STARTING 17

[lil ripsta]

Does any one know or think they know who Ricky Stuart will pick for the opening game against the rabbitohs.

 

[melon....]

I reckon its pretty clear cut.

1. Mini
2. Byrne
3. Cross
4. Hodges
5. Walker
6. Fittler
7. Finch
8. Cayless
9. Wing
10. Cusack
11. Morley
12. Fitzy
13. Ricko

14. Flannery
15. Crocker
16. Catic
17. Id like to see one of the young Forwards like Shillington or Olivier.

 

[Southern Rooster]

I reckon its pretty clear cut.

1. Mini
2. Byrne
3. Cross
4. Hodges
5. Walker
6. Fittler
7. Finch
8. Cayless
9. Wing
10. Cusack
11. Morley
12. Fitzy
13. Ricko

14. Flannery
15. Crocker
16. Catic
17. Id like to see one of the young Forwards like Shillington or Olivier.

barring injuries or suspensions (keep em down Mozz) I reckon that will be pretty close to the mark. The last bench spot could be either of the two Melon mentioned or Dorn or someone who has some outstanding trials.

 

[Kurt Sherlock's Mo]

As long as Wing is in at hooker, I don't think we'll see a back on the bench (aside from "Mr Utility" Flannery.

THe side picks itself at the moment save for the #17.

 

[Roosterphin]

Surely we can find someone better than Catic for the top 17?

 

[Muffdaddy]

What about Diamond?

 

[Simon]

what happened to Hegarty, is he injured. And what about Robinson

 

[supermario]

1 Phillips
2 Mini
3 Cross (hegarty to take this spot when he retuns)
4 Hodges
5 Walker
6 Fittler
7 Finch
8 Cayless
9 Wing
10 Cusack
11 Morley
12 Fitzy
13 Ricko

14 Robinson
15 Catic
16 Crocker
17 Flannery

IMO, cross is lucky to keep his spot !

 

[Phillips]

what about Crouch :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Penelope Pittstop]

Simon, Heggarty is injured and isn't predicted to return until April.

MuffDadday, I think that Diamond will play from the bench and certainly adds alot of depth.

Honestly, what an impressive team, and we still have guys floating about, who are capable of playing first grade.

 

[melon....]

Shillington and Rose....look out for those 2 young props also. Dont laught to loudly at Crouch. It seems every "dud" Easts buy gets turned into a handy player. The Superior coaching and training at Easts shows up a lot of "dud" clubs these players came from.

Jase Cayless....bench player at Eels. Premier, WCC winner, Starting Prop and NZ International with Easts.
Chad Robinson....Reserve Grader at Eels. Premier, WCC winner, regular 1st Grader at Easts.
Ned Catic.....Reserve Grader at Penrith. Grand Finalist, WCC Winner and regular 1st Grader at Easts.
Stuart Webb....Reserve Grader at Wests. WCC Winner, and frequent Bench 1st Grader at Easts.

There's a champ in everyone, yove just gotta know how to drag it out of them. Easts know.

 

[Phillips]

have you heard of producing your own juniors :roll:

 

[woodgers]

Is Phillips definately playing for you guys again? I wasn't sure if it was just a rumour.

I will keep an eye out for this Shillington

Hegarty will be in for Byrne when he is fit. Besides that for once I think I agree with Melon. Maybe Wing to halfback and Crocker to hooker would be another option. The best thing about your side is Flannery, he is such a versatile player that he would have to be the number 1 bench player in the league based on the amount of positions he can play. Morley is a huge key for you guys, when he gets that go forward, there probably isn't a player in the league to compete with his metres gained.

 

[The Backpacker]

Yeah, Phillips signed a one year incentive based deal on the 14th.

have you heard of producing your own juniors :roll:

Oh Gawd! Here we go again. Before throwing them stones, you'd better make sure all that glass is covered.
Just taking my unknowledgable arse quickly through your own player profiles I quickly browsed through the 31 players listed. Of these, the following do not appear to have been "produced" through your own juniors.
This list may not be complete as I think I may have been a little generous, not knowing exactly what are considered Parra Juniors. Maybe someone who knows what they're talking about can correct me / add to this list.

Luke Burt
Aaron Cannings
Adam Dykes
Ashley Graham
Nathan Hindmarsh
Lee Hopkins
Mal Kafusi
Jamie Lyon
Wade McKinnon
John Morris
Chris Muckert
Shane Muspratt
Jeremiah Pai
Corey Pearson
Matthew Petersen
Ronald Prince
Chris Thorman
David Vaealiki
Daniel Wagon
Dean Widders
Michael Witt

 

[Rise Against]

Yous also have Gavin Lester 2.. dunno why roosters bought him

 

[melon....]

have you heard of producing your own juniors :roll:

Ricketson, Cross, Byrne, and a bunch of kids that debuted at Easts after scholarships...Crocker, Flannery, Cusack, What do you call them farkwit!!!????

Phillips your a dim bulb.

Don't let comments like these ruin your day M0j0. This has been covered to death last year.

It would be good to see how many First Graders the club has produced over the last 5 years though. I think that in itself speaks volumes of the development program they have in place.

 

[fat_mike]

first round team i would select

1. mini
2. walker
3. hodges
4. cross
5. byrne, as much as i dont want him there its all we have for now
6. freddy
7. wing

8. cayless
9. crocker
10. cusack
11. mozza
12. fitzy
13. ricko

14. flannery
15. finch
16. shillington
17. catic

i think going back to the 2002 successful halves combo is the way to go. we can still have wingy getting into dummy half for those explosive darts out of dummy half.

 

[X Hornet]

arnt Walker and Byrne to ugly to play on the wing FM??? ;-)
