TLT Rnd8 vs Manly Friday 8pm

[hindy111]

I will be heartbroken if Gutho has to give it away early due to creaky knees. He deserves to go out on his terms.

It is a sad way to go but could be worse. Look at Tedesco. Still thinks he is elite.

 

[Chipmunk]

Our forwards got monstered and went missing in the second half, so we've dropped a wing, a half, and an interchange back. Makes sense.

 

[hindy111]

I don't get it.

What makes Sanders more ready to play now that 4 weeks ago? It's not great form in cup i'll tell you that.

It's a desperation move and again just shows the lack of planning in our squad from our football dept.

Were we waiting for him to sign with the Raiders before we gave him a first grade jersey? For mine, there is now LESS of a reason to blood him than there was 4 weeks ago.

If he was a valid option, then he should have been 6/7 since Moses went down and getting experience in the role so by now he was comfortable.

Agree. What did Blaize do in Darwin to make BA think he isn't ready? What did orienting do bar drop 1 ball.
Yet Lussick stuffs up 5x a game and is kept. And why is Blaize at 5/8 in NSW CUP. Pick his position and leave him there.

Imagine if he has a blinder!

Dropped a winger to go work on his game in NSW cup at centre ....

Asi won't play this week due to 11 day stand down

Carty dropped due to being injured..

The well is dry

 

[Noise]

Is Blaize a centre, fullback, 5/8 or a middle? No one at the eels has any clue.

Yep Blaize apparently is our future fullback so go play in CUO at 5/8

Asi is named in reserves. I don't get it.

 

[TheCrowe]

Carty injured??

Carty has been playing with busted rib cartilage for weeks.

 

[Avenger]

It’s nit picky but is Sanders now a 6 or 7? If he’s a 7 let him wear that jersey with the 7 on it.

Shaun Russell deserved to be dropped. He’s been awful. Lussick is lucky to be there the f**king sloth.

No issue with winger, he was ordinary and Sivo had to come back eventually.

Asi is playing NSW Cup at this stage.

Blaize seemed like a pointless pick on the bench.

 

[Gronk]

Here's what I think from what I heard. He was taken off Friday under Cat2. When he was off the NRL Dr said actually changed my mind Cat1.

So the club is apparently working through that confusion of applying HIA protocols.

If he gets clearance to play, he was dropped anyway.

 

[Eelogical]

Assuming we score tries, who's going to be our goal kicker?

 

[emjaycee]

Probably Sanders or Gutho.

 

[hineyrulz]

So Sander's is good enough now but not a month ago??

Shuffling the deck chairs on the Baldtanic.

Drops Morreti caus the dropped a ball.
Way to dent a kids confidence. Matterson should of been dropped

 

[the phantom menace]

So we've tried Talagi in the halves - who was then dropped.
We've tried Asi again - who being named in Cup appears to have been dropped.

And now it's time to debut Sanders into this hot mess of an under-performing squad...? I guess since he's likely signing with Canberra it not longer matters if this messes up his career.

 

[the phantom menace]

Shame Cartwright is injured - probably came back to early tbh... But good to see Hands and Makatoa both named on the bench.

Having Hands should change things up a bit - assuming Lussick gets hauled off at the 30min mark as he clearly needs to be. Maka will rip in and have more of a go than Matterson in the middle rotation, and not fussed at all that Moretti has been dropped to find some form and rack up some minutes in Cup.

I'd expect Sanders to play more of the traditional 7 role, given Gutho's quote about him "doing what halfbacks do, controlling". Which means Dylan in his usual 6 role, just that BA doesn't change the numbers because doesn't want to backtrack on previous statements re Brown being 7 material.

Yeah in the carpark of the brookie hotel.

Reg and Jnr will whack Princess Aloiai and Scumbag Lodge to freshwater.
