"We should have started him round 1, just like we did with Dyl Brown. We would have been building combos for the next couple of seasons. "
"Hope he kills it if you are old enough you are good enough then maybe we can sunset the Pezet experiment it is a complete failure "
"Yep Pezet defence may be even worse. Renzo reads is good. Sometimes he can just struggle to hit and stick since he is still young. "
"Rockets out of the line and puts shots on. Not sure about his reads though, but wouldn't worry about size"
"Good point + he's not that young. I think he's 20 odd. Not a teenager"
"Eat a bag of dicks Gough"
"I've watched the likes of Cameron smith and harry grant + numerous other winge to refferees for years and not a single word was ever said. Maybe if he's getting so much backlash from Moses it's because his ability to do his job is horrible."
"I'd love to know why the bunker doesn't step in at the moment! Always wonder this.

"Thanks everyone for making some insightful comments and replies. We are short in the middle and getting outmuscled. And still outscored them 4-3 tries.
We've used the most players of any club, in injury crisis, and that's usually a death sentence.…"

"Though EA, way I see it is if his defence is a problem, well what's the difference with Pezet?
I think, at least v Titans you could get away with it for a week or two."

"This was a fucken joke of a call. Letter of the law is that if Williams second effort dives over will be reviewed by the bunker. All tries are. They will see his ball playing arm touched the floor while a defender had a hand on him. THIS CONSTITUES…"
"Hows his defence? He's pretty small Jai Gray type player, or maybe a Nikorema. Is his best position 6??

"I reckon TBA will get a few debuts this week."

You can make up your own minds.
That's Tyrell May number 8 in the second pic. Was he offside? Or do we not worry about it because he was just jogging?

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.
