Parra have never felt threatening to me like the Storm, Panthers and Roosters! They still have the glass jaw in them when they drop their hands. I can see us winning this but it will be very tight. Their form last season was classic Parra. They go on form runs but lack
The top gear the other aforementioned sides can find when it matters most. They can be easily frustrated into error. I’d probably have them finishing 5th this year. I Think manly go 4th. Those wins without Turbo are going To bank big time come the finals.

They've been pretty impressive with a complete second string backline.

Look at what happened to us and all we lost were average first string forwards, it makes a big difference.

Parra will be right in the thick of it when it comes to the premiership. Monday was just cockiness thinking they'd do whatever they wanted to the Tigers.

Make no mistake, Parra can match it with the best of them this year. I'm very high on them.

I thought we would lose this game for sure after the loss last weekend. However, getting closer to the game, I think we might just win this with Ponga getting a hattrick.

this is exactly what I tell myself every weekend

pretty much word for word

Parra’s pack absolutely smashed us last start. Klem played a lone hand against them.

We need the Safs to take it personally and get the soap off their hands if we want to do anything this game - or we are gunna get smacked again.

Yep I’m happy with that Move!

Wonder if it also means Clune is out so AOB just wants that bit more versatility Simi adds.

It really looks like it's Crossland's last chance saloon. If he doesn't fire up here and deliver a barn storming performance, I reckon it's the end of his footy career.

Considering they look like they're back on the drink (including game day) I won't be holding my breath.
