IF POINTS were on offer for preseason rugby league trials, Parramatta would be high and dry.
Parramatta finished 0-3 after the mixture of experience and much inexperience saw them thrashed 40-14 by the Sydney Roosters in Gosford on Saturday night.
But coach Daniel Anderson has the relaxed ``What, me worry?'' attitude.
The main thing is that, unlike several other clubs, Parramatta have completed their trials without injuries.
Nathan Hindmarsh has his first run for the year in Gosford and the returning Timana Tahu had his first hit-out since August.
Parramatta Stadium has been confirmed as the venue for the NRL season-opener against St George Illawarra on Friday week, March 12.
Paul Osborne has scarcely put a foot wrong since taking over as Eels chief executive officer, but may have put his foot in it by suggesting that the blockbuster could be transferred to ANZ Stadium.
Osborne didn't consult the Parramatta Stadium trust and the contract fine print.
``The cost was too great to move the game, since Parramatta Stadium were going to impose a $100,000 penalty on top of the hirer's fee we were already contracted to pay,'' Osborne said.
Parramatta are already winners in one area.
Sponsor Pirtek has agreed to extend its deal for a further three seasons with an option for three more.
And the district has another winner.
World champion discus thrower Dani Samuels exceeded her previous best at the Sydney Track Classic.
The Merrylands Miss made a mighty heave of 65.84m, ahead of the 65.44m she threw at the world titles in Berlin last August.
