"Lol good to see the salary cap working well we are no chance to sign anyone other than journeyman if we can't start winning regular games and being in top 8 contention it's juniors or bust it seems so fingers crossed they come good "
"Other than Pezet, I don't have issue with our recruitment/retention performance."
"Yeah Brisbane is only 6 hours from Taree. Stuff driving 3 hours from Sydney."
"If Brisbane matched it, he goes to Brisbane as that's his preference all along. Play with Madge and win a comp."
"Brisbane offered an extra year it seems."
"Especially with Brisbane being so close to Taree as well."
"No way they'd do that, would have some investigation happening."
"Broncos just have star power all over, we need to force them to make mistakes in order to beat them. Is a possibility hell yeah is it likely maybe not. Their forwards probably will have so much leverage over ours. Will be scary one brother."
"Snottie, you've hit the nail on the head.
Barnett is probably signing the last contract of his career, and he's never won a comp. His choices are the defending premiers, who get all the advantages in the world to stay successful, or Parramatta. …"

"No great to miss another big signing, but I also wasn't looking forward to having 3 middles in their mid 30's. Our ruck is already slow, it could have gotten worse.
After this, the R&R team need to be punted as they're unable to get these signings…"

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.
