Round 26 vs Bunnies - Team List Thread

[Gary Gutful]

Eels hungry but still incapable of winning. Bunnies by 12.

Good man.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It just means if we win then it will be with the odds stacked against us. Which should be good for their confidence.

Yeah but the probably don't know about the curse, so it won't affect their confidence afterwards. And if we tell them it might become self-fulfilling.

They might not know but if they overcome a 28-3 penalty count they'll feel unstoppable.

3 penalties would be unreal.

 

[Bazal]

3 penalties? That's 50% more than last week! We dream of days like that

We'll only get them cos our five best players get decapitated. Two of them will be penalised for milking.

Lol at resting senior players with a top 4 spot on the line....Hagan-esque garbage.

Beau Scott will play if fit. He's our most experienced footballer and will be a huge in for the finals campaign. We can cover Bevan just as well with our backline if he goes down mid-game again, Scott will be on the bench with two props and Kenny Edwards for the finals (if fit and barring injuries to other players, obviously).

Cant agrue with this. Assuming Vave and Mannah start. Matagi, Alvaro, Scott and Edwards on the bench can cover injuries.
If a centre or winger is injured Man'u to the centres and Scott or Edwards out wide. If the fullback goes down Corey to fullback and Kenny or Scott to 5-8. Hooker goes down Brown to hooker.
None are ideal but we have cover and it allows us to finish tight games with Mannah, Brown, Man'u, Scott and Tepia. That is a hard hitting pack.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

So, that's pretty much our finals team, with Smith just dropping out when French comes back?

Will Terepo make the cut if he comes back? At the expense of Vave?

If you can follow this, you are a true Eels fan

 

[TheParraboy]

at this juncture, we have at least 2 or up to 5 games left to be played this year

then the world cup, then the ashes...

Well after Bangladesh, I suppose a few of our players might be in line for a call up

NRL TEAM LISTS ROUND 26, NEWS, LATE MAIL — Parramatta are set to welcome Beau Scott and Kaysa Pritchard back from what were originally feared to be season-ending injuries against the Rabbitohs on Friday night.
Both players have been named on the Eels extended bench as the club pushes for a top four finish, and coach Brad Arthur says the pair are a good chance of getting game time this week for the first time since June.

“We’ll get through training today and if everything goes to plan, we should get some time into them,” Arthur said before Thursday’s captain’s run.

Late mail: Beau Scott and Kaysa Pritchard are looking good to return for Parramatta. David Gower would be the man to drop out for Scott, while including Pritchard would require Brad Arthur to shake up his prop rotation.

Then what?

 

[Bazal]

Then what?

I think there's a croquet tournament happening up the road from my place.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Awesome. You bring the croquet supporters wear and sunscreen and I'll bring the cocaine and hookers.
