[This Year?]

Eels, because Parra. If you don't get on the Eels then you either made it out of your teenage years without having a child or still have hair.

 

[pantherz9103]

This won't be close. Parra to easily overcome the Tits.

 

[hineyrulz]

 

[Bazal]

Oh no

It's starting again.

 

[Someone2]

Get the 50pt thread ready

 

[wittyfan]

Titans not a chance against the 2022 Premiers.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

cripple fight

 

[GongPanther]

Media spoon feeding the public that this is Parra's window. To be more concise, it's the last chance saloon for the Eels being that half the players will be off somewhere else after this season.

No doubt, Parra will have a very good year, and all they need to do is pick up from were they left off from last year starting with a very convincing win over the Titans at home by 32-16.

 

[Valheru]

Intriguing match up. 2 lubs who perpetually fail to meet expectations.

Parra convincingly.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

The Squeals should do the Tight Ones by plenty.

 

[The Man Shake]

Parra are an even more formidable force now that Paul McGregor has joined their coaching ranks. Just a warning for viewers that if the TV camera focusses on the Parra coaching box, either make sure you wear sunglasses before the game or immediately cover your eyes. Because the shine that will reflect off the gilded domes of the Parra brains trust can potentially blind you.

I expect Parra to win well here though (seriously). The Titans making the finals last year was a fluke and they'll go back to being their usual mediocre self again this season. The Broncos will take their top 8 spot.

Parra by 24.

 

[Malabar Eel]

Both teams look stronger than last season already.

With Mcgregor on board, Eels to squeak in by a merkin.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Terrian looks right for moses to ski downhill on

 

[This Year?]

Now that tries off kicks don't count, Moses will have to run the ball MUCH more.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

This will be closer than most think, but Parra are generally more settled than the Tiddies, and Gutho will want to get off to a strong start.

 

[Vic Mackey]

The Titans pack and 2-5 look very good. I just don’t trust that spine though. We all know the Eels start the year well and they should do the job here.

Eels by 14

 

[Someone2]

A weak bench with both stone and Arthur but should still win 50-12

 

[2 weeks]

With crowds back at the game , Junior Paulo will have his father Junior Paulo Senior and his son Junior Paulo Junior at the game to cheer him on

 

[JamesRustle]

Expecting Parra to win comfortably, so it's Titans by 34-18.
