[Twizzle]

boy are they gonna be dissapointed at full time

 

[Jizmizm]

Scary side. I have faith tho!

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

I hope Tim bombs the sh*t out of Slater... there aren't many other weaknesses in that team.

 

[Prodigal Eel]

I think parra have to employ something that we usually dont do....thats sledging!
Get piggy out there and tear into crocker and slater!
These two players are make or break....they have the ability to carve the opposition up, but they can also have brain snaps....and we need the that!

 

[bartman]

Kidwell is capable of flying off the handle too.

Strong side, but I think we stand a chance of getting over the top of them in the forwards, especially if we revert to the more traditional front row rotatiosn from the bench, allowing our backrow workhorses to do what they do best for 80 minutes.

I can see why JT has favoured defence rather than attack in our centres, as that Storm backline looks menancing on paper. Hopefully we can bust the game up the middle and then it will open up all over the place for our guys?

 

[Hellsy]

and as much as I luv my Matty King (actually this is one thing I absolutely LOVE about him!!!)
if any of the Parra boys get into a scuffle or do a high tackle on the Melb players, Matt King will run in and defend his teammate
