[Pepi]

That forward pack is average, only one prop on the bench.
King and Kite to dominate.

 

[Nutzcraw]

Not a bad side.

I do think they are weaker without Riddell. The key is to pressure their halves and they will fall in a heap. Have lyon and Burns marking INU because he is quite good on his feet.

I'm interested to see how our team looks actually.

 

[kingyfan]

Their defence will be a lot stronger than the raiders and we cannot afford to let them get a start on us like last match.

Cordoba is useless but Mateo is one to watch. Hopefully dessie will him a guided tour of the northern beaches before the game and show him where he will live next year.

[The Wheel]

Guess not, thanks KF

 

[Fluffy]

better side on paper than last week but thats not going to make much difference, there will be a lot of fire in this game as there always is in manly parra clashes. We need to take it up hard in the first 40 then romp home in the second.

The next 3 days are going to be painful, been a long time since we have played parra at brookie

 

[DSM5]

I think last time their big winger trampled our little one. Did we win on a golden point? Seem to recall that. Was it that long ago?

 

[Canteen Worker]

We played them at the SCG last year and beat them in Golden point. Last time at Brookie we scored a fair try and the moron ref ruled forward pass and dudded us.
