While traveling it seems like I've missed some pretty ordinary Eels footy, by all reports. I saw the Bulldogs game before I left Sydney, and saw the Cowboys and Storm losses live on Sky Sports in the pub. (The time difference means that night games come on at 10:30am here!)
But looking at the table after some of this round's results, if we knock off the tigers, the Eels will end the week in equal seventh, albeit with a poor for and against. I find that an amazing positive at this stage of the season given our results and performances!
Coach Smith has finally started some chopping and changing this week, which again came as a pleasant surprise! Who knows whether it will work, but we had to try something. The starting six in the pack look as good as can be given the injuries, and here's hoping some fresh combinations in the backline get things going out there in attack.
Webster gives good service from dummy half, so it's really up to Witt and Thorman to show if they've got it this week. They started the year together in reggies, so here's hoping they have a combo and understanding going. I'll be keen to read reports, as this game is not coming in here on Sky.
Talk it up Eels fans, a win here keeps us in a (surprisingly) OK position, while a loss... well that would be another hurdle for the side to overcome.
