Can Volkman and Hawkins steer us around v titans?

Just going to assume Moses won't be available v Titans, haven't seen much of cup games but can Volkman and Hawkins do enough to get us a win v titans ? I think Hawkins brown can beat dragons. Just haven't seen much of Volkman since ealry in season 

Metcalf

PAYNE HASS

Parramatta need to throw the cheqbook the kitchen sink and whatever else to get him over to the eeles we need to give him Dylan browns money and the some hes a prop that other teams fear with him and 1 or 2 other signings we will be right up there i

Wayne shuts down cobbo link.

Wayneo has basically said rabbits won't be going near Cobbo, don't have the cap space for it and plenty of outside backs at the club. Other Sydney teams including roosters Dragons and tigers speaking with his manager. I don't think Cobbo really fits

Reed Mahoney

Ok I know this is a Parra fan site and there is great deal of hate towards this guy.....BUT its interesting that a player goes to a club gets hoodwinked by Gus after we are in a GF goes through the hard times with this new club and gets binned off fo

Very corporate move by the brass above. They really are obsessed with making the sure the club'

Are bulldogs fans all there ? 😂

A very strange fan base celebrating beating the team placed 16th on the ladder like it's a grand final win? What is going on with them 😂😂 Geeze 

Kikau Not Guilty

How can a player be sent to the sin bin for a dangerous tackle and then be found not guilty by the Judiciary 🤔. Yet Dylan Brown accidentally runs into the referee and gets banned for 1 week and Kikau gets off after a dangerous tackle on Mitch Moses.

Penisini and Russell observations

I was talking to a old bloke at my gym hes old footy nut.

He made a point about Penisini and Russell i thought was interesting, Both have had the same junior systems and coaching same 1st grade coaches.

Penisini always had the hype and expectations to

Brown accepts 1 game ban.

Parra not going to challenge the ruling, probably too risky as nrl would find a way to ban him for 2 games. We do have some depth at 6 so it's the right call for sure. Have 2 weeks to figure out a plan for next game 

Do you think any team will actually beat the Storm in September?

Bulldogs, raiders and warriors have had great seasons so far but I don't see any of them bothering a full strength Storm in September. Storm will blow most of these teams away with sheer talent imo. Just from what I've seen Storm haven't been playing

Should we have go at Cobbo?

Dropped last game and is off contract chance can get Him this year. Talent is undeniable JR has gotten improved plenty of players he potential is incredible. 

Dylan Brown 1 game suspension for running over Sutton.

Missed the actual incident but weird suspension lol. I wonder who the eels try at 6 for game v titans 

We have elite wingers but the worst centres in the comp.

As the heading says.

Samrani to play inside the Fox and Simmonson with Zac on the other side when all are fit.Speed and power on both sides.At the moment our wingers are under utilised because our centres are reserve grade at best.

No friends - just foes

Refs against us making us tire in games and not being " influenced to help us" 

no benefactors or TPAs in cooeee

we don't even have one friend in commentary on ANY platform ( and don't even consider Hindy - he's traded on us being a joke for his own me

Wrap up of the game my thoughts!🫠

Will penisni-Absolute rubbish needs a stint in reserve grade absolutely useless.Wheres his form gone from 2022 he was killing it,now just ride off.

hopgood-What's happend to this bloke.Came to us in 23 and was one of the best locks in the comp even pl
