The Mitch Moses-Jonah Pezet show rolls into Gosford on Saturday night as Parra fans dare to dream big in 2026. Josh Add-Carr comes in on the wing after representing the Indigenous All Stars last weekend while J'maine Hopgood, Junior Paulo, Jack de Belin, Jack Williams and Dylan Walker step out for the first time this season. Former Titan Brian Kelly has been named on the extended bench along with Joash Papalii, who played five-eighth last week, while the likes of Jordan Samrani, Teancum Brown and Lorenzo Talataina get another chance to impress after strong showings against the Sharks.

I just think because Williams can play middle, he could possibly be able to play right edge. Watching Kautoga, he is a natural left edge.
Moretti needs to get his body right. Has been unlucky. Being injured a lot of the time means other younger players can overtake.
Has played around 20 games in 2 years
His playing style leads to alot of injuries I think. He runs the footy at 100kmh into the line lol. he'll definitely force his way into the nrl side eventually
Returning from calf injury ... hopefully he can get things right and pressure the others for a FG spot
Urgent athletes is what we need and both those guys fit the description on the edge.
Almost the strongest side we could have named. Rorters have named a damn strong side so will be a good test for us.
Ryles going to have a headache each week picking the team it’s looking promising hopefully we stay consistent
Our strongest team.
Regarding Moretti, we just have so much forward depth, especially at this level of quality (Good players with some potential yet getting to their prime). I mean guys like Kelma, Doorey, Moretti, Mataele, Latu, Kautoga all in the 22-25/26 range, and so they can't all stay. The likes of Kautoga and Doorey seem to be building, otheres struggled with injury (Luca, Latu) and some seem a one foot forward one back (Kelma, Mataele). A couple of them will leave by end of season if not earlier.
There's 2 players I just love, nothing special about them but good things just seem to happen around them because they always compete. Samrani and Guymer. I know it's hard to find a spot for them but gees I'd love it if we could
They're 2 guys that I think give you that competitiveness across a squad. They're always knocking on the door, they're consistent, they're the first cabs off the rank when we need someone to step up. You need these guys whose form and commitment always have them on the cusp of or in the 19 man squad. It was something we were sorely missing in 2023/24 both due to injuries and recruitment. Samrani and Guymer means the guys ahead of them can never feel comfortable performance-wise because these 2 will step into their spot.
