Bench Vella at best. Drop Wagon to reserves until he learns to PASS the ball.

How BS ever came up with Wagon as a 5/8th is beyond my understanding. #-o

The ball never made it to the centre's, thus, we hardly ever scored any backline tries.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Drop Vella to PL, until he learns to pull his finger out and do something.

My side:
1. Wade McKinnon
2. Matt Petersen
3. Timana Tahu
4. Luke Burt
5. Eric Grothe
6. John Morris
7. PJ Marsh
8. Nathan Cayless [c]
9. Mark Riddell
10. Paul Stringer
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Glen Morrison
13. Daniel Wagon

14. Dean Widders
15. Aaron Cannings
16. Chad Robinson
17. Tim Smith
18. Luke O'Dwyer
19. Henry Perenara

Cayless plays his best football in the prop forward, why move him anywhere else.

This has been done before but I will add my two cents.

1. Wade McKinnon

2. Matt Peterson
3. Timana Tahu
4. Luke Burt
5. Eric Grothe

6. John Morris
7. PJ Marsh

13. Daniel Wagon
12. Glenn Morrison
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
10. Paul Stringer
9. Mark Riddell
8. Nathan Cayless

14. Ian Henderson
15. Dean Widders
16. Aaron Cannings
17. Michael Vella

Thus our international centres both left...?

I haven't seen 'em play, but for what it's worth this is what I'm thinking Smith will name for Round One:

1. McKinnon
2. Petersen
3. Tahu
4. Burt
5. Grothe
6. Morris
7. Marsh
8. Stringer
9. Riddell
10. Cayless (c)
11. Hindmarsh
12. Morrison
13. Wagon

14. Widders
15. Cannings
16. Vella
17. Robinson
18. T Smith
19. Henderson

And what actually runs out on the field could be different again...

 

[Phillips]

1. McKinnon
2. Burt
3. Wagon :roll: we should have bought another centre...*Cough* Franze *Cough*
4. Tahu
5. Grothe
6. Morris
7. Marsh
8. Cannings
9. Riddell
10. Cayless (C)
11. Hindmarsh
12. Perenara
13. Morrison

14. Robinson
15. Widders
16. Stringer
17. T Smth

The last post i put on about why J Lyon left the club was conveniently "edited", so i wont go there, and Vaeliki was injured most of the season. So , I cant blame Wagon for them leaving.

He seemed to play with no confidence in his centres last year. Ok, it was mainly Junior and Burty, but, for crying out loud, they are there for a reason.

Exit stage left D Wagon, IMO.

3. Wagon :roll: we should have bought another centre...*Cough* Franze *Cough*

*cough* sh1thouse *cough*

 

[Spike]

I don't mean to piss in anyones pocket but f**k....... Parra have no excuses not to do any worse than the top 4 this year looking through their playing roster, particularly the forward pack. Past mistakes aside, If the Eels fail to peform this year heads have to roll because they have the side to get them a premiership.

Yep

Do you really think Smith will risk Wagon in the centres in round 1? It seems a bit desperate for mine.

 

[The Colonel]

Wagon is still training in that position and defensively IMO he is the best option. Widders will come in off the bench and play down that side anyway to lift the attack....

Yep

Maybe Ian Henderson for Tim Smith give both he and Marcus P some time to forge a great combo for the 2007 or so season.

 

[NorthShoreEel]

Wagon????????

I didnt know we were playing in a handicap competition? Do we get points start for putting underachievers on the field?

If he starts at centre, the previous post by the knights fan about us having a team that can push for the top four has to be a G-up.

Another long season ahead of us I would say.

[MarkInTheStands]

Nah with Wagon Partnering Jnr you have defense and attack, the same on the other side with Burt and Tahu. Really a solid looking back line.
