Read more…Ken Sio has copped a bunch of criticism from many folk on here, so I think he should get a wrap for his two-try effort today. His first was an absolute specialist wingers try - similar to the one in Mudgee - but this time with a wet ball, and he show

Read more…The biggest joke today was not Parramatta's performance. Or the lop-sided penalty count. It was the fact that match could in any way be deemed a Parramatta home game. Sandow's name gets called out to a huge chorus of boos and from the opening whistle

That and the emergence of Peni Terepo as a genuine NRL quality lock, really does make our second row stoc

Read more…On a number of occasions this year, Parramatta has dropped a player of seniority, replaced them with one of our kids, and we’ve seen that youngster either give a superior performance or at least one that is not noticeably inferior.
It’s perhaps the

Let the debate begin as to which way we go now
Read more…For a long time, every time I've suggested Chris Sandow playing in the 14 role, I was met with almost the exact same response. We're paying him big bucks, he can't play off the bench.
My rationale for Sandow as a "super sub" has been that it would ma

We all had such hopes that Sandow might be the number seven that Parramatta had long hoped for. When he arrived we knew that he lacked something as an organising seven

Hayne is definitely playing more of a traditional fullback role, and I believe he's get

The Dragons clearly came into the match with a plan to target Parramatta's right fringe and Kel
