It's just a sign of the times, mate. I remember when you could get your milk delivered from a wagon towed by Trevor wannabe's. Some of these merkins will f**k up. All good though, that's what makes them unavoidably footy players. It's in their blood.
Was it Ernie, the fastest milkman in the west?

DEPTH ANALYSIS​

Parramatta have been one of the quieter clubs in the player market over the last 12 months, leaving them with a fairly similar line up in 2022 to what we saw last year. They have a plethora of backrowers to pick from, some also capable middle forwards as well, which will give coach Brad Arthur a strong forward rotation each week and the luxury of resting some players through the year. Having Rein to support Mahoney with the hooking duties is another huge advantage at Arthur's disposal. As far as concerns, it's mainly to do with the quality in the backline. The acquisition of Simonsson has bolstered the outside back stocks, but outside of that not much has changed in the backline department to last year and that was an area that hurt Arthur's side in the run home to the 2021 finals.

STRENGTHS: Second row, Hooker, Outside backs

WEAKNESSES: Back five

RATING: 7/10 – The Eels possess one of the top quality forward rotations in the competition, with a good mix of experience, reliability and youth across the board. The same probably can't be said for their backline, so if injuries strike in that department the Eels could struggle.
