I haven't been watching Parra too closely this year, do they just suck now or have they been unlucky.

They suck. Missing reed Mahoney a whole lot.

The Sydney NRL media : “Ooh! Put that one down to Suaalii!!”

 

[mrslong]

No doubt Sualii is a talent….but I don’t think he’s super amazing. I just can’t see why everyone is so upset he’s leaving. Is it that much worse than when vunivalu left???

This is easily their worst performance of the year. The other games they've lost have only been by a max of 4 points I think. They look utter shithouse tonight against a Teddyless Chooks.

They were crap against storm too. Absolutely should have won that game.

I just don't see it personally. A talent for sure but you'd think he's a once in a generation style like SBW the way they carry on. I'd argue Folau and Inglis were more impressive at this stage in their careers.

He’s obviously very young so could yet live up to the hype, but at this point he’s an IGA Folau imo

I'd go so far as to say Wish.

Easily. I wouldn't find a spot for Suaali in our backline. He's good, but crazy overhyped.

Yeah they’re carrying on like they’ve spent all this money on him, other than allowing him to play as a 17yo…..

I thought Trent Robinson saying he expected him back because he`s a Rooster was stretching it a bit .
Actually he is a fcking Souths Junior .

POSITION VACANT: Someone to replace Morkel as Digital Artist. Must be able to make signature of attractive football players once every 3-5 years. Will be paid in likes from time to time.

I agree with the argument that Rugby Australia have paid way way way too much for him. It's pretty much all based on Potential, not Performance.

I don't think rugby league is going to be left bereft when he eventually goes and if I was NSW in S of O (I support QLD because that's where any Warriors player lucky enough to play for goes, BTW!), I'd probably pick him this year - even in the larger squad if he's worthy of selection - but in 2024 I'd be a bit less inclined unless there was no other option (ie no other future NSW player I'd like to bring into the system).

The NRL Video Referee Says "WOOF! WOOF!" As It Taps It's White Cane...

 

[Morkel]

I'd even say in terms of big plays and freakish shit, Cobbo at 19 was way ahead of Sualii. Not as consistent or composed for sure, I'd say JS is being developed like a show dog, at a one-step-at-a-time pace, whereas SC is like an overgrown puppy let off the leash, scoring otherworldly tries, in between doing backflips, chewing up furniture and pissing himself.

 

[Super Freak]

It doesn't have to be a Cat 1 for the 11 day stand down policy to apply.

They only need to fail their HIA. Once they do, they need to meet certain criteria to be able to play the following week otherwise they're out for 11 days.
