I'm writing this blog off the back of the earlier Angus Crighton blog. Crighton, without question, is going to be one of, if not the hottest off-contract players in the market, if Souths can't manage to tie up him well before his contract ends next y
So without going into details, I've had a pretty rough couple of weeks personally and to be honest, the site has been the last thing on my mind, but having just gotten back to Sydney, I've had a few messages in my inbox, that I believe warrant my ann
When I figured out that some travel I had to undertake for work was going to mean I was going to miss the first two semi's plus the constitutional reform EGM, I was pretty damn annoyed. Like you all, I've waiting along time for finals - so I was pret
I made a comment earlier in the year, that I thought the one thing that Brad Arthur had to achieve this year was to get Sioasia Vave up to starting prop standard. My one recurring doubt about this side, has just been that we lacked that little bit of
A lot of players copping flack in NSW for last night's effort, but for me, I think it was the most crystal example of why Queensland have dominated for more than a decade.
And that's Cameron Smith.
Again, NSW forwards are copping it, but Peats bog-st
I've been wanting John Folau to move into the forwards for a couple of years now, and he's done so recently and is reportedly have something of a resurgence as a second rower. Last week, he made the ISP Cup team of the week.
I just wanted to drop a passing blog, congratulating Matty Eisenhuth on getting picked to make his NRL debut for the Tigers. Parra (and Wenty) junior who has never given up on making the NRL despite having to jump around a few clubs and battling inju
I know there are a few other blogs floating around on this topic, but I've not had a chance to write a blog for a very long time, so I'm going to start my own. Sorry!
I truly believe if Clint Gutherson takes over the nine, Parramatta has a crack at t
I've had a big project at work that has totally absorbed my life for the last three months or so, so I've pretty much just been working and very occasionally sleeping. So a big, big thank you to our mods who have kept the site ticking along. If you'v
I've seen enough over the weekend to see that religious topics aren't going to benefit this site in any way. I'm getting to the point that whenever there is an terror incident my first thoughts aren't for the victims, it's thinking about who is going
Some of you have a particular fondness for posting GIFS/images into the comment stream, which I don't generally mind. However, some of you have been going well overboard on this of late. It particularly annoys me when someone posts a serious footy bl
Earlier this year, I asked the question: “Does Parramatta have enough size”. Most people were adamant that we had enough power in our forwards through blokes like Matagi and Brown, and that we would play a mobile game that would make up for giving aw
There was a really interesting article in the Weekend Financial Review on Saturday about the theories of former Wallaby Ben Darwin as to the biggest indicators of sporting performance.
I'm not going to past the whole article because I'm going to resp
This week, every NRL coach will be pouring over videos of the Eels win against St George and asking themselves, “shit, what am I going to do about this?”.
Every few years, a coach manages to re-define how the game is played, and with it often comes a
As we saw last week when Parramatta was only able to give 20 minutes to Frank Pritchard, it's debatable as to whether we need four forwards on the bench. Without injuries, we've got players who can easily handle the required number of minutes.
Select the best side using ANY of the following players from both sides. ue you could play Josh Dugan in the centres for example (I think doing it that way will result in a more diverse series of selections)
A lot has been said about the individual contributions of a lot of players, but I think one guy that really hasn't received any kudos was Michael Jennings.
His stats are outstanding - 162 metres from 17 hitups. That was the most metreage of any outsi
"Every game has been close ...will we :) or won't we :( be going with the trend ?
been a great round
hope the guys play with some bloody pride and not come out looking like second graders.
very strangely I think we will win ...nuts am I "
