"Richie is top 30 contract whilst Nanva is train and trial."
"No surprise here., but , now there are two coaching positions for 2 top coaches.
But
Who will get who.? What about NQ. Do they hold out with their coach and risk getting the third best coach?
Manly are going pretty good. Will they risk waiting…"

"Yea well, why waste hitting people in reserve grade?"
"Who would get priority over Nanva and Richi Penisini?"
"I don't think you rush these players in yet, they'll get in and realise you are actually playing men and not boys anymore."
"I think people are forgetting or are unaware that this year Brown's first year of playing against grown men. He only played one game of nsw cup last year in which he got injured in. Was his first NRL pre-season too. Give him sometime he is only 22."
"I was surpised because he hadnt been hitting like that in NSW Cup."
"Our win percentage over the time Gough has been a ref is 52%. But during that time when Gough was our ref it drops down to 37%. Yes, that is a huge drop. We are absolutely stuffed."
"How on earth is Gough in ref when he got dropped in a game featuring Eels"
"Unsure what his playing weight was last year but it's clear he has had some serious body recomp in the off season. Just looks more solid. Similar to TDS, he looks to have put on so much more mass especially in the quads. Let's hope Pryke can follow…"
"We were never a chance against Manly at 4 Pines.
Gough in charge just seals the deal."

"Penisini is sitting 6th on that list, Daz.
Absolutely, JAC was / is massive, in attack & defense - his strength isn't hit ups / metres, but he's irreplaceable, imo. Very smart player.

"Teancum Brown seems to have dropped down the pecking order. "
"Gucci, what weight was Mataele playing at when he debuted against Knights? Listed as 188cm and 108kg and just don't recall him being anywhere near that. He looked like a unit and his contact in defense was excellent, maybe showing the benefit of…"
"Well done HH. Irony and subtlety in one. "
"Was anyone a bit surprised by Mataele's defense vs Dogs? He definitely crunched a few Dogs. Checked his stats and at 188cm + 108kg, he is the same size as Teacum Brown and a bigger unit than Doorey or Moretti. I think only Tuivati is bigger (191cm,…"
Irony is Even Deader

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.
