"I have had, like everyone, my fair share of run ins with Poppa. Though he does carry one similarity and that is a love for Parramatta and that is good enough by me. No denying he knows more about the game than some i have seen here."
"Coryn, who are you best 5 we should look at and realistically?"
"Hi GM, I have been peeling Poopa's skin off now for a long time. He loves a purity test....get with the program or get off the boat type shit.. When he needs a slap, slap him"
"Haven't checked the thumb yet, I'm still trying to swallow the metal.

"Coryn Hughes He signed for a year - therefore he should be there for a year; Lomax signed for what 3-4 years? and there were rumblings midway or so during the season? Its simple - the club comes first. I have no issue with Lomax but my view is he…"
"Oh ok so sarcastic? Haha just wanted to get an understanding of the response before I replied back to your comment."
"No definitely not defending mate, I shared an opinion on this post and the moron went ballistic, I haven't been on here for long though followed for many years, and over the years he has quite often carried on disgracefully absolutely crucifying…"
"I also forgot to mention that every player (individually I mean) improved under Ryles over the course of the season. You could put in an argument for Lomax regressing towards the end but it wasn't by much. All good signs in my view."
"It's a start mate, the foundations have been laid ready to be built on in 2026. I was optimistic even after round 1, mainly due to how Ryles carried himself in the post match presser when absolutely everything was against us.
From there things…"

"You raise a very good case Bluey.....gee I hope you are wrong....we need him so badly IMO."
"10 years ago."
"That's an interesting question, and i've read what most people think should happen, about returning. I think we are forgetting what has caused this issue in the first place. I don't think Lomax was a happy camper, i don't know if the word mental…"
"Adam, Hopefully, we can build on the improvement we showed over the year, especially the last circa two months.
0/4 (0%) : Horrid start. 5/13 (40%) : Slow growth. 5/7 (71%) : Positive signs.
Many here might not have faith in Ryles or the club,…"

"Thanks, Randy. I managed to touch base briefly with TAD yesterday, and he's doing okay. I do miss him on here. "
"mmmmmmmm i wish i had your rose coloured glasses Adam, The way i remember the year was nothing like just shy of finals footy. With 3 weeks to go we were wooden spoon contenders. Please let's not forget we only had 8 wins all year. I agree our last…"
"Coryn, I’m probably too old to join you in the kiddie pool of gutter-trash talk.
The idea “Parra First” means never signing a short-termer? Or you “can’t develop players" if they leave? That’s a Walt Disney movie script.
And the player-options…"

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
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
For his day he was a great kicker, toe bashing leather balls off sand isn't easy.
As a centre he was defensively flawless and was impossible to put on the ground when carrying the ball.
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
