    Parramatta

    Just wanted to congratulate Parramatta on their first season in Div 1. The game yesterday was one of the toughest I've played in - fair to say I'm pretty sore today. When we had got out to a 5 goal lead early in the 3rd after Parra lead by 4 goals in the first, most teams would have packed it in, but they kept coming all day. A credit to their coaches and leaders. Most of their squad is quite young and the club look to have a bright future ahead.
    In every game there is going to be a cross-road, and when you get to that cross-road you either step up, or you step down!

      What's the ethnic makeup of the Goannas these days? Or did they all go to Auburn? Gawd, wonder where The Family will end up bext season

          Penrith did very well too. It was also their first season in Div 1 and I think probably the highest grade that club has ever played.

          Bear in mind that Parramatta is a former Premier Division club, having won a flag in that grade in the early 90s.

              Penrith have had a brilliant year and the sky could be the limit for them.......IF they were assisted properly.

              If the AFL could find 10% a year of Israel Folau's contract to fund development in the Penrith District they'd get a much better return I feel.

                  I think what it shows is there's not a huge amount of difference between the top end of Div 2 and Div 1, given that both Parra and Penrith made the finals this year, and Southern Power made the GF last year after winning Div 2 the year before. To be honest, you could make a strong case that the Penrith of 2011 was actually a stronger side too.

                  UTS also deserve some praise in winning two tough finals so far. I think they're a sneaky chance to knock off the Power as well.
