in the last 5-10 years theyve won the minor premiership at least twice and made the gf twice and a few prelim finals. If theyve been **** then so have we tbhThey're looking good for next year alright.
But we said the same about the Cowboys this year - we all thought they would win the Premiership with their line-up.
Honestly, I think they are just on this massive roll, that will disintegrate next year. The Eels were **** all year, have been **** for the last 5-10 years... and I don't believe they will be ready to cause an impact like the Storm have the last 4 years.
Coaches will figure out their style of play next year, shut them down - and Parramatta will be returning to that same hole they were in earlier in the year.
At least this would be my dream situation lol
i agree mate. teams will figure them out.. they're style of football (well at least what they did against us) was very Warriors 02' style. and how long did that last? 1 or 2 years and thats it.They're looking good for next year alright.

I think there are some big holes here that may come out and be exploited. Jeff Robson is a fill in player and when coaches go back and look at his play they will nullify him and Mortimer. Mortimer reminds me of Pearce who had a stellar season 2 years ago and fell away badly this year with all that expectation he went missing. Next year under pressure and expectation will be his big acid test.Should easily be a top 4 team next year
1. Jarryd Hayne*
2. Luke Burt
3. Krisnan Inu*
4. Timinah Tahu*
5. Eric Grothe
6. Daniel Mortimer*
7. Jeff Robson
8. Nathan Cayless [C]*
9. Matthew Keating
10. Justin Poore*
11. Nathan Hindmarsh*
12. Ben Smith
13. Feleti Mateo*
Interchange:
14. Kevin Kingston
15. Fuifui Moimoi*
16. Shane Shackleton
17. Tim Mannah
18. Joel Reddy
19. Todd Lowrie
20. Kris Keating
tbh, only thing lacking is a dominant halfback, but if the rest are doing their job all he has to do is continue playing like he is
- Filled with star players
- Kevin Kingston/ Mathew Keating are 2 very good hookers.
- Tim Mannah is a future SOO prop (add to their already impressive pack)
- Best backline in the comp (when in form)
- Plenty of youth
- Have got experience with Cayless, Hindy, Burt, Tahu

2010 is going to be a blockbuster year, with Parra, Dogs and St. Merge (the 3 most supported clubs in Sydney) all looking to have big years.
When these 3 clubs are going good, league wins.
Watch for Gallop next year to rattle off more figures about how crowds are up by 1.456%
Well imagine Parra playing like they are now, us playing like we did in 2002, the Dragons playing like the they did in 1999 and you'd have a pretty interesting competitionOn paper they look like they'll be a massive force and their team will be even better than this years but things don't always work out that way.
Look at us in 2005. Had one of the best teams on paper you could think of going into the season and it all fell apart very easily.
But if they stay injury free they would be very hard to beat. If they keep playing like this (which surely they can't) then nobody will beat that team.
Maybe not that **** lolin the last 5-10 years theyve won the minor premiership at least twice and made the gf twice and a few prelim finals. If theyve been **** then so have we tbh
