"Anywhere. You find a spot for that sort of talent. If he doesn't work out you move them on but you've got to give them a chance 1st."

I think a lot of people are expressing opinions based on not trusting R@R on making the right decision, or on Management unable to get a deal over the line for the ones they want to keep.

"Lorenzo is tiny. Chris Sandow 2.0. Sack mark O'Neil. This is terrible management.
Also Iongi has to be one of the most overrated players in the entire nrl. Why does he have a mortgage on the fullback role?

"That's just it right there LB. A lot of these young players want to make it to 1st grade. The number on their back is usually irrelevant. There was absolutely no plan I can see to get Twidle a fair shot at 1st grade other than if we get 3 acl's, 2…"

"LB I don't think God is going to help some on here and those that have a different opinion to our way of thinking. Their entitled to those opinions hey . Just different to to what we think and that's just my humble opinion "
"This is my own opinion no one else's but it doesn't matter who we lose it matters who we keep.

"Hearing too much talk around poor defence or 'not ready' for any young kid with potential. Apa is 21. Plenty of 19/20 year olds doing well at the moment in NRL. Ryles should have given him shot at no.6.
Surely he's no worst in defence than Pezet, or…"

"Oh god here we go. Here comes the weekly MON receipt take.
Twidle is a talent but at the same time his best position seems to be Fullback. He is also 22 so he is in no position to wait any longer. With two new teams in the market come November, this…"

"Developing juniors to be good FG players and then not retaining them due to tight arse offers is the pinnacle of the club's stupidity. MON and the FO financial pushers are solely responsible for this bungle. Twidle had shown what he can do and out…"

For those who continue to suck off BA, please see the below FACTS and please explain your unwaivering support of this coaching clown.
1. Sit 8th by a miracle 12pts -23 F/A
2. Worst defence in the comp -296 points.
3. We’ve won 6 lost 7 but let’s see who we’ve beaten and where they sit on the ladder.
Panthers 10pts, played them back into form a few weeks back, sitting in 14th currently.
Saints 10pts lost 5 on the trot, sitting in 13th
Dogs 6pts, running dead last 16th
Tigers 12pts, playing like bustards coming 10th
Sharks 16pts, decimated by injury when we played them round 4, sitting 6th currently.
Rabbits 20pts, decimated by injury and origin last week, sitting in 2nd currently.
Now in all honesty, looking at the above FACTS, how anyone can claim that we are going ok so far beggars belief. Only a complete nuffy with zero idea of rugby league could state otherwise. We’ve only beaten sides below us in the ladder or sides not able to field a competitive side and depleted because of injury/origin.
We are going like bustards and tbh, only a few more bad games away from sliding down the ladder to where we rightfully belong. BA will not turn the side around any time soon, I just can’t see it.
Combine that with our stats last year that were the worst in the clubs history, its just diabilical that this man still mas a job.
Theres zero accountability at the club, even after a bullshit review nothings changed.
Wheres all the unicorn dopes who argued what great results we'd have this year because of it?
The whole review finding came down to the conclusion that it was Corey Norman's fault we were running dead last.
Worst defence last year, worst defence this year.
Our form so far is like having fallen from the Sydney Harbour Bridge having avoiding being killed on impact, not been eaten by the sharks and not drowning we've found a bundle of $1000 to spend on booze, coke and hookers.
We won't stay there unless our defence improves. And could even win another spoon.
Because all 19 wooden spooners, from 2000, have all been in the bottom four defensive teams - and at the end of R13 we have the 2nd worst defence in the competition.
Our defence is now worse than last year (conceding 22.7ppg versus 21.7ppg) when we won the spoon.
In round 6 we were coming 5th and had conceded 97 points (16.2 ppg). The best start since 1986 with the 3rd best defence, and 2nd best attack. That's where you have to be to win a premiership. Since 2000, 15 out of last 19 grand finals were won by top 3 defences (14 of those are top 2), or the top 3 attacks with reasonable defence (Cowboys 2015, Tigers 2005, Penrith 2003, Knights 2001).
The wheels have fallen off. And we are now a long way off the pace.
It really ain't looking good going forward. WTF is wrong with this club. Year after year it's the same thing over & over. We change coaches, we change players, we even change the board but the same result. What the hell is in the drinking water in Parramatta. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
9 lives gone. Thank you Tigers
