Rumours and Stuff

[Incorrect]

Speaking of players being rested, I can't believe McGregor is resting Ben Hunt. He has a team still in contention for finals footy and wants to rest his 1 million dollar halfback in what is just about a must win game to keep those hopes alive... Bizarre. Seems like the sort of decision a coach who has the comfort of knowing he has a deal for 2+ years up his sleeve. Not the decision a coach with his back to wall would make....

Hoff out, Parry wing, Fergo centre?

Got to rest his hands in case they make grand final

please, no more Fergo in the centres, he is just so good on the wing

his little run in the centres really didn't work imo

 

[Gronk]

Hoff out, Parry wing, Fergo centre?

 

[84 Baby]

Oh so only people at training will play?

 

[84 Baby]

Honestly I doubt Parry plays unless Hoff is dropped

I reckon Salmon would replace him if he was dropped, his defence last week was shit and from what I have seen of Salmon he works really hard in defence

I tend to think BA wont drop Hoff for one bad game as only a few weeks back he had a pretty good fame and we were all giving him a wrap

 

[Gronk]

Agree, but doubt BA would drop Hoff after half a dozen good games, then one average. Especially against Manly who seem to be on fire of late.

Parry has to be in the 2 meter club judging from this latest pic.
Actually thought it was Lane..im saying 205 cm

I’m with OA. I think Hoffs poor games have been because of side of field. More suited to right side

Yeah I don’t think Parry plays this season barring more injuries

Agree why weaken one position for another.

BA never promotes juniors.

Two meters

Someone has been joining the dots. Fergo has been given tbe week off and won't return until the captain's run. So Parry prolly training on the wing midweek ?

I also saw a video on Facebook and Fergo had quite a bad limp

If true you'd think Parry to centre and Hoff to wing. Would/should stiffen up our defence and will be needed. Have a bad feeling about this upcoming match.

Ummmmm, if Gronk's statement is true then Fergo is playing...

FFS BA said on video that he has told fergo to go on holidays.

So it you saw a video of Fergo limping, it must have been taken of him mowing the lawns.

EDIT:

Sea Eagles v Eels, Sunday 4.05pm at Lottoland
Sea Eagles: Jorge Taufua was sent home from training with the flu on Wednesday but was expected to play with five days of rest. There are no other changes expected for Des Hasler's side with Lachlan Croker again set for the utility role off the bench. Cade Cust failed to finish the game last week with a head knock but is expected to play. The Sea Eagles have won four of their past five games at Lottoland.

Eels: Blake Ferguson has been given the week off and won't return to training until Saturday. There are no other concerns for the Eels, who have a seven-day turnaround. Parramatta have won seven of their past eight games against the Sea Eagles.

Foxsports late mail and a paywalled article suggest Parry to the wing and Fergo to the centres is a possibility.

“Late mail: Parramatta could get a glimpse at rising star Ethan Parry. A centre by trade, the 19-year-old junior Blue has impressed in reserve grade and could debut on the wing, likely pushing Blake Ferguson into the centres.”
