Taking my son to his first NRL game and he's got all the gear to wear. Regardless of the result, special occasion as we all probably remember our first Parra game. See you in the supporters bay. :D

Hope he has a great time. My first Parra game, I went with my father and my uncle, back in 1964. Parramatta v St George. I watched Ken Thornett, Ron Lynch, etc against Johnny Raper, Reg Gasnier, etc. I've never forgotten it.
Your son will be able to say he saw the great Jarryd Hayne in action. The sort of player who only comes along every few decades. Parramatta fans will be talking about him for the next fifty years, and your son will be able to say "My dad took me to see him in 2014." It will be a momentous occasion for your both of you. Hope you both have a terrific time. Parramatta has to win now!

A lot of people think Sio isn't playing because he had the f**king gall to come off contract this year.

Brad Arthur obviously sees something in Vai Toutai (I do, too - I think he'll develop into a very good winger/centre); but if both he and Ken Sio were staying next year, who would you pick this week?

At the start of the year I thought Sio was the best winger at the club and that Radradra and Toutai would be fighting for the other spot. Turns out I was wrong again, so who I would pick is irrelevant.

But given our lack of go-forward, I think Vai Toutai is a better fit on the wing for the team as it is. I trust the coach's judgement better than my own.
