Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Merlot]

I believe the nickname “skidsy” is derived from his initials SKD. Although I also heard he was a backpacker who did well for himself.

correct Wiz,got a bit ahead of myself there,maybe.Both combined created the legend

 

[The Chad]

And he ran for his life like a cat in that tunnel

Still think we should add Jack Hetherington.

Kit Laulilli was

We had the most send-offs of any team last year.
I’d prefer a solid 2nd rower with great defence.
Rather than a middle that plays edge sometimes like Hetherington

Can just picture that, flowers in one hand and candy in the other with the stupidest grin.

All I visualised there was the episode where Moe was all dressed up to take Marge out on a date.

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

A few ex NRL players of interest running around in Super League games this morning.

Sezer - playing his usual not doing much game.
Zac Cini - Surprisingly adequate, congrats to his manager for getting him a gig.
JWH - Cooked and running around for retirement pocket money.
Tevita Pangai Jr. - Looks like he ate a KFC out of all their stock. Walking around the field having a European holiday.
Rapana - Playing well.
Nick Cotric - Hasn't done much but has had few opportunities.
Luke Keary - He's done.

This guy puts in less than Doueihi...
Isn't he the origin of the saying "Pearce-Paul effort"?

I actually thought the saying was "Piss Poor."

 

[hank37w]

Yes getting a touch up in the end, good to see hope they bring that form into the 1st round.

. . . . . . and the Parra-sites collapse in a heap in the second round. 🤣

For those of us who remember the 12th man:
"Pretty Pearce-Paul attempt at humour that..." 😂

Parra looked good in that trial last night next weeks game against them will be interesting.

They have a good backline, I think they are a bit weak in the forwards.

Their left side attack looked well organized from the bits of play I saw, trials are unreliable to go off though different players coming in and out.

Great pass from Iongi. Well caught by the right winger too.

Great name for their official Web page: "Parra Site" 😂

They will get better when Moses comes into the side, something else to think about

Yes will be very dangerous when playing out the back with Moses, Lomax, Will Penesini and Addo-Carr joining the impressive Iongi and Dylan Brown in the backline.
If our forwards are up for it, they should have plenty of success through the middle of the Eels forwards and easily win the yardage battle.

Bet they put a strong lineup against us next week, hope we do the same.

If it's the final trial ( which i think it is) then I would expect the strongest team possible to take the field.

That follows the recent trial playbook, yes only 2 trials before season kickoff.

 

[supercoach]

Sadly Parra will be top four this year. Great backs and serviceable forwards. Also I think Ryles will do okay in his first coaching gig as the man in charge.

Personally I hope they crash and burn, but can’t see it happening
