"I've got serious concerns with our middles. (And with Pezet). Unless we fix those glaring issues I can't see us making the 8. "
"Thanks EA, sounds promising. Do you rate Fletcher highly? Or too early to say?"
"All good points, LB.
With a few astute signings, 2028 could still be a contending year. "

"Very early crow here but I can see Petrus, Koina and Popo playing NSW cup next year with a chance of an NRL debut too. All three should hopefully get a taste of NSW Cup this year."
"I recon Fletcher will play Flegg and maybe a game or two in cup this year. In 2027 I recon he will be the nsw cup halfback so back up halfback to Moses. Essentially following the same development as Sanders.

"To add to the 2028 talk. Players like Tuivaiti, Iongi, Kautoga, Samrani, Da Silva, Smith etc. If they are still at the club are well past 50 games bracket that is considered the point where the game slows down and you are FG hardened. Talataina…"
"Thanks to Webster, who Moses called the best halves coach he ever had."
"Yeah i understand and things can be done for him to try and do both in some area. Though as you said why weaken one area to somewhat strengthen another when it is not a massive strength. Walker at 6 could be the better option, but him not being in…"
"He jumped from Ball to Flegg and handled it quickly, he jumped from Flegg to Cup and handled it pretty well considering size, age, experience. He has played more Cup games now than Flegg i believe. That's saying something."
"If Penrith don't have a send off or early injury to either Cleary, Yeo or Edwards.... Penrith by plenty. Hopefully not as much as the Storm game 😬"
"Agree, Coryn.
2028 is probably a best case scenario and thats recruitment / development dependant?!
Looking objectively & excluding emotion, our timeline for competing for a premiership realistically excludes Moses, JAC, Paulo, Russell, Dylan…"

"Id almost prefer guymer at centre, mobile enough and better in defence than Kelly. He just needs to hold the edge, we have plenty of attack elsewhere in the team imo. "
"Junior off the bench doing that role is the future but as you said we need the starting middles. You recon Tuivita and Moretti can do that role next year?"
"If anyone is feeling good about this game I want whatever they are on lol"
"Lol yeah ok. "

I posted this earlier on Hoe's blog, which was poor placement."Isn't it Ironic, Don'tcha think?

This guy free to speak to other clubs soon
Thats how lacklustre the people running recruitment and retention roll. Our best prop, yet he can talk to other clubs in a few months, and were extremely short on go forward props.When he was only signed until 2027, I honestly couldn't believe it.…

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.
