Penrith second-rower Trent Waterhouse is in slight doubt to play Parramatta tomorrow, due to a knee injury. The Eels have Jeff Robson likely to make his return from a hamstring injury.
Could this be the start of 2009-like revival? And just maybe it will be that man, Jarryd Hayne, who re-ignites the Eels, but this time it could be from the five-eighth position after he led Parramatta to a comfortable 22 to six win from that position
So first up this is a blog about next year. However, I'm starting to wonder with our roster whether we might not be suited by a lock-style five-eighth.
Next year, I'm sure we'll seek to use Sandow as a dominant half back and given the role that Ja
It would probably be unfair to replace Robson or McGuire on one poor performance, but if Tommy had a blinder on the weekend after his nice match last week, I would think Kearney has to give Humble some thought.
I've always liked Josh McCrone but he has gone through that period all young halves go through, where they don't always take the right option. However, he's clearly come through that and given that Canberras' long term halves combination will be Camp

So given it's pretty obvious we're not going to see Jarryd at six anytime soon, I keep thinking about what Parramatta needs to do to accomodate a fullback, who plays like a five-eighth. My feel is we miss that traditional fullback, who plays primaril
I have a love-hate relationship with Ricky Stuart.
On one-hand I think he is the greatest tactician in Rugby League, on the other hand I think he is an arrogant dick he lets his ego get in the way of greater success.
Parramatta has now locked up the services of another of its most talented Under 20 players with Patrick O’Hanlon agreeing to stay with the club for a further two years. O’Hanlon’s signature joins that of exciting fullback and playmaker Marmin Barba
Especially after tonight's game watching him as a backrower, I would dearly love to see the T-Rex back in Blue and Gold. I've always thought he would eventually be a rep-quality backrower and tonight only affirmed that opinion.
"Paulo is a shadow of what he once was and is getting worse each year. He looks like he hates the collision these days. Sadly that is what he would display if kept around as a leader for our pack for others to follow. Sam T already seems to follow in…"
