Zeb free to play against Manly

[eels_fan]

Zeb Taia copped a Grade One striking charge - 93 points - and since he's only just hit first grade, he wont be suspended if he takes the early guilty.

Who we playing in first division?
I think with Riddell out he might be squeezed out

sucks to be josh perry!

 

[JessEel]

whoops sorry i started another thread about this...

 

[strider]

considering he used his knee on someone (I know not that forcefully, but still), I reckon josh should go buy himself a lottery ticket - its his lucky day - only 125 base points for that (1 week)

 

[eloquentEEL]

shouldn't he get a 50% loading for the 2nd one if he's found guilty of the 1st one... damn lucky if he gets away with only a couple of weeks

it's interesting to see what Smithy does..

I think Riddell will slot straight in and Stringer will come in to replace Tsolous with Morris on the bench.

How Does Zeb handle the front row?

I'd be tempted to see Chad or Zeb play 20 mins in the front row instead of dropping zeb.

he's played front row for a few years in flegg, I'm sure he can handle himself well.

god I hope Zeb is still in the team when we play the bulldogs. If he scores a try and the announcer says his name it will be RIOT time :lol:

If Zeb is going to be named as 21st man, then maybe we should just fight it?

Thats a good point.

Stupid question from me....With our extended bench, do the players who miss out on the bench play in Reggies or do they just watch on.

I think Vella was on the extended bench last week and didn't play in Reggies.
Seems a bit of a waste to name an extended bench, or is there a reason for it?

 

[Hellsy]

Most of the time they miss out

All part of the super coach's mind games.

Maybe, but sometimes players are named not fully fit as well, and you have to take an 18th man into the game in case someone gets injured in warmups

hehe...yes...'sometimes'

for some reason i get the impression that Stringer's back is playing up... Vella was in full gear before the match on Friday night and I get the feeling that the final decision on who was playing wasn't made until just before they ran out. could also explain why Stringer hasn't been in the best form lately?

Could possible be eE

noticed that too re vella. you could be onto something.

 

[eloquentEEL]

just pure speculation of course, but it was very strange that Vella was in the full playing strip if he definitely wasn't going to play
