"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…"
"Nah. 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. "
"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.…"

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
