all grades are going **** at parra right? even hayne has had a couple of bad games in a row. pity they can't withdraw for the rest of the year. maybe this is what the Mayans meant re: 2012

 

Tigers with another narrow win. still don't look great but that's 3 wins on the bounce.

Glad the warriors won. Played well last week v the storm and with there forwards the warriors should be winning more games.

 

Titans lost that game due to some inexperience.

Ppl saying Farah played himself into origin spot is a joke, Lote is a liability and Tigers are playing quite ordinary at the moment.

Storm are marching on their merry way, ****s :twisted:

 

As a newcastle fan , I rate issac de gois over farah, IMO he has been the standout 9 in the comp

 

christ the gap between thurston and soward at 5/8 is 14 billion years , looks like its jt versus carney and cronk against pearce. cowboys backline coughed and spluttered when jt went off

 

Storm are going gangbusters but other teams will catch up to them later in the season, you watch...

 

Jeckyll and Hyde week to week different side turns up. 2nd part of your post Parra.

 

I know, once other teams start to lift the gap will definitely close.

 

easy to say that the gap will close , but its hard to name the teams right now.

 

Your problem is Kearney, and Kearney alone.
Parra signing a player like Sandow and asking him to play the way they want is like signing up David mead and asking him to play prop.
It was never a good fit, and Kearney and Parramatta have to be held accountable.


Parramatta's problems are pretty deep.
Last year they lost a lot of games by a try or less, and their golden point games were all cruel to them.
Kearney has splashed the cash this year, and strengthened the squad to his liking, yet even that same level of performance isnt there, in fact its much worse.
Friday night they didnt make an error for the first half yet still found themselves behind by 10 on the score board, despite playing an error free first half.
Kearney's defensive structure is hopeless, and clearly isnt working. Parra show sings of competing during games, but they lapse in form all too often.

I hope Jason Taylor comes on board, because he's a shifty little weasel salivating at the thought of getting a top coaching gig again and will have no qualms in stepping on Kearney's face to try and fix up his mess, and he probably would get you in the right direction. Souths won 3 games in 06, yet he took the bulk of that teqam to finals football the following season.

I think he's the best option for Parramatta at the moment.

 

Once again mate, I whole and solely agree. Jason Taylor is a great coach, and if it weren't for Fa'alago chucking his spaz attack, Souths would have been finals contenders til this day.

I'd be happy to have him back at the helm.

Dan Anderson I'd be mighty pleased with as well.

I tell you what, Parramattas biggest problem was letting some key players go. Reddy, Mateo, Mortimer, Keating were good players that they let go to put some islanders in there. Mateo was a dangerous Lock, his hand grenade pass was devastating when it worked and when everyone else tried it we got the Grand Final, no saying its a great idea, but Mateo was a good player. Inu was solid as well, but thought he was a bit better than he was, but he was ever reliable under the high ball and bullet passes from Hayne.

 

PS suck a dick Boyd. Musta missed 10 tackles.

 

I reckon Taylor would have done a better job than Lang, but I'm glad we have McGuire now, and aside from Hasler and a couple others, I wouldnt trade him for any other coach.

 

How awful were the Knights, and have been for most of the season.
The amount of inexplicable errors that they produced was very un Bennettlike, and just makes you wonder if Bennett's fuse has blown.

People can say that it'll take him time to build the squad he wants, and thats fair enough, but for the millions he is getting paid, you'd think he'd be able to do a great job with the cattle he has at his helm now.
It's still early days yet, but Mick Stone was getting a weaker squad to play much better, and Bennett has already showed signs of desperation by signing Mason.

 

Farrah will probably get the spot due to being the last man standing.
Lote is a shadow of the shadow of himself these days, and is probably the slowest back in the comp.

Even though they ****ed up, the Titans halves didnt go too badly, and Seizer showed signs of being a star.
