Non Parra Games - Pre-Season Challenge 2025

[JokerEel]

Didn’t watch but have read that Brandy said during coverage that their first graders won’t be playing either of their pre-season challenge games.

Blaize Cleary and Edwards all had surgery during the off season as well so doubt that will. E rushed into trials.

Should be fit for game 1

Fonua looked good last night will be a decent backup for the riff.

Canberra are impressing me so far the Sharks look shit

That aged like (canberra) milk

The rolly under the legs change overs were getting silly last night. Then again, rule changes aimed at pegging back Penrith can only be good.

No really as soon as Canberra went up 10-0 Ricky made big changes

The Sharks kept most of the top players on the field till after halftime

 

[JokerEel]

Cowboys second side is shit house..

Would enjoy seeing them struggle this year

Penrith v Raiders tomorrow at Shark Park boggles the mind why it’s being played there.

It’s Magic Round for reserve graders

 

[JokerEel]

Warriors with their first grade side running all over the Storm seconds..

Roger is a winger this year...What a waste!

Metcalf is a decent halfback. Can see them in the 8 this year.

Holy f**k, Morgan Harper is horrific. Insane that he ever got a gig with us, but thank god it was only for 12 months.

A better question is why he was a better player at 23 than he is at 26. The overwhelming majority of players improve in that time frame.

His best position, imo.

It could be related to reason you were a better forum poster 3 years ago than you are now... when the overwhelming majority of forum posters improve in that time frame?

 

[TheParraboy]

Probably in the minority here

I like Kevie back at Fox


Souths v Manly trial delayed by 90min

 

[TheParraboy]

For Manly
6. Dean Matterson
7. Jakob Arthur

 

[the phantom menace]

Time to shine, Jakey.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Time to shine, Jakey.

Yeah i hope he plays well.

I want him playing halfback for Manly in round 12 when we play them at Commbank week before Origin 1 when DCE will be missing from that match.

I want to see a Arthur/Brooks combo live
