Pig. He'll toughen up our pack, which will allow all else to happen.

I'm rapt in Tahu. Great signing! Funny, he's one of the most bagged players in the NRL. Everyone reckon's he's overrated - until their club sign him. I've always loved watching him play.

i agree with you here misty, he is bagged out a lot by other clubs. I have never really been a fan of his, but have always thought he seems to be able to find his way to the tryline.

Hopefully i will be converted to a true believer next year.

I used to hate Parkman when he was with the Yankees, It's amazing what a change of jumper can do for your perspectives

I said the same thing about Freeman.

Newcastle fans are stupid. Tahu fills the void left by Lyon. Just needs to improve his defence. Riddell is tough but needs to get fitter & Morrison is a class player. Stringer is a very under-rated prop. things are finally looking up.

I'm glad we signed Riddell.

When he scores a try, runs and jumps the fence, sits down and claps himself, I'll be able to go and give him a whack over the head for causing Parra so much grief everytime we have played them for the last 4 years. ;-)

Suity
PS. - I like the guy - he has passion.....and plenty of it.

What are you trying to do Suity...MAKE ME CRY!!!! :evil: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I am devasted he is going :shock: , and I hope he breaks his neck :twisted: or gets 28 weeks suspension...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

While the class of Morrison and Riddell impress me greatly, I nominsted Tahu because we needed a classy young back the most to replace Jamie's efforts out there.

In all honesty I can't say there is one player I prefer over the other. Friday afternoon started the weekend well, Saturday night was mind blowing and to wake up on Sunday afternoon to hear that Morrison had signed as well.......... most enjoyable weekend I've had in a long time - the flu and no voice can't even dampen it at all. :D

I think Riddell will be the most important just because of the amount of ball a hooker handles. He will have a say in most things Parramatta do offencively. Tahu, Morrison and Stringer are awesome signings. I think Robinson is in for the fight of his life against Afasamaga for a bench spot.

well said about Riddell Suity, but realistically in the long term i think Tahu, basically for the resons that Avenger listed

but i am rapt with all of them and think Paul Stringer could turn out to be a sensational buy.....he is exactly the type of frontrower we need, no nonsense, legitimate big man to cart the ball forward and bust tackles and can offload

Stringer and Cannings together and fit and in form would be great!!!!!!!

but ultimately Tahu for mine

I chose Morrison because he will definitely help contirbute to Parra biggest problem this year.....DEFENCE! Hindy on one side of the ruck and Morrison on the Other side sounds great. We will also have some bone crunchers coming in to bruise and bash the opposition like cannings & cayless. bring on 2005 :D

I think Morrison & Riddell. Can't split em. Why?

Because Morrison will bring the best out of Hindy. He's another competitor & is very aggressive. Will give us one of the most feared back row pairings in the world.

And Riddell because he will completely change the way we attack and it will suit our hole runners like Hindy, Caylo & Morrison. Riddell is also a competitor & a motivator. Brings the best out of the guys around him all the time.
