i dont care if we already have good 2nd rowers/locks, i'd love to have Feeney here hes a very under-rated player.....i think we only need to re-sign Thorman and get another back (Moule or Franze) are the only good ones left

That's what he says but when it comes to the crunch he will join another football club. And I don't think it is a waste. He is a utility, He just doesnt play Second Row. He can play Lock, Front Row, Even slot into the centres or Five-Eighth.

We have him off the bench and start Cayless, Hindy and Morrison. Feeney replaces Cayless and we lose nothing.

I thought Casey McGuire was still unsigned, or did I miss that?

And....do supporters of any other NRL club have such an intense love affair with Feeney....every bloody year this comes up!

What's the issue?

He's a good player. If he comes at a cheap enough price, he'd be a good acquisition for depth.

ANdI think the coach realises that we lack a truly classy halves combination. Therefore he is going for forwards who dominate other packs in attack and defense.

If our forwards can go forward and get plenty of metres, our halves will look much better. Our backs will have more space.

Ultimately, a very strong forward pack is the key. And with the likes of Cayless, Cannings, Vella, Stringer, Tsoulos (if he ever gets back to his monster form), Robinson, Riddell, Morrison and Hindmarsh (not to mention Widders, Afamasaga, Armit...) I think a very strong forward pack will finally be ours.

I just think its strange that for about the last three season, there has been an almost obssesion from some parra fans in signing jamie feeney.

Fair enough.

I just don't understand why some people think signing him would be a bad idea.

Granted, I'd rather go after a quality 5/8 / halfback and some 3/4's, but hey - depth is depth.

sorry.......he's not worth it

and as for players like Feeney at our club.......the name Lee Hopkins ring a bell (amongst others) and i rate Lee above Feeney....yet everyone is bagging Lee, even though he is one who always has a go?????

and maybe Jamie Feeney could come over and play halfback, fullback, hooker or or wing for us, if he can play lock, 2nd row front row, centre and 5/8?????????????????????????? they are the only positions you left out?????

well thats good elementary, you must watch games with your eyes open.....but people come on here and say things like....."i feel ill when i see people like Wagon and Hopkins in the team"

and Sideshow is another one......he just gets in and has ago every game, but if we lose, he is somehow the scapegoat??????

and Wade is a champion

Well I only have one criticism of Muzza, and that's that he lacks a bit in the acceleration and speed departments.

He saved quite a few tries when Burt drifted in-field, leaving Muzza to mark the centre and winger. On more than one occassion he came off his wing and smashed the centre and told Burt to mark the centre.

Good stuff.

You just showed your lack of player talent knowledge on that one. Lee Hopkins is a bad option in the back row. We are on the verge of going back to the early 90's here by not signing the good team building players and retaining the garbage that has been left over.

ParraDaze......

you can try an offend me all you want with the comment about "lack of football" knowledge".......but if Jamie Feeney is a better player than Lee Hopkins.....i'll walk out to Cook Oval at Wee Waa and be a ball boy for the Wee Waa Panthers!!!

who by the way lost their first game in the 2nd coming era of Jamie Lyon, went down 28-22 to West Tamworth Lions in Tamworth yesterday

Lee Hopkins "is" a better player than Jamie Feeney, so is Dean Widders, so are Chad Robinson, Paul Stringer and a host of others at Parra.....I'm sorry but i don't rate Jamie Feeney, he is nothing more than an honest toiler who got his mum to put white tape on his headgear so that the Rugby League world would know who he is................................get it??????????
