I like that the parra singins are all great buys but Ben Kennedy is an injusy risk?

Here are some stats for some players showing games per season.

Player - Seasons - Games per season
Steve Simpson - 6 - 19.83
Glenn Morrison - 9 - 19.67
Trent Barrett - 8.25 - 19.5
Luke Bailey - 4 - 19.25
Ben Kennedy - 8 - 19.12
Mark Gasiner - 4 - 18.75
Lance Thompson - 9.5 - 18.42
Awen Guttenbeil - 7 - 17.7
Andrew Johns - 12 - 17.4
Jason Ryles - 4.5 - 17.11
Travis Norton - 10 - 17.1
Shaun Timmins - 10.25 - 16.97
Tony Puletua - 8.5 - 16.7
Timana Tahu - 6 - 16.16
Justin Smith - 4 - 15
Paul Stringer - 8 - 13.875
PJ Marsh - 5 - 13.8
Joe Galuavo - 6.5 - 13.53
Adam MacDougall - 10 - 9.7

And Ben Kennedy is a risk :lol:

If 2 of these players get injuried parra have very little to fall back on IMO.

Good luck to him, who knows, he may be proven correct come October. Who predicted Penrith would become Minor Premieres and eventual winners in 2003 after 2 horrid seasons :?:

I find it hard to be critical of one giving an opinion on the contentious topic in the pre-season. Each to their own, bag him come seasons end if he is wrong.

(NO, I do not agree with the table)

Admittedly, I skimmed over the post though this was something that raised eyebrows:

[qupte]"Dave Ronalds"]Expect Willie Mason, Braith Anasta and Sonny Bill Williams to leave mid season and put the club through unbelievable turmoil. What they achieved last year was a myth and will be exposed this year.[/quote]

I cannot fathom how one can predict that which detracts from their ranking on the table...

 

[El Diablo]

what a f**kin dope, the dogs 11th & parra 1st :lol: :lol: :lol:

*edited - DON'T GO AROUND THE WORD CENSOR*

Yup, Bulldogs likely 12th

Wow... Nostradamus!

1st PARRAMATTA EELS
Brian Smith has recruited excellent this year and finally the Supercoach will get his first Premiership. PJ Marsh has been training extremely well and is over his neck problems. Marsh will solve the Eels halfback woes. The forward pack will be awesome with captain Nathan Cayless, Nathan Hindmarsh, Glenn Morrison, Daniel Wagon, Paul Stringer, Mark Riddell and the tough as nails Michael Vella all in the mix. Timana Tahu gives the Eels so much spark outwide. Expect a massive revival this year and the Premiership the Eels were robbed off in 2001 will be here in 2005. Smith is the most astute judge in the game and the great man will reap the awards he richly deserves. With Dennis Fitzgerald as boss Parramatta have the best setup in the business.

After that you'd say he was a very learned man when it comes to Rugby league, but then...

2nd SYDNEY ROOSTERS
Unfortunately for the Roosters they will appear in three successive Grand Finals and lose to three different teams. The Roosters have recruited well in 2005 but the loss of Brad Fittler will hurt them. Watch for Brett Finch however to firmly step into Fittler's shoes and establish himself as a genuine star in the game. Adrian Morley gives the Roosters pack plenty of starch and mongrel. The loss of Justin Hodges will be a bonus for them. Once again will be front runners and will be boosted by announcing the signing of Mason or Williams for the 2006 season but will fall short at the final hurdle. It's a shame for them as they were robbed last year.

That ruins his credibility, especially this piece of gold..

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[lucablight]

LOL at all people who doubted the Eels.

 

[Raider Azz]

The signing of Lincoln Withers is a good one but both Jason Smith and Matt Adamson are dubious.

Haha, good call, jackass.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Well he also said PJ Marsh will solve the halfback problems

He was right that the problems with the #7 were solve but got the player wrong.
