Hey, mate. I really like reading your posts, so I'm not having a go; but a person would have to be full blown, barking at the moon, hopelessly insane to think that Waqa Blake should be selected on the wing again. Mind you, you'd have to be completely off your dial to select him anywhere. But wing? I'm a better winger than Waqa - and I haven't played in over forty years!
Cool Brah, i can tell by what you normally post that you are not having a go.

If I selected, I wouldn't want Bailey and Waqa in the team together.

I'd rather give Cini a go and elevate him to top 30. Hopefully, Waqa is gone next year and Bailey doesnt exercise his option. It would be great to have 2 young centres playing for our team.

That leaves Waqa and Bailey..... I reckon Waqa is a better winger than centre and he's only real bad flaw is the spirals. Waqa I think is better than Bailey. There aren't many players who can put a good spiral... Cleary, Burton and Moses (maybe Doehli and Lomax). So against penny and dogs, yeah, probably not. But against the others, I reckon it will be ok. He only really got caught out last year against the panfers and then again against the panfers in the GF.

But now, if the spirals do come, we already devised a way with Gutho covering.

Shuster is under done

Manly bye will be rusty

We will be rocking with a stable side

Hands at hooker is interesting in NSW CUP. Yates demoted to lock
Not sure its a demotion mate.
It may not include a picture of him but the Parra Eels website has him listed as a lock.

I reckon he has been tried at hooker while Hands has been injured and out of a bit of form but now they are reverting to their preferred positions.

For those looking for some positivity to take into Thursday night's game, was just told 'best training session of the year tonight'. f**k knows if it will translate into an improved performance but it's something.

Uninspiring - no new additions after NBrown's announced departure, no real consideration of any positional or squad changes re centre/wing or dummy half cover.

Presuming numbers 19-22 won't get a run, as they didn't feature on the Club's socials (early?) announcement of our 18-man team.

I think it was because BA shouted Domino's and they all got together for a few slices in the carpark after training.... Everyone was still coming up with defensive misreads during ball work and Waqa dropped 8 kicks that went up in his direction.... But man, those pizza's really lifted the mood....

He dropped only 8 kicks??? That’s a good practice session for him.

I think we will win this weekend and win well.
We've only just lost. First game our halves had stinkers. 2nd game Waqa and Simmonson had their worse games for us in career. We also threw an intercept.
This won't happen again.

Hodgson is getting fitter also. I'd say by rnd 5 he will be completely ready

Do u even Parra LU mate?
We are going to have 30 put on us in the first 20 mins. RCG and Paulo will play 80 mins each, we will only use 2 bench players and Hodgson will do his ACL. And expect a 3 year extension for Waqa to be announced just before kick-off.
