Predictions 2006

colmac75 · Feb 19, 2006

I think that calmer heads will say yes Tahu stays in the centres and the combination between he and Ben Smith will be a Cronin Ella style centre paring.

Glen · Feb 19, 2006

I would be very surprised if Hagan came to the club adament that Tahu has to play wing. We have plenty of good wing options and Tahu is going great where he is

a) Does Fitzy have a brain and tell Hagan to leave Tahu in the centres so he doesnt ask for a release

I think you'll find that DF has nothing to do with where players play on the field, that is and always has been up to the coaching staff

You parra supporters are so hilaroius. You actually believe your own press. Calling us chook chokers is the best one yet. 2001 anyone? You guys got your arse kicked by our mob so badly it was pathetic. Oh but you nearly came back to win! Please we a were bored and needed some drama. Cowboys wiped the floor with you last year. 20 years since a premiership. Mediocrity is your middle name. Two grand finals for two wins.

And? Your point is?

You DO realise that Johns one day will retire?

What will your mob do then?

:lol:

You choke just as bad as anyone without Johns.

Newie is God's Country · Feb 25, 2006

My point is that you are very quick to criticise others and see Newcastle as below you both as a football team and as people in general. Your attitude is bad and unneccesary. Besides we beat you the last time we played you. With Joey we are one of the best teams in this competition. Without him yes we are a bit beyond it. Guess why? Your future coach who hasn't a clue. Enjoy 2007 boys and girls.

I myself like Newcastle as a place, and the people are footy-fanatics - that's always a positive in my mind.

As a football team...I couldn't care less about the Knights...Don't hate them, don't love them - they're not my team.

So you beat us last time we played - so what? The time previous to that we put 50 points on you...It's all in the past and pedantic and means nothing now.

I agree - when Joey is fit, you're a formidable team.

I am looking forward to 2007, to be honest - nobody knows how it will pan out, but with a great juniors base available to him as well as better resources...Who knows?

Jarrod Mullen has already shown what he's capable of (carved up the Sharkies on Sat night along with Kurt Gidley,) he will eventually pair up with another future star in the form of Luke Walsh in the halves when Johns goes. Nobody will ever replace Johns, but while in the past it's true we've been crap without him, these two young guys look like being the future in Newcastle, I notice a few of your fans are already licking their lips at the prospect of Hagan bringing Mullen to the Eels, but I think you'll find Jarrod will be all tied up before Hagan leaves this year. Expect to see more of us without Johns this year, and Mullen and Kidley doing the job.

Utey · Feb 27, 2006

Cant see Mullen coming to the club. I still think Hagan wont look to far for many prospects. Look at our depth.

This is not meant as disrespect to the Knights...

But other than Hagan I hope we don't bring anyone to the Eels.

Mullen is a talented kid - so are Blake Green, Marcus Perenara and Kris Keating, and they're alreayd here.

Simpson is great - but we have Hindmarsh, arguably the best forward going around, and Morrison - who is a great player. Plus we have some great young players ready to make an impact.

And my comments about the Knights struggling wiithout Joey were strictly in retaliation to comments about the Eels choking.

Parra to be in the semi's & nothing more

we've still got to hold on to them though..

Look at twenty players off contract, look at the fact a number of other clubs will also have coaching changes, look at the fact the Titans are joining the NRL, look at the fact Smithy may well be coaching in Canberra........

Our depth may well be sorely tested come June 30.

Utey · Mar 2, 2006

I had no idea we had that many players coming off contract. Hagan will be working for his money thats for sure.

sportive cupid · Mar 2, 2006

Now let's see...how many people was that who predict Parra will win the comp?:roll:

parra73 · Mar 3, 2006
