"Great to hear, EA. Thanks.

"Nice one, I'm pretty sure everyone understands that MON works alongside the coach with regard to recruitment, but it ain't the coach who this buck stops with. I'm simply alluding to MON's history which speaks volumes. If you think he's going to…"
"We'd be a far worse team with Dylan at 7 than Moses, even if Dylan was working as hard as he is at the Knights and reacted as badly to his errors. Moses has had many more years to work on being that General. And his kicking game is superior."
"Much like Moses here I'd suggest he needs much the same hopefully this off season we can get him more help."
" Holbrook is a good coach. As long as the Knights don't get too many injuries and KP is on-field, Dylan will have enough around him to just do what's he currently doing. If not, we'll see."
"D Brown has been paid on potential for several years, and is now at N'castle on a v high salary and needs to step up; he had one good season (22) for us. Wish him well"
"I think people are short changing Volkman a bit. Attacking wise id have Volk ahead of Renzo right now.
Renzo is better at tempo and shortsides but Volk creates stuff out of nothing and is able to break the line when running.
I dont see the need to…"

"All I'm seeing with DB now is Holbrook is slowly pulling him in while still giving him free reign at second reciever when he needs him there.Someone has to take the hit here and be the setup guys for KP and Sharpe.This will be beneficial for DBs…"
"EA, I think the move to the Knights is good for Dylan (for more than $16m reasons) and he's definitely playing well. No argument there.
As I said to NOS, the way he reacted to his drop ball that opened to door for Souths back into the game and…"

"Looking at DB stats like that is a very poor way of looking at the affect he had on the game. DB didn't play as wide. Dylans best work when doing a team movement has always been how direct and square he plays at first or second receiver to give his…"
"NOS, agree. It's cherry picking: last round. But it's also factual. Reality.
More cherry picking. Against Souths, it was a dropped ball from Brown on the line that allowed Souths to get back into the match and almost win it.
Admitedly, Souths made…"

"Newcastle spoon to top 8 in half a season.Parra bottom 4 just saying 😂 "
"NOS and HOE, I believe he is the long term solution at 6 but I would not be rushing him into the NRL spot just because he is the future. Our team is decimated by injuries so let the team find some consistency in its team selection with the players…"
"Haha HOE, some top level 'cherry picking' there.
Great bait, but not biting.

"Last round.
Volkman (came on a train and trial). 2 try assists. 6 tackles busts. 2 line-breaks. 5 runs for 95m. His break allowed Moses to kick the winning FG.
Brown ($13m + $3m in TPAs). 0 try assists. 1 tackle bust. 0 line breaks. 9 runs for 106m.…"

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
