Micheal Witt is not that special either

All the people that say we should promote the Likes of

Muspratt
Witt
Pai

People people people these players are even worse than the ones in the top grade. These players are in the prem league for a reason because they haven't got it.

Our strength is with the Juniors like Tim Smith, Mateo and the likes the only thing is it might take a while before they will come through. ****Please note that I said a WHILE and I did not say chuck them in now#####.

People Talk about Witt as being some sort of saviour but the Kid will only ever be average half back without being great anyone that knows the game can see this. I haven't missed a premier league game this year and he has not done anything special at all. He needs to take charge and direct a team around the field like all good halfs do but Witt doesn't because its not his natural game.

Thormann should never have been promoted as he was playing average in 1st div as well.

People on this just throw any name up just on reputation without seeing what really happens.

Our next champion players are the Like of Tim Smith Mateo, Blake green and not Witt or Muspratt trust me but again I will say they are years off from 1st grade.

Im sorry if the truth Hurts but untill these players come through we are going to be an average mid table team.


Don't mean to upset anyone but Parra will be 1-2 years off challenging with the heavies that will only happen when the excellent players that we have coming through from the lower grades start in 1st grade in1-2 years time.

so witt runs sideways and throws stupid passes? ive watched every first grade game this season and dykes has to be the lowest rating halfback running around burts just crap and so is peterson so why not promote the likes off witt muspratt cant do worse then we are now.... witt was doing pretty good last season so the form must be there somewhere dykes hasnt shown any true form in the last 2 season....

Dykes is not a Halfback, he is and always was a 5/8 infact the year before he came to Parra he was Dally M 5/8 of the year.
Why does he play players out of postion?
Wagon is not a 5/8, Burt is not a Centre, Langi is not a 1st grader and Dykes is not even close to a halfback. stop and Smell the roses guys, Smith wants out he wants to get sacked to get a pay out so he can go coach the Gold Coast when they come in.
He is trying to get sacked and taking us all for a ride!!

PARRA need a new coach who is not scientific and technical but who is inspiring and a good manager of men. At the moment Smith is trying to be too clever even for homself ie. bigger forwards are better -look at the dogs or newcastle-they have second rowers playing there and not props-they also have good linking fiveeights who dont stiffle attacks-N Cayless is not a second rower and Wagon is not a five-eight
Aside from all this, he has an ego that says do what i say instead of lets work together and play as a team

U can role role your eyes as much as u want but thats the truth Phillips.

Y2EEL- I'd love for us to chuck the young ones in but u can't u need to devlop them slowly. But when they do come through they will be unstoppable.

Tim Smith and Blake green will be the half and 5/8 for Parra in a couple of years thats if The mad professor our coach doesn't freak them out and they leave.

but he isnt a winger either so he would be out of place which if you look at it would prob be down smith ally so we will prob see it happen in the next few weeks

I think Witt proved he's a quality player last year. He has to be better than our current lot. We can't just stick with this side and let the poor performing players think that even when they play badly they're gonna be in the side.

We had both Thorman and Dykes on the fields for most of the game yesterday, as every body had been asking for, and they did jack shit.

Too much sideways and not enough go forward.

If these guys are our great hopes in playmakers, we should give up now.

I don't kow how many times I saw the Storm push Dykes aside in defence, he really has dropped off in defence.

They both alternated from half to 5/8 and both gave us virtually nothing.

There was no creativity or game plan, there seemd to be alot of one man plays and not enough team plays.

Not to mention the lack of passion and enthusiasm.

I thought Thorman was doing quite well until Dykes came on. He seemed to be getting in there, organising guys, telling them where to run and his kicking game was pretty good as well.

Once Dykes came on, they Thorman seemed to go into his shell.

That was their first effort as a partnership. Always a little rocky at first.

Could that have something to do with his shoulder injury....or are those straws I'm clutching at?

Why not use a partnership that was started at the beginning of the year that has gone over the rocky bit like Thorman and Witt. Dykes can then be used in the same way as Webster was....
