Manly/Parra combined team

Back in the day someone here used to do a hybrid team every week of our side and the opposition. Always thought it was an interesting read.

My take on the best combined 17 on current form would be

1. Stewart
2. Semi
3. Matai / Jennings (struck match)
4. Lyon
5. T Turbo
6. Walker / Norman (I'd take either)
7. Foran
8. Paulo
9. Peats
10. Myles
11. Ma'u
12. Taupau
13. Jake T

14. Parcell
15. Moeroa
16. Scott (based on having a utility forward)
17. Vave
 
Ewwwwww.

Mixing us with them is like taking Johnny Walker Blue and mixing it with Coke.

Just wrong.

Actually I did that once before many years ago just to stir a mate who is a self-proclaimed scotch 'connoisseur' .

Its actually really nice if ignore the fact its $25 per glass 😕

Id like to think that mixing Manly with parra is like mixing JW King George V with Metho. @:D

I'll never forget taking a Rugby Union Tour to the British Isles for RWC 1999.

We had to fill in the weeks between games so went up to Scotland to do the Whiskey Trail.

On arrival at Glenfiddoch, we did a tasting and then a few paid 50 Quid to taste the old stuff.

Out comes a 50 year old whiskey ( melt in your mouth stuff), one of the young blokes ( whose Dad had paid ) asked " can I get some coke with that ", FMD I thought the Scottish guy behind the bar was going to have a heart attack on the spot!

Koroisau should be halfback he's in better form then Foran
 
If you wanted to do a combined team based on our line ups it would be something like this:

1. Brett Stewart
2. Semi Radradra
3. Dylan Walker
4. Jamie Lyon
5. Tom Trbojevic
6. Corey Norman
7. Kieran Foran (regrettably)
8. Junior Paulo
9. Matt Parcell
10. Nate Myles
11. Manu Ma'u
12. Martin Taupau
13. Jake Trbojevic
14. Brenton Lawrence
15. Danny Wicks
16. Siosaia Vave
17. Kenny Edwards

That's 10 Manly players and 7 Parra players. Which is pretty fair I reckon.
