"I find it strange he talks about needing the big men in the game yet he's consistently left out player like Mataele and Brown when we could of used a prop on the bench"
"Doorey done his ACL, do you mean Pryke or Moretti?"
"I feel like that comment about him being behind was more of a strategic swipe bragging about 'their' superiority in player development. He was raw, and we had to throw him in first grade early so we didn't lose him, they probably didn't realise just…"
"Talagi's defence is still terrible, he just has better defenders around him that makes it look like his defence has improved."
"Correct when it came to the halves and hooker, but we had shit forwards and backs for years under BA. Occasionally he had some success with Lane, Papali, and a couple of others, but the only juniors he blooded with any real success was Dylan Brown…"
"I do recall reading somewhere just after Talagi joined Penrith that they were shocked about how far behind he was in footy knowledge. It took them some time to bring him up to speed. He didn't play the first 6 weeks if I recall. Not sure what that…"
"It's about a 10 minute listen, find out for yourself "
"Anything about the back 5 improving that ?"
"For us to be competitive games have to go a certain way with this group that's the only reason I've put the line through us.I mean Melbourne this week let's see if we can keep these guys under 30 shall we that'll be a positive sign.

"He's really good to listen to.
Interesting what he's saying about how if these rules persist there will be changes to recruitment, with the small utility forward less important and the big man gaining prominence.

"Couldnt agree more. We have done everything to support Penisis. Time for a change i think. "
"Rather than concluding Talagi would not have developed if he statyed at the Eels, because our defense is so bad, the other way to look at it is to ask why Talagi's defense is bad at the Panthers? Basically, WHAT IS HIS EXCUSE?
What in the Panthers'…"

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.
