I agree, compare the passion between the two on Thursday it was chalk and cheese. When I saw the Parra team song aswell Stef looked like he couldn’t care less either

That´s how I would see it for next year but this year I´d be inclined to kept him defending in the middle as part of the bench rotation with a few set move trick shots on the edge in attack. Next year when injuries have passed and Stefano is added to the middle permanently plant him on the edge with Garner taking the Laurence/MCK role off the bench.

If I’m being honest, nothing I’ve seen from him so far has me excited to see him here next year.

Gotta let the big fella have a pre season here, Madge is great at getting young forwards going. As much as he’s a big unit he’s never been a huge tackle buster or was whacking people, more like Payne Haas who just has a massive engine and can get through a mountain of work. At least from what I’ve seen of him

Was scrolling social media today and saw a post from the club with a photo of a player with the caption “Locked in”. I got pumped cos at first glance I thought it was Blore, then realised it was just the Roosters kid 🤬

Is it too premature to think the club would be wanting to negotiate with him beyond next year based off of one game?

He's had a severely disruptive 2020. Parramatta are extremely pissed he's been signed from underneath them. They are a top 4 club, if they are upset they've let him go, that's a pretty good indication that he's well rated. Played a couple of 10 minute stints with a what 90 second cameo debut?
Madge has done well identifying talent thus far, I'll give him benefit of the doubt.

Fair point. Maybe I was expecting him to stand out like Blore did. Doesn’t necessarily mean anything though I guess.

They've got until November 1st. Give him a few more games, if he continues on the same trajectory it would be wise to extend for a couple more years.
Am I the only one not getting carried away with Blore? No doubt he has potential to be a star, however he's still only played one NRL game. Calls for him to be made a future captain and locking him up for a further few years seem a bit premature, especially after he has come off 18 months of injuries.

Players like him don't come around very often.. i'd be very happy to take the risk and lock him up for a few extra years.

It’s a bit premature sure but it’s hard not to get excited about a rookie who basically bullied the form pack of the competition.

I thought he had a great debut, but we all have to be careful not to build the poor guy up too much just yet. He might have an average game this week if named and everyone will be calling for him to be released and that Madge has no idea etc etc. He needs time to learn the ins and outs of playing in the NRL week to week and a solid pre-season under Madge also. Hopefully he can be consistently good.
