  • 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.

"We are that far behind Penrith. Because most of the league is. 
We have played the Premiers, Grand Finalists and Penrith in first 4 rounds. We'll lost against shit teams but we'll settle with our style once we get a run against normal teams. 
Then…"

"Surely there have been MON discussions at the club. The roster seems to be getting weaker, with less depth every year. Surely six years in the job is long enough when you see a continued downward trend in the new-talent department."

"I genuinely don't like going hard on one individual, I truly don't. And obviously MON hasn't been 100% bad all the time at his job. 
But at a senior level you're not judged on individual actions, you're judged on outcomes.
So the fact that MON has…"

What is true is you need excellent on field talent to support a rookie coach through his first years. Look at how Ciraldo was set up at the Bulldogs with their recruitment sprees and poaching…"

"The rest of the NRL are making up the numbers to Penrith at the moment. Even then, at some point Cleary will purposely have them a little bit underdone to not peak too early and slow everything down and they will still win."
