[PARRA_FAN]

I still prefer starting with Cannings/Marsh, instead of Moimoi/Riddell

Unless Hagan is playing it smart and making a last minute change.

 

[JessEel]

Come on boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Engineers Room]

Paul Ivan in for Fareni Moefaauo and that isn't a bad side.

 

[parra pete]

Would be surprised if Ben Smith plays. It only a broken nose I know, but unless he gets it plugged, he's gonna be off more that he is on.
I figure Inu into centre, Reddy onto wing. I thought Reddy was one of the best V Broncos
It amuses me how the absence of Lockyer, Tate, Hunt, and Hodges weakened the Broncs, but no mention of the fact that the Eels were without Burt, Grothe, Wagon, Robinson..all experienced and regular first graders....
The name of the games is survival of the fittest. Every Club has a squad of 25..to make the best of all circumstances. If the Broncos put all their eggs into one basket by retaining the superstars instead of catering for depth..that's their problem, and has no effect on the Eels or the win last night. It is called Tough Titties.

 

[Digeze]

Any ideas when Wagon is due back???

 

[hineyrulz]

Good side, we have to go up a notch if we are to beat Manly this week. And poor Benny, his nose looked a mess last night.

 

[Jodeci]

The team was announced not knowing the outcome of injuries as the players will touch down very shortly

very very well said as always Pete.

Burt and Grothe are two obvious stars of the line-up and Wagon and Robinson are key blokes in the engine room and no mention was made whatsoever in building a tale of woe for the Broncos. They tried to make it impossible for us to truly win - if we lose, we choked against an injury ravaged opponent and if we win, its only against an injury ravaged opponent. The media simply love creating David vs Goliath battles and its ironic that we were the Goliath last night given we had to contend with the current Premiers, playing with their MONSTER forward pack completely intact infront of a whining partisan home crowd baying for Eel blood. Damn good victory Parra.

 

[JessEel]

yea i have to agree with this

Very true, well said
However, it would be fair to say that Brisbane played well above expectation, and that we should have put them away... on paper anyway. Just goes to show how tough the Broncos in Brisbane can be.

Of course you are right Pete, but one thing the Broncos have always been very good at is creating a siege/backs to the wall mentality.

I dont think Parra's playing Manly in the Flegg. We've got Balmain at Leichhardt on Saturday I'm pretty sure..

Just thought I'd also say:

Great to see 'Boo' Speechley doing really well for you guys, partnered him in the halves back in the old days at Guildford. Really hope he makes first grade, he's an outstanding talent and a great bloke as well.

But for the rest of you Parra mob good luck this week (not too much)! Try and fire Jamie up for us, maybe then he might start playing some decent footy :lol:

EDIT: Forgot to mention, there'll be Live Updates of the Premier League match from 1pm. These will be in the game thread in the NRL forum for those who're interested.

Well if Ben Smith has to be the fall guy then so be it...Reddy has to play...he needs a bit more exposure to the Aussie selection panel.

Other than that they will have to rely on the word of Steve Michaels.

are you suggesting steve michaels' word isn't enough? .... keep in mind we've already had one international picked from PL this year belly

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

steve michaels has other things on his mind...like getting his hair to look like david staggs.

he is a pretty loose cannon.
