For me, the initial "surprises" are:

No Ronald Prince, James Webster, or Mal Kafusi.

Wise Kativerata, Wade MacKinnon and Craig Stapleton all made it in.

 

[El Diablo]

Doesn't mean much. May just be for cap reasons seeing it's based on the 25.

 

[Twizzle]

Yeah...Ronnie Prince is the big omission.

 

[Stagger eel]

Yeah...Ronnie Prince is the big omission.

Why would he be a BIG omission, if he was only in the part time squad last year and only managed 2 firstgrade games?

did u receive your season ticket??? I have yet to receive mine. This is the 1st time I get season long tickets and I don't know when to expect them, Does it usually take this long?

 

[redeel]

WHAT? no look at MOI moi :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Jake,

Yeah, they came on Friday. My dad and I are continuing ticket holders, so maybe they send them out to us first? There's a lot of mailouts for the club to send, so maybe they also do it progressively over a week based on alphabetical order? And yes, each year they usually arrive around now.

If you don't get it by Aust Day, get on the blower and chase them up!

 

[Hurriflatch]

The top 25 means very little.

It's just top 25 highest salaries at the club for the purpose of the Salary Cap.

thanx bartman

In regards to the 25 fulltime squad as Hurri said they are just the top salaries you will find that around 30 players will train fulltime at Parra even though some players are not on the list.

that is actually what the footy club said to do. the girl on the desk said that they are being sent out now... but if you don't get it by australia day that you should probably chase it up. My parents have got theirs, but i haven't got mine and ..meh's and Nikki's, and they were all sent in together, go figure!! :roll:

To me the biggest name missing was Mal Kaufusi.

I don't know why, but I remember his name. I think when he played for Manly he was a wrecking ball for them.

Still, it means nothing.

Kaufusi and even Moi Moi (if ready) will probably get at least one run during the season.

 

[Twizzle]

Yeah...Ronnie Prince is the big omission.

Why would he be a BIG omission, if he was only in the part time squad last year and only managed 2 firstgrade games?

IMO he is better than some of the recycled players that we bought, that will not play any first grde games this year, and yet have been named in the 25.

 

[JessEel]

good call

 

[Jic Jarrett]

Get rid of McKinnon, Prince is 10 times the player that slapnut is.

 

[Twizzle]

And Ronnie Prince made the 7s team, instead of alot of the "professionals".

This tells me that he has been kept out of the 25 for a reason.

Perhaps he could be on a better deal, that is outside the salary cap.

 

[JessEel]

McKinnon wasn't even AT the fanday today

Recruitment has never been a Parra strong point.

Holy bump Batman #wtf

Recruitment has never been a Parra strong point.

2004 ? That list has Brian Smith’s fingerprints all over it. Yet there are some here who want him bsck as HOF. Go figure.
