"Nikorima is probably a better defender than Volkman but Nikorima at Dolphins has had a steady stream of tall, fast outside backs to take alot of pressure off of him in attack. Nikorima reminds me of Terry Lamb in some ways. Of course hated that dog…"
"So CHT wants to go play in the halves with Luia at PNG starting 2028? And Metcalfe is actually contracted to the end of 2028, so if CHT's intents are as stated, Metcalfe hangs around?

"Not going to lie you have said a whole lot of nothing. You keep making claims without backing it up with any evidence. On three separate occasions you have said the same thing using different words instead of providing evidence"
"Sounds as though Volk will get snapped up if we don't lock him down soon, and Lorenzo will stay and develop while we hopefully land Metcalf or CHT.If we replace Volkman with Nikorima then MON can get rooted."
"Lorenzo is 20 this year. Still has one year of Flegg eligibility. I must add, he has played the year in Cup with various Halfbacks and spine players. That is difficult to get a groove with. The reason Ryles hasn't played Talataina yet is the…"
"It would be criminal not to extend Volkman for another season. He deserves it fully."
"It will be Lorenzos spot when the club thinks he's ready
if he's not ready next year then we have Volkman who can do the job
I'd be more interested in signing a centre/wing and a prop"

"Or, internal is not out of the running yet?
They thought Pezet was more ready to go than Volman but mistakes happen?
They figured Moses might miss games due to injury and Origin and Pezet was a good bet at replacement 7, leaving 6 to be filled by…"

"Or, maybe Pezet's defense was a known problem but not the scale of it? And also that once Pezet arrived, not enough attention had been given to Pezet wanting to put himself on the radar so Broncos wouod 'see him' and the 7 jumper would be his? I…"

"We played above our weight IMO - and we hung in there; Moses also kicked for more yards than they did - this also created fatigue combined with the less errors; just look at our spine compared to them; our guys did v well and Volk and Pap both had…"
"Talagi being used at Fullback was that he needed a possible heir to Gutho and with Brown & Moses in the halves they needed to find a spot for Talagi. We didn't have a back-up Fullback at the time either. He was learning the position and thrown upon…"
"Coryn, the Eels lack super fast centres and so, true, they don't attack from the backfield like Cowboys or Dolphins. But ensuring you make your 40 and kicking to a corner if you haven't ran 60 metres by play two is simply stock play for almost…"
"All true Coryn. My only point was that it's false to assert BT would not have developed at the Eels because the team defense sucks. As you note Moses got better and our defense wasn't great! But also, as noted, by the logic of negation Talagi should…"

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
