Your Ballina Team??

[Hellsy]

Just interested in who you all think will line up for Parra next weekend verses Melbourne??? (or is it too early to be thinking about this?? :sto

 

[eelsta]

Its never too early to think about the eels

 

[Hellsy]

sorry.. I was just being a smartass in relation to something else.

Do we reckon it will be a mixture of NRL and Ressies??
Last year game 1 in Lismore was a mixture, then game 2 in Hamilton was mainly the young kids, then game 3 was pretty much the NRL squad from memory.

We know that the plan is to take the young guys to Griffith for Game 2.

But with all the injuries we have incurred so far we could see more of a young mix I think

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Trial game teams normally have reggies and first grade combined with about 6 reserves, so it'll probably look like this:

1. Joel Reddy
2. Jarrod Hayne
3. Ben Smith
4. Timana Tahu
5. Luke Burt
6. Luke O'Dwyer
7. Tim Smith
8. Nathan Cayless
9. Mark Riddell
10. Paul Stringer
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Glen Morrison
13. Feleti Mateo

14. PJ Marsh
15. Dean Widders
16. Brett Delaney
17. Josh Cordoba
18. Justin Tsolous
19. Henry Perenara

 

[Pazza]

1.Reddy
2.Williams
3.Delaney
4.Smith
5.Burt
6.Green
7.Smith
8.Cannings
9.Marsh
10.Vella (c)
11.Robinson
12.Cordoba
13.Wagon

14.M Peneara
15.Tsoulos
16.Peek
17.Widders
18.Inu
19.Hayne

 

[eloquentEEL]

I reckon Widders might get a run in a starting side for one of the trials... just to see what sort of difference it makes.

 

[shaun]

I reckon at least two 5/8's will get a go. Maybe Green and Jeremy Smith. Also might be a good idea to give one of the younger hookers a go. i hope Delaney gets a go in the backrow.

 

[nöyd]

I doubt we'll see Hindy at Ballina, on the field anyway

 

[Hurriflatch]

This is assuming that Riddell, Storer and Morris are all unavailible with injury

[Stagger eel]

don't be surprised if Kris Keating actually starts next week. he'll be thrown into the deep end at some point.

 

[shaun]

Is cannings still with us? is he injured?

still with us..

 

[eloquentEEL]

1. McKinnon (missed end of 05)
2. Petersen (missed end of 05)
3. Josh Davis (he needs to be given a glimpse into what first grade is like)
4. Ash Graham (he finished off strongly in PL last year and may be playing completely injury free for the first time in a while. good opportunity to see where he is at physically and mentally)
5. Jarryd Hayne (impressed in the PL grand final. would like to see if it's too early to throw him into the big time. i probably consider him slightly ahead of Williams)
6. Marcus Perenara (want to see him in combo with Timmy)
7. Tim Smith (want to see him in combo with Marcus)
8. Cannings (want to see where he's at)
9. PJ Marsh (want to see how he goes starting)
10.Tsoulos (want to see where he's at)
11.Hindy (missed the end of 05)
12.Delaney (has asked for a shot at 2nd row, want to see how he goes)
13.Widders (want to see what he's like in the starting side and also want to see him spend a small part of the game at 5/8)

14.Blake Green (want to see him with a brief run in a number of positions)
15.Joel Reddy (want to see him in the same side as Wade to see if there's a noticeable difference one way or the other)
16.Mateo (want to see where he's at)
17.Cordoba (see how he goes with the step up)
18.Oake (see where he's at after injury)
19.Zeb Taia (see how he goes with the step up)

The first trial against the Storm is full strength squads. http://www.melbournestorm.com.au/default.asp?sec=1&ssec=1

The next week they are playing young players.

 

[Hellsy]

We have to play some young ones though Girvie... we have about 3 players from the NRL team injured

 

[Hellsy]

Anyone know when the teams get announced?

 

[Avenger]

Apparently the young boys are in camp down south at the moment.

 

[JessEel]
