Eels team NAMED for round 1

[parra-matters]

Me too, can't believe they didn't play Quade Cooper or Beau Champion.

What about Cronk and Thurston and even Blair?
are they at wenty....:sarcasm:

Cronk is playing Bundy Cup

Congrats Taniela

I like the fact taniela got the spot-Ryan morgan i have not seen so i shouldnt knock-He may be the next star of the game.And lets face it we are weak on centres-This guy has bobbed up from no where-We all have heard obrien and Loko's name mentioned but not this kids.Its a possitive.
Our pack looks ok but the warriors will run over the top of us IMO.Best of luck thou and hopefully Moi Moi is a late inclusion

 

[jk13]

its definitely gonna b interesting. if we can hold the typical brutal start by the warriors, we've got a chance. this new attitude will get a great test with such a unknown backline.

 

[Avenger]

The weakest Parra team that I have seen since Smithy started Wise Kativerata and co in 2003. No chance we will beat the Warriors with that rabble of a backline.

 

[Stagger eel]

if I came back from out of space and I looked at that side without knowing our trial form I would say that we'd be flat out winning a game this year..

the trial form has me thinking deep at the back of my mind that we may give the opposition some curry but i certainly don't expect to win it.

 

[Fast Eddie]

They play on opposite sides of the field (ie. both on the left).

Which is lucky for Vatuvei because Burty would've f**ken smashed him.

Does Burt always play on the left no matter what? I see he has been named on the right wing but I'm guessing he won't play there then because that is one hell of a mismatch....don't know much about this Enu character but he could be the in for a working over if it is the case then.

 

[Avenger]

By the way that will not be the starting lineup. Just my tip. Walker will pull out at the last minute.

 

[Pazza]

wow!

feel much better if fui and poore were playing!

 

[Avenger]

Without a shred of a doubt Tahu screwed us with his timing about giving it away. Our centres look awful.

 

[parra-matters]

he seemed pretty sue he would be right to play

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Who is this pretty sue? Sounds like a good sort.

Hopefully she is run around Sue.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Does Burt always play on the left no matter what?

Not always - he made his debut on the right, for example - but he almost always plays on the left.

I see he has been named on the right wing

The jersey numbers mean nothing.

Left and right, it doesn't make any difference. Look at back-rowers - many teams (including yours) stick their central back-rower in number 13. Ours happens to wear 11 because that's the number he's always worn.

Who knows, when Hindy retires Horo might be so used to wearing 13 that he'll keep it despite playing wide.

 

[ParraSteve]

walker did write on twitter he expects to play on saturday night.

 

[Avenger]

Walker at centre is one of the scariest selections I have seen in a long time.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I don't think it's our real team.

Or maybe Kearney couldn't be stuffed thinking about it and just named the same team as for the panfa's trial.

Or maybe he has lost his mind.

But seriously, I think it will take a while for our team to gel!

 

[Avenger]

You can see now that we are definitely about $500K under the cap. That side looks worse the more I see it.

 

[Stagger eel]

Walker at centre is one of the scariest selections I have seen in a long time.

i don't think it's as scary as Etu though...

I think Walker has found a second wind in his career and he'll have a half decent season.
