MICK'S PICK - 1st LAST YEAR - 4th
MICK'S COMMENTS - Parra fans are still shaking their heads after last years Preliminary Final. They fell at the 2nd last hurdle, but they can only go up from there. This year will prove to be the year that the Eels fans have been waiting for for a long long time. With the addition of Schifilliti for the Hooker role, and Kusto and Wagon from the Dragons, the ranks have been sufficiently bolstered to keep the team going right through the season. Dymock, Smith and McCracken will be hungry (as are all of them!) to seek revenge on the Bulldogs in Round 15
