"No they'll let him play and use the excuse that Origin matches don't affect NRL matches"
"Saifiti was always going to back-up, he was going to get limited minutes. Though shows what a joke of a selection it was to start with. Haas will be in for him now anyway."
"I think the issue many see is sin bin v send off. Many do not argue against a sin bin it is send off that is the problem. Now the debate is about head clash or shoulder to head. No rapping of the arm and shoulder did contact the head."
"Poor Eels, they probably thought Saifiti and Ponga would miss our game and now they both will back up"
"Ok now that is a joke. Suaali'i got 4 weeks for his hit. So pretty much undermines Klein as well for calling a send off.
But Hopoate accidentally makes contact with ref and gets a week?"

"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.…"

"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."

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…

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
