I recently did my video on how I think Parramatta will lineup in Round 1 and for most the season in 2024. The only real doubt for me is whether Brad Arthur will pick Joey Lussick or Hands as the starting hooker. He recently said he is only picking one number 9 as he likes someone to play 80 minutes. My gut feeling is he will pick Lussick as last year he kept picking Hodgson over Hands week in week out. Feel free to watch if you feel like it.

Nice video Steel, i admire that you have a YouTube account always considered doing one myself but once i put my face out there i am up for criticism haha
Your team list is spot on, i am 98% sure that is the team with only Harper being the question mark. I do not think there will be any shock surprises.
You don't have to show your face, there are some Youtube channels out there which never show their face or identity. I don't think Arthur will pick Harper over Simonsson. Brad Arthur to me has shown over the years that if he likes you then he will keep picking you no matter what and I think he rates Simonsson.
He seems very boyish on Harper, it will come down to attack or defence as he has stipulated Simonsson is more attack and Harper is more defence.
Simonsson gets the edge due to recency bias though and the season he had in 2023.
As for the channel i feel it is more personable showing a face as i am interested in doing live streams where i answer questions from some people and that as i love talking footy haha.
Trials will determine it I guess. Though I have a strange feeing Harper will get it.
I'd rather Simonsson over Harper.
Can anyone believe that brad bought harper for his defense? The player Talakai treated like a crash test dummy.
But I suppose a pre season under the bushie will turn him into a star wide defensive player
I think you pretty much nailed the 17.
I think that Brad will go with Simonson Rd 1 given he is loyalty to the players. However I also feel there are some flaws in his game.
The coaches would not be happy with the errors in his game. Sivo is our strike weapon on the left and there have been times where in my opinion he should have offloaded to Sivo and gone himself.
He will have to produce if he gets the nod because Harper will be breathing down his neck. I think Lussick will get the 9.
Nice work on the video mate.
I think that you have probably picked the team BA will.
Geez I hope he takes a bit more of a swing though, would love to see him pick Talagi at 14 atleast. That's a massive bench.
Cheers, thanks for watching.
