Grand final baby - Our Parradise

[Coastalraider]

Agree. Considering we started the year with no idea of our optimal lineup, with Hall, Kalechi missing out on regular game time when I thought they would be our starters, Ayongo, Rhus both sharing time then getting released.. Aqualina gone, Theo, Hall and McGarry in…

It’s actually amazing we have hit the right time of year knowing EXACTLY what our GF lineup will be.

 

[Wombat]

No reason to change the lineup. Theo adds a lot coming on and we have genuine depth on the bench.

Agree and McGarry has been very good these last two games so he does deserve to start even though I'm a big fan of Faz.

Don't change a winning side.
Week off to recharge and work out any niggles

 

[Big Al]

Unchanged lineup?

Only Theo and Faz could make a case. But McGarry has been excellent for us and Beni when not on song in attack still wins a lot of defensive headers… and there’s also the talk that Theo isn’t fit enough to start…

Theo plays hard when comes on so that’s why gases easy but is lacking final product goals or assists. He had adelaide bamboozled but needs to net one

Beni will be very important against the press to carry the ball or win headers on long balls that go wide.

Faz on late to hold on for the victory plus McGarry also plays hard and struggles to go 90 which is by design with faz there

The Woolpack sounds good. You can stick the Leagues Club. Much prefer a good old-fashioned pub to an NRL faux casino.

Problem with Parra Leagues is there is only one bar area indoors and it’s limited for the kind of numbers we’ll bring. CCLC actually has bigger bar areas than Parra does, which surprised me when I discovered this last year upon visiting.

That’s because all they want is pokies, not enough money in booze. Leagues Clubs are nothing more than mini casinos these days.

Plenty of options around Parra way better than that hole. This is a real boost for the Parra economy.

No way. He was gassed in his time the other night.

He always takes one touch too many. Some times he gets away with it, often he doesn't. Still a left footed Hoole.

will there be a march to the stadium like there was on saturday.

 

[midfielder]

Wonders aloud what can be done about it...

Our academy team is playing on grand final day at 6:30 against Southerland Sharks... can the game be shifted to an earlier time slot so the academy team can make the grand final...

Was just about to ask this question, hopefully a good sized pub close to the stadium is available

 

[Michael]

Probably doesn’t have the stamina just yet to be fair, hopefully extended and works hard on that in pre season

Surprised the club isn't organising something tbh but maybe the issue is lack of suitable venues

 

[LFCMariners]

A mate is apparently organising tickets- same one whose wedding was on Saturday night. As he's away on his honeymoon, will send him a message on FB to confirm plans and where we're sitting/ standing.

City are favourites, but (official "blunders" aside), I definitely rate CCM going into this one. Been in better form over the past month or so, and had the more challenging tie to make the GF. On top of that, it'll be the first GF where we have the clear and obvious crowd advantage.

I thought he might have wrestled the spot off Beni after his Mudgee performance against the pub team when Beni was suspended. But he didn't back it up next game.

Looking forward to seeing him next season with a full anytime fitness pre season under his belt
