[Gee]

How did Paea hold his spot. Hagan will be telling parra to run at him all day. Big mistake having him playing

[lonegull]

a little surprising i thought we might have had a new 5/8th, hilder to lock or bench but with swain back this week, gee josh graham is unlucky i thought he could of held his spot

I have a strong feeling that Matty Petersen will replace him in the 17 come game day.

[TITAN FOREVER]

I have a strong feeling that Matty Petersen will replace him in the 17 come game day.

Yeah I get that feeling too!

Im looking forward to watching this game on bigpond. Parra will be well up for it to seek revenge for the pre season loss to the Titans. I expect this to be a very close game but hopefully Parra can just pull off the win

[Coaster]

I heard in there last game the sledgeing was right up there with the worst you can do.

In perticular Peterson copped plenty, about his girlfriend, and what they would do to her while he was playing for Ipswich.

There wont be any loved lost in this one, with Smith coming back to his home town, and being in the wrong side.

[Darren Lockyer]

There will be 17000 + people with a chance to return the favour .

This looks like being a fight for a place in the 8.
Should definitely be a tough game.

I too was hoping to see Petersen starting.
Paea's form is improving, but Petersen is already there.

[patskE]

man... i would of put money on there would of been a change in the backline for sure...
goto give it to carty
he is really giving em a go...
paea cant score, n isnt really that good in reading the play
put peterson in
n hilder :S still 5/8... come on man, time for a change

[k-unit]

IMO, its a shame that Jake Webster is on the wing. His talents will be wasted there :o

Yeah...I'll be watching Swain a bit closer this weekend, I don't think I've seen him beat a player in attack and that is strange for a lock.

I'm with you Steve, Paea is another player that's not beating players in attack...I doubt his strength
