Parra shouldn't have any trouble beating the Panthers. We might hang in the game for a while, but our bench will cost us in the end. Matt Bell is the only bloke on our bench who has been consistant and in good form. Maurice Blair and Joseph Paulo have both been very dissapointing after looking solid last season, while Joel Romelo has only played one game this season where he was given less then 10 minutes. Hard to tell if he has what it takes for first grade.
Our starting side is fairly strong, although we have a massive weakness at right centre with Gavin Cooper being far too slow to play in the centres. I think he will be up against Krisnan Inu who should have no trouble carving him up.
The only way i can see us winning is if Geoff Daniela is a late inclusion and we drop the deadwood on the bench for a form second rower and front rower.
ie.
Geoff Daniela > Centre
Gavin Cooper > Bench.
Sam McKendry > Bench.
Maurice Blair and Joseph Paulo > Windsor
