Parra playing two locks
Adam Dykes has confirmed what what already obvious to those Parra fans closing watching the three opening encounters - Daniel Wagon may have number six on his back but he's playing a traditional lock role.
"It's a different style, the way we play. We're playing a halfback and two locks rather than the traditional style of a halback and five-eighth, but it wasn't too hard to get used to and I think it works well."
Dykes said he enjoying the halfback position becaue "I'm getting my hands on the ball a bit more and I'm enjoying directing the forwards around".
"The main thing I've had to learn at halfback was to not rush things. I get the ball earlier but I had to be patient and I learned that. Jason Taylor has helped me a lot".
