CHANGES IN OUR 1ST GRADE SIDE

I love my parra but I am at my end with this current team and even more with DA. It hurts to watch this team play one week and sleep the next. We need players that are hungry and team players. Try these combinations and stick with them so they can form into a 1st grade team and give the comp a good shake before it is too late in the season. The current combinations are not jelling so we need to make changes ASAP to get back into the groove. Consistancy is everything in league these days. What's the diffenece between the eels and the dragons? The dragons are CONSISTANT and we are far from it.

Below is my team to take us to the title this year:

1. Hayne (Our best attacking player),

2. Burt (Mr Reliable player/kicker),

3. Reddy (Solid defender),

4. Tahu (Man Mountain),

5. Grothe(Strong runner),

6. Humble (Exciting and unknown to other teams),

7. Mortimer (Needs more time to settle into 1st grade but we need to persists as he is our best 7), 8. Cayless (Captain courageous),

9. Anthony Mitchell (Best hooker we got and needs a shot at 1st grade),

10. Moi Moi (Scary but AWESOME runner/defender),

11. Hindmarsh (legend),

12. Smith (Reliable and very strong defender),

13. Mateo (Gamebreaker and our X Fatcor) ,

RESERVES:

14. Kris Keating (Good of the bench. Plays hooker and most backline positions),

15, Mannah (Future Captain and inform prop in the whole comp),

16. Poore (Back to best form),

17. Horro (Mr Everywhere. love this guy)

I agree that the changes I have made are not wholesale but they will be effective and it will bring some zip to this side. When Humble played at 5/8 he killed it. I felt that he and Morts complimented each other so why not persist with this combination. Robson is doing nothing at hooker and Mitchell is a natural born hooker who will bring us good go forward from the dummy half where we excelled last year. KK coming of the bench to replace Mitchell will keep that go forward going cause he likes to run himself. Morts is showing good signs every now and then but his confidence is down but he will click soon. I would love to put Mannah in the start up team but not at the expense of Moi Moi and I would keep Cayless there until he retires and then Mannah can be in the start up side cause Cayless is on fire at the moment. I don't like to bag players at all but I feel that with Robson at hooker and KK at 5/8, they bring nothing to the table and they are dragging Morts down with them also. Due to the suspension of Tahu I would move Horro to centre, where he carved up the Knights yesterday and bring Inu to replace the guru. I don'tlike to many changes as it doesn't help the team moral but 2 or 3 changes can do miracles. Come on parra. All you need is a bit of confidence.

"On June 13th the club released a statement saying 4 to 6 weeks. 6Considering it happened mid week training that puts 4 weeks at round 19/20 and 6 weeks at round 21/22 depending on when you want to start the 4 to 6 weeks from."

Agree. His front line D is very good and he can't catch a high ball... no way he should play 1
