Team for Round 3

[COACH STERLING]

Avenger, If only we could have 2 Mateo's and no Finch's it would be just perfect. Other than that, your side is spot on!

 

[Avenger]

People put sh*t on Reddy but he is a winger, not a centre. Hagan erred today by naming him at centre.

Not sure about the bench yet will depend on conditions on the day.

Considering the time off due to injury not sure about Robbo and Benny coming straight into 1st grade, might need a week or two in reggies.

Hayne did nothing and needs a kick up the bum maybe dumping him back into reggies will motivate him
Grothe'sv defence is shocking until he learns how to tackle keep him out of 1st grade

 

[Vicious]

I`m not a Parra fan, but watched the Toyota Cup game today. Tim Mannah and Tony Williams look to be first graders in waiting as does the blonde haired winger ?

 

[niall]

1.Burty (BRILLIANT!)
2.Reddy (an awsum player really pikd up his game this year, better suited to the wing IMO)
3.Ben Smith(if fit) / Tautai (i rekon he is a promising centre)
4.Hayne (finding his feet at centre, but ther is nuthing this kid cant do!)
5.Grothe (didnt have the best game but dont cut him yet, he will shutup the critics this week)
6.Finchy (had a good half at 7 against the dogs but much better at 6 for us with timmy at 7)
7.Timmy (had his time at wenty, time for him to hit back HARD! and show us why hes here)
8.Caylo (c) (100% guts every week)
9.Piggy (really playing well and making up for the loss of PJ, his fitness atm is outstanding!)
10.Cordoba (played well in a struglling forward pack, deservs a start ahead of FUI)
11.Hindmarsh (nothing to say except HINDY IS GOD, without him our forwards crumble)
12.Hauraki (too the bench in rd 4, chad will start!)
13.Mateo (play a wide attacking role and strong defensive role)

14. Keating (really coming good in his 1st season, big boots to fill but he'll come good)
15.Mannah (too good to be playing NYC, hard, fast and young!)
16.Robinson (On the bench cos he is comin frm injury, rnd 4 a def. starter)
17.Moi Moi (needs a wake up call and needs to be more of an impact, injected after 1/2hr)

GOOO PARRA BRING ON THOSE NEWCASTLE PRICKS! with joey's help we should run rings arnd the coksuckas! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Personally I think the only player that should be dropped after todays performance is Todd Lowrie. The only reason why we lost today is because the whole team made mistakes. The ones that hurt us most was the dropping the ball in our own half and the missed tackles hurt us aswell. Todd Lowrie is just not holding himself in defence and should find himself a new home for next year.

Finch will not be dropped, he will be 5/8 again. Timmy and the Finch combo worked fine last year, but when Timmy comes back, I pray to god that Mateo keeps up his involvment that he has now.

1. Burt
2. Reddy
3. Tautai
4. Hayne
5. Grothe
6. Finch
7. Smith
8. Cayless
9. M.Keating (good, fast ball at the begining should result in good field position early)
10. Moi Moi (give him time, his fitness will return)
11. Hindmarsh
12. Wagon
13. Mateo

14. Riddell (I think with his new found form, he would be devistating off the bench at hooker and 2nd row)
15. Hauraki/Paulo (depends how Fui Fui comes along)
16. Robinson
17. Cordoba

10 hitups between lowrie and wagon in 80 minutes of football...

they were pathetic...if they are in next weeks team ill be astounded!

i know wagon has been a parra mainstay but he is way..way way past his best!

spot on, but i would swap butterfingers joeyG for junior. junior is more hungry.

 

[cayless1989]

lowrie must go, hes a joke and a half.

i agree 100% this guy is not up to first grade standard!! whats the bet he will be there again in round 3!!

 

[Fathead]

It seems 5/8 is Mateos best position - do you move him to accomodate Smith ????

 

[cayless1989]

i thought huraki played outstanding today!! what do you guys reckon??

 

[bartman]

My guess for Hages' side on Tuesday - not much change predicted, though this weekend could be a danger match as well.

1 Luke BURT
2 Jarryd HAYNE/Taulima TAUTAI
3 Taulima TAUTAI/Jarryd HAYNE
4 Joel REDDY (assuming Ben Smith isn't ready?)
5 Eric GROTHE (expect him to be targeted on the kick and turns)
6 Feleti MATEO
7 Brett FINCH (will hold down the spot and be given the chance)
8 Nathan CAYLESS
9 Mark RIDDELL
10 Josh CORDOBA
11 Nathan HINDMARSH
12 Weller HAURAKI
13 Daniel WAGON (Look for ROBINSON to actually start if fit, and Wags to bench)

14 Matt KEATING
15 Chad ROBINSON (if fit enough) / otherwise Todd LOWRIE or Brendan OAKE
16 Fui Fui MOI MOI
17 Junior PAULO
18 Joe GALUVAO

19 Tim SMITH (to be named but not used until Round 4 - as an incentive for Tim to have a good 80mins this week for Wenty, and as incentive for Finch to find the form he had in the 2nd 40 v Dogs)

We really need Ben SMITH back in that backline for mine, someone who knows what being a defensive back is about. Get Jarryd back on the wing, and let Tautai have a go in the centres, until Ben or INU come back.

What is it with all these 3. Reddy, he's an absolute turnstyle in defence. I cannot believe so many people want him at centre. Dogs layed on 2 1st half tries down his side and Tate didn't get touched for his try. I'd have Tautai at centre, much better defender.

Mortimer is looking 1st grade material more and more each week. To the tool that commented on my earlier post about having only seeing him play last week for the first time, well he's just backed it up again.

Tim Manah will play 1st grade this year

 

[dazeely]

It's premature in terms of time but not the result. We have been pathetic. I am absolutely ashamed of this performance, we're missing two certain starters and you'd think we'd lost the guts of our side. So, for next week...

1-Luke BURT
2-Taulima TAUTAI
3-Ben SMITH
4-Jarryd HAYNE (his defensive decision making at centre is terrible. Needs to improve)
5-Eric GROTHE (does our defensive coach actually work with our backs? Ever? Cos you can't tell)
6-Feleti MATEO
7-Tim SMITH
8-Nathan CAYLESS
9-Mark RIDDELL
10-Josh CORDOBA
11-Nathan HINDMARSH
12-Weller HAURAKI
13-Chad ROBINSON

14-Matt KEATING
15-Joe GALUVAO
16-Fui Fui MOI MOI
17-Junior PAULO

Finch was woeful today and IMO Smith must return, while Mateo was the shining light at six.

Reddy was close to our best back both this and last week. And yet he is first dropped. Confused????

 

[dazeely]

i thought huraki played outstanding today!! what do you guys reckon??

MIA imo. Didn't run the ball until mid to late first half. Dissappointing imo.

8 Nathan CAYLESS
9 Mark RIDDELL
10 Josh CORDOBA
11 Nathan HINDMARSH
12 Weller HAURAKI
13 Chad ROBINSON (if fit )

14 Brett FINCH (on for short stint at hooker and the rest pushing Mateo into forwards - OPTIONS a plenty)
15 Joe GALUVAO (more impact than Lowrie but dissappointing against NZ)
16 Fui Fui MOI MOI
17 Junior PAULO


19 Matt KEATING
20 Wagon (straight swap if Chad not fit)
21 Lowrie (either starts or misses out as no impact what so ever from bench - Wagons twin)

 

[parra.letic]

finch wasnt that bad today!! a few kicks out on the full, so what! at least he looked like he was f**kin trying out there.
