As a Parramatta fan I have to say that this is a fifty-fifty affair on paper. I've always liked the Berries. When I was a little boy, Les Johns was my favourite player. But I grew up in Parramatta and I've supported them since 1966. Even during the eighties, though, and those titanic battles between Warren Ryan and Jack Gibson, I never hated Canterbury. Always respected them as being the best opposition out there.
I think Luke Patten is going to be the real danger man on Friday night. We'll have to contain him or limit his involvement.
Anyway, win lose or draw, both sides have had a much better year than last year. I think the week off will hurt you guys; I think Parramatta's momentum will hurt you guys; I think Kimmorley will have to be a bit gun-shy; I think it will be one hell of a heavy battle with no prisoners taken; I think Parra will win by sixty. Oh no, sorry, I didn't mean that. We'll win by a field goal in the last minute. :lol::lol::lol:
