Rapes & Vagana?

[blacktip-reefy]

I am wondering how he will be utilised by Rapes.
He was ready to be mothballed as an overpriced grubber chaser under Anderson, but I am really excited about a kimmorley Vagana partnership.
Perhaps Big Nige would prefer to play in the centres?
I also hope is doing some speed work. I thought he had slowed considerably in the closing rounds this year. Perhaps that was an injury.
Any inside info?
I think I might be the first to know as I think an early trial game is set for the Knights at ballina in January/Febuary.

I think it's Parra in Ballina actually. Not that an 8 hour drive will be on the cards any time soon.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Parra V Sharks or Parra V knights?
Searley usually gets Parra @ Carrarra for trials, as they pull crowds of around 12-15k

It has to be tempting to use Vagana at 5/8. I dont really care if he is 5/8 or centre as long as Bailey gets back to the back row.
Peachey plays his best footy when he is the second option as first receiver (and broken play of course) so maybe we have an option there.
I think Raper is saying all the right things (so far) but I guess the crunch will come when we play the Tigers next year.

Sharks vs Parra in Ballina sometime in February. Ballina in February will be a good test of endurance in 45 degree temperatures if nothing else.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Well I'll be there.
& GF, it is no hotter than Shark park at the Ballina Seagulls ground.
both are close to the water & it wil probably be at night.

My opinion is that Bailey should start at lock, Hilder 5/8th and Vagana in the centres inside Merrit and Franze and Reick on the other side. Looks solid enough in defence and my mouth just starts to water when I think about attack.

Hey Reefy, do you live in Ballina?

 

[blacktip-reefy]

No.
Stop asking questions.

 

[Macca]

What's wrong Reefy? Oops, sorry another question. :?

Long drive to Ballina though.

Alstonville?

 

[Macca]

It's a 7 1/2 hour drive from the shire but my brother is moving there early next year. Might be the perfect time to visit.

 

[Sheros los Deros]

About a couple of hours north for me.

Same distance as Port Macquarie. Bring it on!

Only 94 days until round 1!

 

[cheese]

It's a 7 1/2 hour drive from the shire.

And the rest :shock: .....I reckon it took me closer to 11 to get lismore last year. I also managed to lose my license on that trip, so as you can imagine, i wasnt driving miss daisy, yet it still took aaaages.

Not that its got to do with anything, but that strecth of coast from ballina to byron has to be one of the best spots in the world i reckon.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Well cheese you now know then why I'm rarely in Sydney.

& 11 hours :lol: :lol: :lol:
I have to drive sometimes but I get to "my paradise" in about 9.
& thats doing the limit, 1 fuel stop.

What did you do stop at every driver reviiver on the way? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[imasharkie]

My brother lives in a little paradise called Evans Head which is half hour south of Ballina............I visit him regularely

 

[Macca]

Yeah, sorry, I was thinking of Coffs Harbour. About 9hrs to Ballina.

 

[King of the Hill]

Yeah, sorry, I was thinking of Coffs Harbour. About 9hrs to Ballina.

Coffs Harbour. I had to go up there for work a month or two ago. What a complete dump, a waste of space. I was expecting some sort of paradise but I found a town in the midst of a permanent recession. Unemployment sky high. Needle bins on the street. Shifty looking couples walking the streets at night. Zero night life. No young people.

It was sort of like attending a footy match at Kogarah or Campbelltown.
