Wingers next year

Hope you're all staying safe in lockdown fellow parra supporters. With the dogs signing Dufty for next year what are your thoughts regarding wing stocks for 2022 at parra. Fergo is likely to leave and I don't really have that much confidence in Dunster. Would anyone consider Bevan French? And I know this is a bit out of left field and he has had his off field issues but how about Jayden Okonbor? Has the size and pace and the dogs are moving him on. Might want to prove himself at a new club. Thoughts?

  • Bevan French on the wing? He will end up with negative meters after 80min.  French is a fullback if he has big wingers to cover for his meters from the back end. Alternately if he bulks up a bit more, I can see him as a five eight with a solid organising halfback complementing him. So at eels he has no future really. Maybe no14.

  • Dunster has a future in the nrl. His defence is great. He should add a few kilos in the off season and than we will have a defensively astute winger who can provide plenty of meters. His work rate is great. Just gets man handled a bit. I would love to see W Blake on the wing and Penisini to center. He is ready for the NRL.

    • I'm not sold on Dunster yet. He hasn't done anything in his short time to suggest he's going to be anything but a solid effort player.

      Not once has he looked dangerous. Seemingly no X-Factor at all. 

  • There isn't much on the market right now but I would be looking at Brisbane for a winger/centre. Issako and Oates come to mind also Tesi Niu is impressive and is off contract for 22. I also noticed that Mansour was 18th man for Souths and could be an interesting signing. Also, Jorge Tafua, Moses Suli and Dylan Walker could also be options.

  • What is this footy blog doing here on bye weekend? We are busy arguing about Covid check ins, used car prices and the Delta strain. CarloEEL2  is worried about becoming fertile again and Prof. Daz  is tired of shouting at clouds. I hate bye weekend and hate SOO 3 dead rubber games, messes up the NRL.

    Dunster is a dud, well I hope he proves me wrong and comes back next year as the new Semi. We have Sivo and I hope the young Fijian ( too lazy to look up his name) from Reggie’s is given a go, the 5 mins I watched him impressed me more than the 3-4 games of Dunster. Unfortunately the young fellow isn’t a Rouse Hill Rhino or he would probably have played NRL already. 

    • Bahahaha I'm still fertile - unfortunately 🤔🤣🤣🤣

      what a funny bloody blog 

  • We've missed those tough 2nd tackle carries from Fergo... you need momentum early in sets and lately we've lacked it 

  • Matt Ikuvalu? Strong winger who is greatg at starting sets with breaking runs

    • Just one outside the box have the Dazed Funster play centre and make Waqa a winga - attack only at least intially 

      Would could see it Dunster can set up his winger we get Blake getting some meters bring back kick returns and we don't upset the currently working defence.  ???

  • I really think we need to bring players through our grades and up into NRL, Also bringing players through or up relieves salary cap pressure a bit too.                       B Big no to Frenchie good for a game missing the next week and Okonbor mmmmm if the lowly bulldogs want him gone I dont want him........ I really think we need to persist with players coming, also bringing
