Why would anyone raise this about a young kid?
too much time on your hands and clearly not connected to anyone who is trying to forge a career in the NRL
Hope he and none of his people don’t read this rubbish
Short memories you lot
Twice created a playing style that suited his specific squad(s) and took them to glory
Before that also started to turn Penrith in to a serious club instead of easybeats
Made superstars of many players at both clubs
It’s rumoured for a short term only while he develops a...
Someone called ‘from the area’
You can tell if you look at the top of the post
As an example, if you go to the header of this post, you can see that someone called ‘diatribe2000’ wrote ‘this shit’
Hope that helps

I’m not saying he is or will ever be the same quality, but his attributes are closest to Thurston - if anyone needs to understand what type of game he plays
Instinctive
Any chance the coach’s success at the Panthers was just based on the ability of the players?
Arguably their attack has improved over the last year and a bit
They have a half who will probably be regarded as all time top 3 or 5 halfbacks by the time he’s finished
When Joey was taking Newcastle...
Didn’t you guys watch the finals?
Kikau’s work rate was out of this world and about as far from T Rex as Flanagan is from Cleary
So much negativity here
Blacktown connection is actually a genius move by Scott Fulton
Limited juniors on the peninsula, linked up out west and has produced some serious goods already
What a scoop!
Was expecting him to say he didn’t care less what happened with Parramatta this year and was just focused on 23
How did Hoops get him to spill like that?!
I read an interview where he said that when it’s all said and done and he has his quiet moments drifting off to sleep at night, ‘I just want to feel like I’ve made w00t proud’
Maybe not but Ricky Stuart changed the game and created the role of the modern halfback with his passing, kicking, and tactical game
That is the true mark of greatness - changing the way the game is played
Low benchmark
Compared to the great Bradley Clyde?
A distant second
Clyde is so forgotten, relative to his ability and achievements - likely because he has kept a low public profile, but was the greatest
He’s actually not that big
Very strong and built low to the ground
I don’t think people’s confidence in his future is misplaced, has dominated at every level he has played
Killed it in SG (U/19) while still eligible to play u/17
That’s not about being ‘the big kid’
Devil’s advocate
- great for all young kids at junior rep level to have additional opportunities to progress and have a career in RL
Since foundation, all clubs were ‘added’ at some point
If this means more kids make it, fantastic
There were times when 3 teams were added at once, this is only 1
We signed two young hookers and Gus has spoken ad nauseum about starting to build from within
We won’t be looking at these two, even though they both do good footy playing
Oh I see what’s happening here
You didn’t come up with the idea so you don’t like it
That’s the trouble with these internet forans, it’s the silly ones who spoil it for the good ones
Ask Kieran Forum
Hey Guy
What do you guy think of offering Dylan Napa a lifeline to play that impact winger role at the beginning of each half?
He could be devastating and he would come cheap

Looks for all the world like freeing up $ for an experienced half to partner an inexperienced half and set the inexperienced half up for success
Look to the Elite juniors around and secure them for middle grunt
Vaughan likely at less than 50% of Thompson
smart Administration All round
Has played really well in a team going really poorly
Has he lived up to his pay packet?
His salary buys us the 2-3 best front rowers coming out of SG Ball
What would you do?
