Eels.v Round One 2018 Team List Thread

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Semi is a far more destructive runner than hayne ... than anyone really ... i loved it when he popped up in the middle

Our edge forwards are capable of defending at centre and gunc aint a speedster but he is capable on the wing ... so i would be happy to put hayne on the wing and let him go for a roam occaiszionally

He was probably the most destructive runner I've seen in the last decade, the only reason I can't comment any further is because I didn't watch footy before then. He was better then Hayne, Inglis and Folau - not necessarily a better overall player but pure ball running he was the best. Just imagine he stayed and we kept that fat f**k who's wasting his career down in Canberra. Might as well just hang over the trophy before the season even started.

If we had 2 of him then most definitely

 

[hineyrulz]

A whole side of Semi’s could of worked.

He’s a winger, not a fullback FFS.

 

[Bazal]

Yes but with the coming shift towards 13 fullbacks he could easily be made into one....

 

[fanool]

And this is ALL assuming Will Smith doesn't take a spot which plenty of people smarter than me are suggesting he will. Who the f**k gets dropped then?

Scott I reckon.

So sorry you didn't get to see Eric Grothe Snr play. Debatable who was the best runner but fmd could that man shift some bodies on his way to the chalk. Against some pretty good sides too. A joy.

I am not sure of the regularity, but his ability to chase down a merkin in the clear was uncanny. Sitting in the crowd, if there was a line break you would look to see where Eric was. Then he came, running diagonally towards a winger heading down the touch line, able to bundle him into touch or cut him down before the line.

All this whilst being the laziest, most injury and error riddled player on the park.

Saw him do that in one of the early origins only to get a whack in the jaw from Chris Close for his troubles right at the line.

Lol the bloody Grasshopper, cheating QLD merkin.

Timestamped.

Mate I’ve been following the club for almost ten years. I’m pretty sure his name was pronounced Eric Grothe Jr

Thanks Pou, I'll keep it mind.

Had a few amazing highlights but for the most part he was a lazy underachiever.

Can't play guitar for shit either.

 

[strider]

Semi had sooooo many ways he could beat someone .... he was unique in my time watching league

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah he could run over the top of them or run around them. Or jump over them. Three ways.

 

[Bazal]

Yeah he could run over the top of them or run around them. Or jump over them. Three ways.

He could probably crawl through their legs too, if he wanted.

 

[strider]

Deceptive speed
Strong as
Good footwork
Skill to setup a teammate

Not often you get all of that in one player

He also had a few errors in him .... but he mostly made up for them
