Eels v Broncos R21 Team List Thread

[The Colonel]

I guess BA has Hoff as his first choice winger, with Auva'a as backup, kind of odd if you ask me, we could use Auva'as size.

I was under the impression that Hoff wasn't going to be good to go this week, which would explain BA naming Auva'a in the extended bench, in case Hoff doesn't make game day.

Or it could have something to do with the fact that Hoff has played on the wing whereas Auva'a has played predominantly as a centre and only trained on the wing in the off season. He also doesn't turn well and would be suspect under the high ball.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If Auva'a plays wing the Bronco's would continually target him with either bombs or grubbers behind him. Would much rather Hoffman.

Yeah it's pros and cons. Auva'a provides better go forward. Hoffman is safer against kicks.

 

[Kornstar]

Good work Korny. About time someone made a thread about this.

I was wondering where this thread was.

I clearly lost the plot cause I couldn't find this thread for some reason......

Why didn't you just make a thread asking where the hell is the team-list thread?

 

[ParraSteve]

Hoffman can also play fullback which helps if we needed it.

 

[Kornstar]

I figured it out. I have the thread starter on ignore, hence why I couldn't see it.

 

[Gary Gutful]

That can't be it. Why would anyone have Bart on ignore?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Why ignore merkins when you can just run around constantly saying you did?

 

[Kornstar]

That can't be it. Why would anyone have Bart on ignore?

Because I have no self control and argue with them so it is just easier that way!

 

[phantom eel]

Lol!

Arguing with merkins only becomes a problem when you consistently lose...

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol yep Bart you absolute winner.

 

[Gronk]

Yeah it's pros and cons. Auva'a provides better go forward. Hoffman is safer against kicks.

Boyd is back this week, so defending against his cut-out passes on the left edge will be crucial.

good point, Hoffman it is.

 

[84 Baby]

No Bart's the loser. Phantoms the winner

 

[hybrideel]

Let's hope Boyd doesn't do a JT on his first game back from injury and tear us a new one. What is it with these merkins coming back against us

I'm expecting Andrew Johns to be named for the Knights when we play them in a few weeks... Inglis will probably play in Round 26 too...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And Sam Burgess

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Every f**ker's out to get us!

 

[hineyrulz]

Every f**ker's out to get us!

SICK OF ALL THE f**kING MERKINS!!!!
