i for one have significance confidence in this seasons team and i think we will fare very well this year,  i believe results will come in time 

      The point of this blog was to show my excitement for us being an attractive club once again. For years weve had to deal with poor recruitment and paying overs for players and im just really happy those days are now over as we are able to attract  good young players to want to come play for us rather than having us pay overs for them. 

      Hearing moses is going to be paid less at parra than he was offered at the tigers is really exciting news and i have full confidence that he will be able to reach his full potential in the blue and gold

  • Sack BA!!!

    • Sack Alan!
  • Least we can attract players these days
  • Yep well maybe some blokes will put in a bit more this year if they know what they are up against to make the team next year.
    • Agreed, in theory it should happen and hopefully in reality some blokes will take it up a notch to make it happen

  • Matulino has signed with tigers
    • Social media rumour going around that we offered him a contract but yeah it would seem more likely hes off to the tigers

  • Would like Kane Evans but who do we let go especially if Tigers want a forward in exchange for Moses ?

"This is what I am saying. He most likely won't be here in 27, but if he does then it doesn't mean we will have 3 over 33s in our starting team. 
Barnett would start. Paulo on the bench and JDB retired or more of a squad filler. Either way is fine…"
