Best of luck Parra fans. You have turned it around this year after I thought you were sliding around Origin; a good team and thoroughly deserved your lofty place on the ladder.

Hopefully the game is a cracker. Penrith has been very good when questioned this year and should come out strong. If Parra can counter should be an amazing game.

Loser shouldn’t despair; has a more circuitous but probably slightly easier path to the GF…

Pretty sure I read an article earlier in the year where BA said he trained the boys hard preseason and eased off when the season got going but he blamed that for the finals fade out.

This year he said he would continue to train hard well into the middle of the season, which would cost him games, then he would taper off for the finals as he felt that was a better preparation.

Or some shit like that.

Of some shit like that.
He also said that he f**ked up vs Souths year before by not being prepared by having fringe NRL players ready to step up if needed.

So you reckon he fixed that problem? I think this remains a major issue. Hopefully injurys are kind to us.

I think he was referring to situations like Dunster making his NRL debut when Jennings was analled etc.

So we have Simmonsson and Russell. Possibly Perham who can step up.

Ogden, Rodwell are all fit and can play NRL if needed. So we have cover.

If Rheed gets his head knocked off, and we need a strating hooker, Rein is there.

I agree re backs but forwards are a concern. Oggy got 10ish mins over 2 games. Same with Rein. Emu selected once but didnt get on the field. Rodwell got probably 30 mins all up then was banished. EEZ never got his chance. Nrown was also banished as was Carty it appears. Like I said, hopefully injurys are kind to us.

We are due some luck in September.

2017 - Gutho & French our 2 FBs were the only ones on the injury list. Will smith played FB and slips over at a crucial moment.

2020 - Lost our whole outside backs basically in the QF against Melbourne - Sivo & Fergo both got injured during the game, Then Jenko had the drugs ban on gameday.

We then had George Jennings, Taka, Waqa and Haze on debut as the outside backs in a semi final against Souths no wonder we didn't win on reflection.

2021 - Mahoney, Roache & Lussick our 3 dummy halves were the only ones on the injury list. Stuck with poor Ray stone in a position he wasn't familiar with and that worked out great didn't it.
