Some points are valid but the main reason is the bottom 8 teams all improved their rosters and we didn't, we actually went backwards, with the loss of Semi. I've come to realise BA has NFI. He has given us a pack of small forwards with no offloads, and actually praised them in the off-season. What they are dishing up now is what we deserve and its all on BA. Added onto that is our poor defence and absolutely diabolical attack, the most boring of any team. Has Hasler become our attacking coach?
Number #1 - BA and the coaching staff recruited mostly short term ( 27 to 31 year olds ) purchases rather than building a foundation that we should be relying on right now. That's why Parramatta are in need of a rebuild.
#2.. Lack of foresight concerning recruitment leading to an inferior forward pack.
#3. Lack of foresight with development - meaning minimal pushing for nrl selection.
Not only repeating myself on jnrs here, the best clubs recruite Australia wide. (Qld, country ect.)
its going around on foxsports , brad arthur, does not want a football manager, he wants to be hands on, not wise, brad under the pump and needs help, ronny palmer,was there, luke burt was there, so was kenny gentles, the club max and bernie, wanted cuts.
hayne at $500,000 seemed cheap, but hes played half of 1 game, hayne no doubt added to brad troubles, very one can see
hayne, norman and moses are not getting on, its a bad mix, the flow on with others are flowing on, jennings has a get out of hes contract hes way,how silly is that, hes a free agent if he wants out of the club .
so hes looking around , but he comes at a price not suited to he form right now.
he may need luck, as the morris blues brothers are off contract this year, and the dogs dont want them, no other club are interested at$800,000 a season , so they may be off to super league.
then cory norman, every one knows hes a party boy, on big bucks, hes playing poor and effecting moses form i think.
he should go,sooner then later... last cory made a statement,, the club has the best culture in years , laugh snake haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a great joke mate...brad needs help no doubt..
On that who was dumb enough not to realise we needed to improve our roster. Our aging roster was always gonna flatten out I don’t know why they stretch it out and push our luck.
The biggest problem is there has been cuts across the NRL side of the business and at the moment the bottom line is more important then premiership's and it shows. The players are sick off asking for things that were once provided and are now a luxury..and Chief your comment is spot on with no looking towards the future its a win now mentality.
Our forward pack seems to be improving now our attack is a problem and I think that has A LOT to do with Norman who gets way too much ball and is too confused to function in a team. I think French not carrying and getting metres is letting us down a lot more than people realise. Having one winger carrying out of our end is terrible. Needs to be dropped and gain some confidence in running the ball straight. 80 minute hooker is a must and now with Edwards gone upgrade Mahoney into the top 30 and maybe use Taka as a utility off the bench and play Davis in the centres and his goal kicking can help a lot more.
"HFK, If I'm wrong about Pezet & he turns out to be a complete lemon, so be it. We all get things wrong, make mistakes, make assumptions that prove to be wrong. Better to focus on improving ourselves, between the ears, bit by bit, than being right."
"Whether there is a definitive answer or not, it'll have nothing to do with us signing Pezet. He was only available for 2026. He had already signed with the Broncos long term from 2027."
"I have been highly critical of the decision and have copped a little blow back for it, let's see in 12 months time with the eels heading into the 2027 season if they don't have a definitive answer on who will be our long term 6 if the people…"

1) Lack of go forward
2) Poor recruitment particularly Props
3) Inability to adjust style to suit 2018 rules.
The biggest problem is there has been cuts across the NRL side of the business and at the moment the bottom line is more important then premiership's and it shows.
