This weeks side is a worry

[PIG]

IMHO the side we have named to take the field this week is a big concern.

We're missing McKinnon, Petersen and Tahu and have in their place a rookie with one previous first grade game, a liability and a lock forward.

We're also missing a huge part of our defence in Morrison, who basically controls all the opponents inside balls and does a hell of a lot of cleanup work with the right side defence...also he can go the 80 mins.

Having a Wags/Burt combo worries me....there is dead set 0 attack there and there will be confusion in defence.

Reddy is very inexperienced and may have troubles defusing their kicking game and organising the defence.

I think we're putting out our weakest team in a long while...don't get me wrong we still have the class to take it to Saints- but I have fears for us and reckon we're gonna need a lot of things to go our way- put it this way, we won't win the game with 50% or less of the ball.

On paper, we should get flogged, or lose quite easily

If we do win, the premiership is so ours

 

[Jake the snake]

I think the Dragons will beat us comfortably. Too many quality players are out.

 

[half]

ppft they have torrens ffs. get over it

 

[Stagger eel]

I actually don't mind being in this situation, we're virtually playing without any pressure, Saints have got all the media glory this week and we've lost two key players. It just might backfire on them.

What ever the case all i ask of our blokes is to play to their ability and we'll give em run, a real run.

Yeah- we can definately win it for sure....our forwards and halves are gonna have top have stormers because the backline is very, very weak.

It is actually quiet similar to the game against the cowboys in round 9

Cowboys went into the game as premiership favorites all the media talking up a Brisbane v Cowboys grand final etc

Parra having a lot of big names out (ironically Tahu will miss both games) a player playing against his former club (Cowboys - Morrison, Dragons - Riddell).

As Eela said Parra will have no pressure in this game.

there's no doubt each of the 17 need to pick up and extra 15-20% in their tank to have some sort of chance, but it's not beyond us./

While I always hope Parramatta win, looking at it realistically if they lose and the players put in a 100%, no complaints.
Just look forward to getting revenge on Canberra the following week

 

[Twizzle]

we still have our lethal halves combo

you guys stress too much

Mate, go easy.

Obviously you're not a Burt fan, but he's hardly put a foot wrong in recent weeks - give him a fair go.

Wagon and Burt combining for no attack? Mate, Burt's attack has been on fire in recent weeks.

I, too, am concerned about Wagon in the centres - but mainly because I think he is a better lock, and I am concerned as to whether Wags has the agility to contain Gasnier.

And regarding Reddy, I thought he was great against the Dogs.

True, they were under-strength and playing poorly. However, he did step up and position himself well in defence.

He'll be fine.

 

[Twizzle]

it really doesn't matter two hoots whether we win or loose this weekend

its how we are playing in about 6 weeks time, with a full strength team that matters

Also, we can match them physically with big forwards such as Cannings, Moi Moi and Stringer.

If our forwards perform, then we can breathe a bit easier.

Amen, dare I say a loss will help Parramatta to be out of the media spotlight in the run to the finals (well at least until the last round vs Bris)

ffs you gotta be able to perfrom in these situations

PIG all you ever do is look at everything from a negative point of view

that'd be me

 

[fridge]

yeh dude dont be so negative. look at things from another angle.

reddy gets a week experience in a pressure cooker game, how much better will he be for it. wagon, one of our best players is back, write him off if u want - remember when ppl wrote him off a couple years ago in state of origin saying he had no attack and he produced a brilliant offload. playing without quality players means the boys will have to want it more to win.

imagine if we beat saints with our severely understrength team. our confidence skyrockets, we give the side experience without a full team, and we're almost a lock to finish top 2 !

 

[Twizzle]

Reddy will be a better player after having his debut last week, be positive, we'll do well, we may not win, but this is not the GF

 

[eeelectroshooting?]

yeh morro is out but wags will tighten up the defence a lot. and the good thing about wags is that he has the ability to pass but doesnt often, so when a good opportunity arises he slips the pass and catchs the defence napping.

i think reddy has shown better (or as good as) positioning that mckinnon has. we may miss wadeos defence.
