Yossarian Thank you for the stats.

I CAN see why Matterson didn’t go to Melbourne without another year guaranteed. So this now looks like being his last in the NRL, so why uplift your family and move interstate away from family and friends for the same money he will receive staying with Parramatta. If Melbourne guaranteed him...

Agree The rule change is the reason we see all these great finisher’s, there was no need to practice the acrobatic skill before that. Most of today’s try’s in the corner wouldn’t have been “back in the day” Just wonder how many more tries Kenny Irvine might have had if it was always the rule 🤷‍♂️

Parramatta wants a like for like player, guessing Lomax (NSW/Aust) against Skelton might not quite meet their demands 🤷‍♂️ But it would be nice to have him as our goal kicker

The discussion on juniors today makes me question what do we classify as a Teams Junior ? Is it a kid living and playing in the area that he lives in ? Or is it just someone who’s manager brought him across from say example Penrith/Parramatta to Wests because they couldn’t get a start in their...

It was, but 15 years is a long enough wait.

Going into every game not knowing who is going to win, would be nice. In the last decade we have gone into games knowing we were not finishing on the winning side. Luck and injuries play a big part but our depth does look better this year 🤞

Not saying he couldn’t handle the defence in the centres, just don’t want to be learning that in the top grade.

Big ask defensively

Watched them play last year, And in my opinion Hunt was way below the others, and yes he might look fitter this preseason but he had all last year too put the effort in and chose not too. Play him in reserve grade and get a look at his attitude this year.

Can I ask on form how Royce Hunt is making peoples squad for our first game. I personally think these 4 should easily be in front of him. May Sione Fainu Pole Afoa

Doesn’t he also have an option to stay if he doesn’t get or like any offer from other teams ? So pulling our offer doesn’t automatically mean he is off our books.

Do Twal, KPP & Samual Latu fit the mould you are referring too ?

Has left before and couldn’t get a run and has returned. A solid backup that all teams need

I have to agree with you on this one Tucker (doesn’t happen often 😂) There’s a big difference between first and reserve grade in both attack & defence.
