They can't be that hard to tell apart mate?

Don't joke mate, the last time I had such issues telling two blokes apart was when I saw that movie that starred that Arnie and Danny De Vito. Deadset left me stumped until Arnie manned up and grew some ovaries.

PS - Agree with OA on the 3,2,1!

:)

Surely that got easier after De Vito got a run on the wing for the Broncos though?

True but now I am just amazed as to how he manages to balance starring in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia while befuddling Parra supporters into thinking he would be a good pick up due to a handful of decent games for the Broncos. If a man were ever to deserve to complete the Grand Slam of acting accolades (Oscar/Emmy/Gold Logie) it is truly him.

Didn't get much ball at all to be honest. We went down our right a lot (Henry's edge with Quinlan sweeping) but we invariably made a mistake or just used Butler-Fleming with the cut-out ball. He dropped a god awful pass from Henry at one stage which wasn't his fault and otherwise did some useful ruck work and defended pretty well.



Barring the bad pass I mentioned above he was pretty solid. The dynamic between Henry and Matterson is a lot healthier compared to Kelly/Matterson, or at least in my opinion. They shared long kicking duties and both kicked pretty well in that area while Henry took most of the attacking kicks - of which he tended to err on the side of just too heavy. He set up a good try for Butler-Fleming in the second half with a long cut out ball but then later put the same player under a fair bit of pressure with a similar ball in less appropriate conditions.

But as negative as I may be sounding I thought he did a decent job and one thing that is worth mentioning is that he has a handy game sense. It would take too long to explain it all context wise but he is pretty vocal when certain chances present themselves in real time and tends to make decent calls in those situations.

Thanks mate, I appreciate the feedback. He was a very good young player but has had a terrible run with injuries over the past five years. Good to hear he went ok out there.

On a side note Forty20, has anyone in the illustrious Parra organisation spotted you for what you do for everyday fans?

Surely there is a paying job for you somewhere in stakeholder/community engagement that they can use such a dedicated and talented young club man like yourself?

I doubt there is a single member on this entire Forum that would not provide a glowing reference on your abilities to go out of your way to engage with supporters, particularly in a digital environment.

Sorry for the late reply here.

I'm not sure if they were aware of the weekly Holden Cup/NSW cup match updates prior to my live streaming of the Penrith trial but that in particular caused a bit of a stir. I have had some interactions with the club since then mostly to explore expanding digital coverage of the lower grades (a prickly issue given the television [Nine/Fox] and the digital [Telstra] rights) but the NRL as ever are as slow as molasses to adopt standards that should be, well, standard.

NSWRL made some encouraging steps forwards this year with their live streaming of the District Representative finals, NSW/QLD Residents and NSW/QLD 16s which might hopefully pave the way for similar endeavours next year but as it is I just have the resources available to me as a normal supporter that is willing to test the limits at times.
