Oh come on @pjayz, you and I both know that this this site thrives due to the delicate balance of 3 types of posts:
1. YARTs/YATTs/FARTTs
2. Taking the piss out of Parra
3. Dad jokes

Dad jokes make a significant contribution to the culture of the forum and should be respected accordingly.

I stand corrected

Locals are they?

more local than nathan cleary from penrith lol

Maybe we need a Turbo icon, for posters who shoot from the hip.

I'd like to see a "Rocket Surgeon" icon introduced as a Silvertails forum original.

Can we also have a little icon of the Pope sh*tting in the woods? Say, for when someone unnecessarily states the obvious?

Holy crap, what a divine idea. Or a bear with a rosary and shaved pate.

There is a mistake in the header.. Should read Ivan,

I like the header how it is but if it did read Ivan, I'm sure Nathan would follow suit. He'd bring a lot more family talent than our last father-son/ coach-player combo.
I understand bozo's and cleal's son's all failed to carve up like their dads but this Nathan Cleary looks the goods. Would be arkward getting dropped from first grade by your Dad (very arkward dinner conversation)

For the sake of it I'd rather Nathan over Ivan for what we're missing but Who would you rather @Jerry1 ?

Instead of bringing L Brown and co why didn't Barrett look at getting Cleary here. Being assistant coach for the panfers he should of been aware of this your gun.

Penrith is full of young guns, but he brought Brown and Api across and neither of them would get near first grade this year if they stayed. I think that says it all.

Possibly because Nathan Cleary was the coaches son, and a conversation starting with "I want to white-ant your Dad", wouldn't of worked too good.

Gould lets everything go look at his waistline

Not to mention his head. Never a handsome man, a la Terry Randall, he is now particularly ugly.

A cross we'll have to bear.

I'm afraid the sign Cleary ship has sailed.

It has been YART on here for at least 2 years. Same with Frizell.

Given we went after a Young half in elgy, you do wonder if recruitment thought they were too young, too small or if we did have a chat.

 

[Midnight Rambler]

So unlucky we missed out on elgey & taylor.

 

[Andrew..]

Let's just hope they make some wiser choices for next year because apparently this year has been our worst losing record at Brookie in the clubs 70 year history.
As a supporter I expect some lean years but at this point in time the club feels directionless.

 

[robbiea]

Thats the beauty of the drafting system ,you have a crappy year like this and at least fans have a high draft pick to look forward too.

Instead the club white-anted him and showed him the door.

 

[CBreeagles]

Instead the club white-anted him and showed him the door.

Actually he left on good terms which is why his son re-signed with Penrith after Ivan left.

I think we should look very closely at signing upcoming Penrith juniors if the alternative is signing 30+ year old journeymen.

I am sure we have some equally talented juniors but we either:
a) Don't have enough of them
b) Aren't coaching them to the best of their abilities.
c) Are releasing them to other clubs (contract or not)
d) All of the above

Having said that, right now we do not look like an appealing destination for promising junior talent. I hope this changes quickly.

a) is pretty spot on, if you're comparing us to Penrith. I'd go so far as to say get our scouts out to Penrith JRL games and keep an eye on the kids that are just missing out on their rep sides, there would be quality there if someone nurtured it.

Not only is their junior catchment massive, it really is a league heartland. As much as soccer and Aussie rules have made inroads in certain areas, there still is a 'yer dad and yer grandad played league, you'll be starting in under 6s when ya turn 4' culture out that way.

Dad joke ... You are banned from any further attempts at humour

I guess when it comes to Dad jokes and YARTs you have to draw the Lyon somewhere.
