"Mose will not be ready for game two I think"
"If we had a Walsh or Ponga at fullback that would be a great option. Cleary was terrific last night. He struggled early on being the only kicking option. The line speed (and the fact that everyone is offside in origin) really cuts down his time when…"
"I reckon Strange could get moved to the bench for Game 2. He's a hard unit and would be good to have in the team somewhere. And if Moses is in the team because he's made of glass for Origin we almost have to carry a serviceable backup."
"I know it won't happen but Moses and Strage would be an awesome combo. Cleary and Moses don't really do it for me - what makes them both great overlaps a bit too much.
If Moses is fully fit, he will make the squad though. Strange was great but it's…"

"He accepted an early guilty plea and was fined $6,900. Had he challenged, he was facing a 2 match ban."
"We'll have to get you a 1 Eyed branded gavel"
"This might be unpopular but whilst strange was good, he was largely ineffective until the game opened up when Ponga went off. Moses takes pressure off Cleary with his kicking game. You can't afford to only have one kicker in origin. Strange's…"
"Hilarious that this was a fine only.
Some players simply can't get suspended no matter how hard they try.
By Klein standard (which he's set over many years of Origin) this was a sendoff - he's done it multiple times before. By how fans WANT Origin…"

"Yep, Brent Read said it clearly, granted a QLD fan, that how NSW fans are saying they were great is beyond him. He is 100% correct. Wade Graham argued against it and said they deserved the win as it was send off.
Let's be fair, no send off = no…"

"Yeah i remember that."
"How could we get Strange when it seems we struggle to get 90% of our targets.
Sorry Parrafan not you in particular but I hate when people see a great game by a player and go "we should get him" like it's that easy and there is not their own club…"

"Well they are not dropping Cleary. Why drop Strange when he was really good?
I think that's fine, keep Moses for ourselves. I'd rather him play Canberra and get a better chance of 2 points."

"I reckon Moses will start game 2 with strange in the centre or coming off bench. Any chance we could snag Strange to parra."
"Thanks NOS, great to see you put your hand up.
As Bluey mentioned, you and Captain would make an incredibly strong tag team. LB will be in there somewhere (not sure which side or with you gents lol). We'll see who moderates the debate.
We can sort…"

"If Moses is not starting then they can fuck off."
"Cap and i usually agree most of the time though. Not much to debate.
I mean let's be fair if you want entertainment for debating, Poppa is the person hahah."

Which players would you target as a value investment?
Which players in the NRL do you see as being a value investment that you would like to see Parramatta sign? Often when we discuss player signings, we talk about a player's rumoured market price and their current form. Is that how we should be…

May as well declare the off season open - we are done.
A few years ago I had a 2000 vx clubby with only 60 something thousand k's on the clock. The previous owner had done a stack of work to it. I bought it for $17k and had it for 3 years. Barely drove it in that time. Tidied up a few things that needed doing on it. I sold it just before covid and Holden pulling the pin for $25k and was pretty happy with that. I had a look on carsales about a year ago and what do you know there's my old clubby for sale for $69,000!!! It was up for about a week and the listing was removed so I'm assuming he sold it. Sorry mate it just had a LSD in it.
The first car I ever bought with my own money was a Mazda RX2 sedan. Had it for a few years and flogged the guts out of it. My goodness that car flew. You don't want to know how expensive rotaries are these days - like 6 figures or close to it - mental.
Oh I know how much chook cookers are these days mate... if we could only have back the cars we have sold Adza. During COVID the prices went bezerk lol. Holden prices in particular were stupid during the flu scam period, now there's a bunch of fools to refinanced their houses to buy toys at these prices trying to re-sell them cause they can't afford their interest rates . At the time silly boys and girls thought they'd just keep going up and up .
I do love a Vx Clubby . With all the reproduction retro looking wheels being made now in 20s and 22's you can make them look pretty awesome these days. My kids are at that age they're getting a bit car mad and wanted me to get something again after many years of not having V8s . I picked up a VE Calais 6L for a pretty good price and in pretty good shape body and interior wise , but am just overhauling the running gear to make it respectful. It's gotten a bit out of hand now 😂😂
A mate of mine had an RX3 Bridge port back in the day that would be worth a fortune today. All the old rotaries are selling for silly money Rx2, 3 and 7. I thought about getting an RX8 a couple of years ago as they were still cheap (7-10k) thinking they would go off at some point as well. I think they have started to skyrocket now too as I believe they were the last rotary produced?
When my RX2 was starting to give me grief I went and looked at an RX3 coupe which a bloke nearby was selling. It had a 13B Bridgeport and was a lot quicker than my 12A. It had a bit of superficial rust in it but otherwise in good condition.
At that time I needed a reliable mode of transport and rotaries certainly weren't that. I ended up buying one of those Subaru liberty 4wd rs turbos.
Rx8 are dogshit , be glad you left it alone 😂. I can't see them doing anything like the old rotors are doing now. Mybe I'm wrong , but they're just full of issues , and about as desirable as the RX5. I actually think that movement has now gone towards Rotary swapping anything . Obviously people have rotary swapped shit for decades , but now it's more popular than ever due to the prices of old Mazdas. I reckon ipopularity will slip past the RX8s due to even Mazda lovers hating them.
I always loved R100's , RX 2,3 and 7s . Never really liked RX4's for some reason even though I ended up owning one for a while. Just never liked their look. Rx5 was an abortion.
I'm tool old to be worrying about a clutch. Been there done that , these days it's all about the KW's and stall converters for this old grandpa .
Let me rephrase that , I'm too lazy for a clutch these days . Had a heap of manuals over the years and yes whilst lots more fun . I just couldn't be fucked . Supra sounds like a hoot . What are you racing it in ?
Looks like fun. What suspension you run ? Coil overs ? it sticks like glue by the looks of things ?
No, but I'm looking forward to adding a torque splitter to the torque vectoring when the current RS3 is sold and the latest model RS3 comes home.
I've actually driven one of those , but only a hatchback. Had for a few weeks as a loany when the Mrs 4wd got hit as our insurance covers a like for like value type deal. Was a fun car she didn't want to give it back. When the kids fuck off and get their own cars in a few years I reckon she'll be on the hunt for something like that.
