Gutherson, Scott, French, Mau

Posted by Nitram on August 25, 2017 at 8:11am
We just went to Brisbane and put 50 on them despite four of our best players being out. Crazy times. In fact at the start of the season people would likely have had Gutherson and french as our two best attacking weapons. Mau too would have been considered crucial to the left side attack, particularly due to his hole running. Also let's not forget the hard on we all had for Scott before brown surprised us all at lock. I was of the opinion, I'm not going to lie, that without Scott in the middle our defence would be so bad we'd become wooden spoon potential. Crazy times. Enjoy it Parra fans.

    3 out of those 4 are due back over the coming weeks. Exciting times ahead

    French would have had a field day last night.

      And I think we missed him in defence as well. He just seems to appear at the right places.

    Frank Pritchard needs to be retained after his running performance last night. Also offers size against the bigger packs.

    14. Edwards
    15. Matagi
    16. Frank Pritchard
    17. Alvaro

    Mannah and Vave starting with Mau.

    Terepo, Scott & Gower, will find it hard to be included. Auva'a won't be replaced either he's killing it at the moment.

      Agree to dissagree Chief, Teripo on the bench instead of F Prichard for mine.

      It's close, Terepo s defense is better
    • Putty > Cʜɪᴇғy Mclovin 🐐 August 25, 2017 at 9:12am
      I don't believe Vave offers much - he doesn't hit the line with any speed - Terepo does ! Frank P did run hard last night and should take Vave's spot

      You'd have to include scott for his d and experience alone.. surely kpritchard be selected

      I'm not sure. Fritchard was pretty soft with his on line defence when Ese'ese scored. Needed a good first contact and had flimsy arm contact only. With King on the inside also only making arm contact, a soft try was conceded.

    I'm with you EP.

"Yea he is mainly a 5/8, If Lorenzo for some reason fails, Risati is the next option. He is a bigger body than Lorenzo with a great running and passing game. He turns 18 next year so will be in SG Ball alongside Fletcher.
Long term, I belive we can…"

"He is special mate!
5/8, Fullback. Plays Wallabies and Waratahs aswell, so hopefully he stays the course for league and parra."

"EA, do you have any thoughts on Risati? Heard big raps on him. The way people talk about him, he could be a long-term six solution, alongside Fletcher at seven. Who knows. We're talking years down the track, but just curious."
