"We are that far behind Penrith. Because most of the league is.
We have played the Premiers, Grand Finalists and Penrith in first 4 rounds. We'll lost against shit teams but we'll settle with our style once we get a run against normal teams.

"Surely there have been MON discussions at the club. The roster seems to be getting weaker, with less depth every year. Surely six years in the job is long enough when you see a continued downward trend in the new-talent department."
"I was simply giving MON some credit in that he has not been inept. He has made some decent signings in the past. But is not good enough now and a new voice could be needed.
As i said, it shouldn't be on Ryles but he has to speak up about his…"

"Mate if Ryles ends up getting sacked before the R&R then delete the club"
"I genuinely don't like going hard on one individual, I truly don't. And obviously MON hasn't been 100% bad all the time at his job.
But at a senior level you're not judged on individual actions, you're judged on outcomes.
So the fact that MON has…"

"We won't become elite by chasing players that other clubs don't want. The answer isn't finding discards who are better than our current discards.

"We don't have enough evidence to judge Ryles as a coach.
What is true is you need excellent on field talent to support a rookie coach through his first years. Look at how Ciraldo was set up at the Bulldogs with their recruitment sprees and poaching…"

"Petrus needs to be developed to be our backrower next year in nrl. He will go straight to JF when Ball is over. Should go to cup this year "
"Positive for Polley is he is only 18 so he has years before being considered for top grade, he has time for his development. Petrus is one at the moment i am wondering if he will get some Cup games late in the year."
"If we get a spot in the 8, which we can see after the next month if we are good enough, would set us up more and more. Unfortunate it is slowly.
We need two middles. A Prop and a Lock. Market is bare on paper but things happen and as we have seen…"

"Polley got injured as well. Looked like a hmmy or knee injuries. Was assisted of the field which is not a good sign. Started the year injured. Returned and got injured. Returned this week and injured again. Holy."
"I reckon he's made of tougher stuff. Not everyone wants to dip when things are tough / The next month will tell us a lot about where we are actually at. 2-2 after this scheduling isnt all bad. "
"The rest of the NRL are making up the numbers to Penrith at the moment. Even then, at some point Cleary will purposely have them a little bit underdone to not peak too early and slow everything down and they will still win."
"Didn't say poorly coaches, said simply not good enough. Ryles before the season started pushed desperately for a middle and now we see why, though we need two middles to come in. If i was MON and Ryles work the phones and look for chances to get…"

The "want"
Its not in the who, the why, or the how its in the want. How can It take 2 front rowers and a large hooker to put down a winger its in the want. How can a so so 2nd rower run thru 3 first up tacklers , side step a 5/8 and get a pass away, its in…

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
