"What 'irrecoverable injury' did Watmough have when we signed him Poppa? he played Origin plus 20 NRL games the year before coming to Parra. In fact, those 20 games were the ninth straight year he played 20+ games. He even played 17 games for us.…"
"Illegal shoulder charge with direct contact to the head with his head or shoulder (or both), it doesnt matter with current interpretation. What matters is it results in koala now missing games. Not exactly a crazy deliberate act but those be the…"
"How was it a terrible call? It was a text book shoulder charge that ended up making contact with the head. Whether contact was made using his shoulder or head, Ponga, as the defender, had a duty of care. To answer your question he should miss at…"

"I cant say we were the better side but we won in the end through some class plays . Ponga was maximum 10 minutes if at all . Once koula was injured and off the field , Klein was always going to send him off . I am not convinced with this team…"
"Yes, Ponga...the only reason we won.
I love the win, and I'll take it, but Daley again proved he is a shocking coach. If we change nothing we either lose the next two games or we get lucky again with a send-off or a few sin-bins to snag a win."

"Edwards, Moses, Strange and Brailey should be the spine.
But NSW doing NSW things have made sure that Teddy and Cleary will keep their spots even though they were both super average. Yes, a few clutch moments when we had an extra player on the…"

"The only difference was Walsh got hit after passing so the argument was he was relaxed and his head hit the floor after. What made it worse for Ponga, to be send off, was not rapping the arm."
"Was not a send off. Definitely a sin bin.
Have not seen too many replays however he did not wrap his arms around in a genuine tackle attempt and even though there was head to head contact it was still a dangerous, high risk play.
Koula was…"

"Someone went off a bit early!!"
"I don't think there's much difference between that and the Sualii send off a couple of years back. Fuck Qld"
"Can't stand these interviewers, fuck it's all roses and daisies, ask the fucken tough questions. How NSW couldn't match a 13 on 13 line up, how the NSW squad only won by 2 points and used 18 players vs 12 for 24 minutes. How refs are directly…"
"Shoulder to head on Koula, got sent off."
Remember Rodney Hogg
Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his…

Podcast Debate: Have Your Say
Some fans want major changes and sackings at the club. Some want minor changes. Others think the club needs stability and patience. And some, like me, are strongly against calls to sack people like Jim Sarantinos and want to leave club decisions to…

Which players would you target as a value investment?
Which players in the NRL do you see as being a value investment that you would like to see Parramatta sign? Often when we discuss player signings, we talk about a player's rumoured market price and their current form. Is that how we should be…

There is no doubt he is a phenomenon. Averages 64, which is second only to the Don. And the most unusual thing about him is the way he bats, which defies modern techniques.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia for you. He has now scored 6 ashes hundreds in England. No England player has ever scored that many in England.
When you take out the first dozen or so tests when he was actually selected as a bowler his average is in the 80 plus area.
Who is he?
LOL
He's definately special. Teams just can't find a way to get him out.
His technique is not in the cricketing books. Neither was Bradman's though.
Watched his whole innings last night/early this morning and his technique and mental fortitude is right outside of the ordinary. Nothing flamboyant about him, just goes on with his business and rarely faiis.
He came into this season having miseed the first 7 months due to suspension and in a few months became the number 1 scoring batsman in the world of test cricket.
FMD, a 7 months handicap given to all test cricketers and he is now starting to blow them all out of the water, and all this after being terribly knocked out in the 2nd test and not playing in the 3rd test.
FMD. Just wow, wow, wow, wowwwwwwwwww.
Exactly Snake. I think Smith is the best batsman we've had since Bradman. Bats outside the box. So skilled, yet eccentric and unothodox.
Didn't expect it when I first saw him play. Looked awkward at first.
I must admit I was a huge fan of the Great West Indian top 3. Greenidge, Hayne, and Viv.
Viv Richards is one of my all time favourite batsman. He was the gum-chewing King Of The Jungle. Never even wore a helmet. Oozed confidence, skill and domination.
No idea who he is , but if he wears New Balance he better stay the fuck away from my kids .
Weak lilly livered piece of SHIT! and now we call him a hero.
No wonder this country is fuct.
There for his own glory and pay packet.
Bit like the NRL putting the wife bashers up as the game's heroes.
