I'm confident that Blake Green will stay. Its not like he will go to Manly now. Not with Travis Burns and Lyon there.

From all reports he is a very bright kid. He will know what is best for him and that is to stay at Parra.

He plays very similar to Craig Gower, don't you think?

That long kicking game is superior to Timmy's. Timmy is however more elusive.

I thoought their tactic of aiming to kick it between the fullback and wing paid off in the wet, One of Burtys kicks was sensational.

Yeah but 9/10 they were returning the ball back to the 30 of 40 meter line. We have to find space, even if it means kicking on the 3rd or 4th tackle.

it was definitely a problem in the first 20 minutes. wewere more or less camped in our half due to mistakes and conceding penalties.

Elusive...????? What an interesting description. I haven't seen him run the ball from a set play in a long long time.

As long as he plays 1st grade, he'll stay, FFS he turned down Melb last year when all juniors would have jumped to there

"Tell him he's dreamin"..:lol:

what about the play he set in the second half wher he ran across field showed the ball on his right arm drew the defence gave it to Benny and all Benny needed to do was turn around and give it to unmarked Grothe but unfortunately he slipped over.

he was no where near as bad as you're making out...but hey we'll let you have your fun.

it's a difficult situation to be in we're a club with several up and coming halves and we're not going to be able to keep all of them.

Tim Smith
Blake Green
James Maloney
Kris Keating
Trent Hodkinson

juniors

Cam Speechly
Albert Kelly
Daniel Mahoney

all of the above with the exception of James Maloney atm, have firstgrade written all over them.
i reckon we should go for maloney and mahoney in the halves it just rolls off the tongue so well

I am just glad that he is not with us anymore, we have enough Hookers and he is no half or 5/8th
