    Shame Nanva not in the side

  • Darren Munro April 21, 2026 at 4:07pm

    Happy with that. Hope the boys bring the same attitude and intensity. Shame for araz. 

  • Muttman April 21, 2026 at 4:16pm

    I expect to see some changes prior to kick off. Hopefully Walker from the bench with JDB starting in the middle.
    I was really impressed with Pryke. He was hitting Bulldogs players for fun, with super high workrate. Mataele rocked a few of them as well.
    Run hard, tackle hard boys. It's a simple game sometimes.

      Saxon Pryke retained, thankfully, Arraz omitted for Kelly,that disappoints.

      Still, more optimistic this week

    Good work to retain the back row of Williams & Guymer and leave out Kelma.   Ryles must have read my blog before naming the team

    Debelin will start.

    Araz unlucky, but we know now he'll be pushing for a spot every week.  

    Well done Saxon Pryke to retain his position.  Liking him

    • Mr 'BringBackFitzy' Analyst > Cʜɪᴇғy Mclovin April 21, 2026 at 5:24pm

      Yes he has, he actually asked me if I knew who chief was, wants you to join Brown and Moa.

    Peter Gough is the referee for Sundays game. 

    • Hector Bob Down > ParramattaLurker April 21, 2026 at 4:28pm

      Happy Days 🙄

    • Nitram > ParramattaLurker April 21, 2026 at 10:08pm

      Our win percentage over the time Gough has been a ref is 52%. But during that time when Gough was our ref it drops down to 37%. Yes, that is a huge drop. We are absolutely stuffed.
