Fair enough .,, I got no issues playing the other games at Commbank Parra is one of our biggest rivals ( probably second behind Dogs), and it really sticks in my craw that we would afford them an advantage ..

You go to the game every year .., has it happened ? The opposition are still more comfortable there then any other stadium ..,

If it’s just about getting the dollars …what’s the difference ? It’s only for one of the 4 or 5 games next year …the others will be played at Parramatta still The deal is with Venues NSW … do they care which stadium it’s at ? You would rather have a “home” game at Parramatta where the...

Play it at Accor if you must

Nothing on X about this Apia thing .., Maybe the writing is on the wall for the debenture thing after all …?

Sold out with majority Parra fans in attendance We’ve lost that game a few times too …you don’t give away advantage.. If you are adamant you must sell the game … play it at Accor

12 home games is the most for now , unless you are counting Parra fans that get our home game every year in addition to their 12 …half the clubs give up one for magic round so that’s a maximum of 11 for half the teams Giving up the Parra game is most annoying though …

You cannot give up a home game and play Parramatta at their home ground …absolutely ridiculous

Is it primarily about money …or trying to hide some bad crowds next year ? Sending the Warriors game to NZ is a terrible idea … I possibly could entertain like the Titans or Cowboys game which typically gets played at LO..

The difference between the leagues now is immense…looking good in NSW Cup doesn’t mean he will have the goods in the NRL… had 20 games in the NRL now, that’s a reasonable sample size, and to be blunt …he lacks size, speed and is a poor defender ..are those things changing ? If he wants to bet...

Is this legit? Fair dunkum 😂

I think I read they will upgrade him to the Top 30 mid season…. They must be doing it tough to save $40K 🙄

Considering it’s probably linked to a 2 yr deal for Latu as well …I got no problem with it only being 2 years …. Let’s see if Latu can play some time injury free ….

He will be an assistant coach here, not HC like Castleford ..so I wouldn’t really expect him to be chipping players in that role…
