Not sure if you've put a blog up Parra Fan or if you've forgotten.
In case it's the same rules as last week, here are my tips:

"Yes Poppa I think you are right, concede I may have to make allowances. Specially for guys I like, you just scrape in to that group Pops.....chuckle"
"I suspect your right Richard, unless we can back date his medical certificate to an old injury, I wonder why someone like PVL or Abdo may agree to it..... LOL"
"Michael W. Its a bit like "fattening" the calf, in around about sort of way, not disimilar to Pezit. We need a hooker for a year or two until the junior hookers come through. Whilst TDS is contracted to 2028 I am sure we would let him go to a club…"
"Taking a chance here Pop, out on a limb so to speak, but I'm certain we will only get a credit when he's certified unfit to play on."
"Thats why I think we should lock him now for another 5 years at a salary we might partialy save from Matto.
Question! if Matto is retired for health reasons, do we get the credit back on the total year or just the unused portion ?"

"Apologies Randy, mean't to reply to parra supporter! Admire your math PS and of course you're right, 75% of his salary to come off our cap if he medically retires. …"
"Yeh! I agree Richard, I feel we got good value out of Reggie and it was only at the very end we lost him. Very comfortable him being pensioned off to the Titans just the same.
I think Coryn just got RCG and Waqa caught up in the same sentence."

"Does the profile picture curse continue... not sure I want anyone else gone from the club right now. Will have to reassess in the near future."
"Looking at the 17 players we have and who can cover what positions, I think it is best to have just the one specialist hooker. That hooker should be Ryley, based on exactly what everyone has said, and he is the one that is more likely to push out 80…"
"That's a shame PG but you do come out with some good comments every now and then......please don't worry about calling me Sir, the usual Cur is fine every now and again LOL"
"Coinakis is more like Riley Smith. Strong work ethic with a very sound tackling technique. Not the biggest runner or kicker of the ball. Focuses on effort in defence and good service from dummy half.
Jirah Stewart in SG ball is more like Tallyn.…"

"Smith can't be replaced, TDS can. Whether it be from within, or from outside, I don't know. Heard good things about Konaikis, but never seen him play. Don't know whether he is a Smith style, or more like TDS but, we need a hooker rotation. Maybe EA…"
"I've always noticed that your footy Knowledge was unparralled Cory, but I'm surprised, if I've read it right, you didn't rate RCG"
"Not often I agree with a poppa blog but I do this time...Nice blog sir....ha!"
"Probably will be the best of the lot.
RCG Waqa Blake oh well can't win 'em all."

Two Hooker discussion
The Eels currently have somewhat of a good dilemma. Who is the future? Is it Ryley Smith or Tallyn Da Silva. Both very different style of Hookers with different paths to first grade. Da Silva was a prodigy from Western Suburbs, playing SG Ball to FG…

Poppa's Corner: A Very Special Young Man Who Just Happens to Be a Parramatta Player
In our well-justified praise of Ryley Smith, there is a big thing being missed: his ability to read the game and footy IQ. He is a couple of plays ahead and anticipating every move both in defence, primarily at present, but also in setting up the…

It doesn't change the better part of the last three years, but we won the 2026 Witzer Pre-season Challenge on the back of some encouraging trial form. Gus Gould says trial results mean nothing. What matters is physicality, fitness and energy within…
