Im back at work. Happy New Year everybody.
I am so bored that I have decided to put up a really long post.
Firtsly I must pick a topic. There are many to choose from:
Im gonna go with our back row. I think this is our weakest point. But having researched this our starting back row is actually very competitive. Off the bench would be Shackleton.
Before you read this please note: 1 Im not an expert and 2 yes I go for Parra. So dont get too excited about what I say.
Assuming it will be Hindy, Smith and Mateo playing their best footy against another back row playing their best footy:
Manly Watmough, Stewart and Baily. I would choose Manly
Melbourne Blair, Hoffman, Lowrie?. Close but I prefer Parras skills.
St George Smith, Craegh, Prior. Id take Parra
Broncos Simms, Thaiday, Parker Id take Parra
Bulldogs Ryan, Stagg Warburton Id take Parra
Titans Minichello, Harrison, Lafranchi I would choose the Titans
Newcastle Simpson, Taia, Hilder Id take Parra
Tigers Ellis, Heighinton, Galea Id Take Parra
Souths Crocker + ???? + ???? Id take Parra. They are gonna have Props in the back row they got so many.
Penrith Pritchard, Waterhouse, Lewis I would choose Penrith
Cowboys Webb, Southern, ODonnell Id take Parra
Raiders Harrison, L-R Lahrs, Picker? Id take Parra
Warriors Lillyman, Mannering, Luck Id take Parra
Sharks Gallen, Toupou, Afamasaga Pitty about Bird. Id take Parra
Roosters Fitzgibbon, Kouparitsas, Cherrington Id take Parra
Out of all of these I would genuinely swap our back 3 for Manly (soley based on getting Watmough), the Titans and Penrith. But in a game of footy anything could happen. The Titans and Penrith can be equally ordinary on their day.
There are some solid back rows out there like the Saints and the Dragons, but I think the game breaking plays that Mateo and Hindy consistently put on give them the edge over the likes of Craegh, Hoffman and Jeremy Smith.
So I reckon we do have a good back row. Our depth will be tested.

Firtsly I must pick a topic. There are many to choose from:
- Team for round one
- Who should be re-signed this year and who should go.
- Who will miss out in the back line (bar injury)
- Who will be half back
