I can't see why Vella was dropped he has been good off the bench. Also Cordoba should be in that team too.

I don't really beat Hindy up as being a 'God' but he certainly something very special, and maybe when he's retired you'll actually notice his absense - not just on the field, but as a guy (pretty much) every fan respects - there hasn't been a single player like him at Parramatta for over 10 years.
In MY opinion, Hindmarsh played well on the weekend - people possibly expect too much of him every week, but it is now a luxury that we have other guys picking up the slack, and I'm not complaining.

i just find it hard when people on this board have double standards for him and other players - in this case him and Cayless
i think Hindmarsh has been below his best and i think Cayless ahs been below his best, yet people seem fine with the fact that our Captain has been demoted and embarrassed and Hindmarsh is allowed to stand pat

The Colonel said:In todays telegraph Smith talks about Cayless's demotion.
The gist of the story was it wasn't permanent and that Cayless has been at his best in the back end of the game rather than the front of the game so far.
Bigfella said:If people think Cayless is unlucky or harshly treated to be dropped to the bench then I am glad they are not involved in the coaching staff of our club.
If they can compare his form and contribution to Nathan Hindmarsh's since 2001 then I am even more glad.
Parra Guru said:I understand what you're getting at, but Hindmarsh has been playing average at worst IMO. Cayless has been shocking. Dropped balls, no go forward. Hindy will always add something to the game in either defence or attack, but Cayless' handling has been inexcusable, particularly against the Knights.
I like Cayless, but he deserves most of the criticism he's getting at the moment.
This week I probably wouldn't have dropped him, but switched him to the second row or the bench where he has been placed.
True EEL said:people have short memories i'm afraid
Cayless was one of our best week in and week out last year, after a slow start
Bigfella said:Stats may suggest he had a good game on the weekend. The video tape does not.
Suitman said:Sorry, but I'm with Bigfella on this as well.
We have seen what Cayless can do - circa 2000-2001. Brilliant. Strong, tough, agressive........
But, since then he has been on the downward slide, without a doubt.
To the point now where he would be lucky to make First Grade, if his name wasn't Nathan Cayless.
The humiliation of starting off the bench, with the (c) next to his name will hopefully be the biggest wake up call of his career.
Because, by god, he needs it.
