"I agree I would rather watch a tightly fought game where tries are hard to come by instead of what is starting to look like touch football, the 6 again rule does my head in when it is overused and you can't even tell what they were given for."

"He could've come to Parra and roamed around and played what he saw while he played to his strengths and developed as a player ala what Blaize is doing at Penrith. Im not sure of his reasons for choosing Dogs but they were 1st and we were last at…"

Poor Tonise has been left behind on his own

Vai is a centre not a winger- must be his last year

  He's off contract end of year.

NYC, just like the 1st Grade have the Bye thus there was availability to give them a run. I am not sure we can read to much into this. It is a good opportunity for the youngsters though.

I hope Joey Grima is Ok. Without knowing any details at all, you wouldnt find a nicer bloke than Joey. He has a young family and his kids are beautiful. I wish them the best.

So J Grima is unwell? Hope he's back on his feet soon....

  Joey will be fine, he's in good hands and will be back on his feet soon.

  This weather will do it to you.

Dorki thanks for that. Trust Joey gets well/better soon, hasn't been the best of seasons for all with the club. As long as he's in good hands that's the primary thing.
