      My humble opinion Lurker agree that would be the best option for us

  • Joel K February 23, 2026 at 7:34pm

    Ffs, I'd rather lose a forward

    We really need to go to the market regarding a winger

    • Poppa > Joel K February 23, 2026 at 7:47pm

      Hang on what market are you thinking of going to.....we could get Lomax back for a few games?

  • ParramattaLurker February 23, 2026 at 7:35pm

    Positive news according to a Telegraph article he's only expected to miss 2 weeks. Returning in Round 3 v Dragons

     

    “The Kangaroos ace will miss the Eels’ season opener against Melbourne on March 5 but hopes to only miss a fortnight.

     

    The speed demon is expected to get the green light from medicos for Parramatta’s Round 3 clash against the Dragons.

     

    Addo-Carr confirmed he will miss the opening rounds but is confident of a swift recovery."

      He'll be back by rd 3 lol. Just lucky it happened 2 weeks before season 

      • Randy Handlinger > Eli Stephens February 23, 2026 at 8:01pm

        This word "Lucky"....I don't think it means what you think it means

  • parra supporter February 23, 2026 at 7:45pm

    Think Russell wing and Kelly centre is the safer bet. 

    • Randy Handlinger > parra supporter February 23, 2026 at 8:02pm

       doesn't  feel real safe to me

  • LB February 23, 2026 at 8:06pm

    Yeah I think Ryles goes with Kelly over Samrani. Samrani will be used as 19th man.

    Could be wrong.

"Yeah it's a pretty swift recovery usually 2-3 weeks. But so early in the season I'm not sure Parra will push him that hard. Even with ado we prob lose to brissy "
