Team list thread - vs Dogs Rnd 12

[Gronk]

I reckon Nathan Cayless is a vastly under-rated player.

He was never the best in the world at his position, but he was skilful, and a good leader.

He, and Hindy, carried this team for years.

Careful, there are a rowdy gang of Cayless haters in these parts.

I feel like, under the very fast ruck rules of 2001, he might've been the best forward in the world at the time. But in later years he was a bit undersized for the slower game. He had everything else, including footwork, ball skills and a big motor. He'd probably go pretty well today. I think Nathan Brown is similar.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He was ok but just a bit ploddy.

I reckon you're right.

I think Nathan Cayless had more skill than Nathan Brown, but Brown has more aggression, and perhaps even a better workrate.

Still - Cayless captained his country to a World Cup. Not many people can lay claim to that feat.

Which one had the better career? One played double the NRL games and four times the number of rep games. The other won a premiership, like Daniel Mortimer.

By time Jason was at his best Nathan was a plodder. Yeah good leader but an average prope. Jason at his peak was one of best in game.

I reckon both hung around a few yrs to long. Hindmarsh last few years was like watching an old lady take a hit up. He was done

He had a pretty handy offload too. Didn't use it often but when he did, it stuck. not like 25% Mateo.

Nrown is still young enough. He has shown glimpses of developing a decent offload. Give him time.

Yep, can't disagree with that.

Don't get me wrong - I am a big, big fan of Browny.

 

[Gary Gutful]

TBH I’m surprised they haven’t pointed out that of our starting line up, the only player who hasn’t been associated with another club is Drown, a kiwi.
Except Gus tells me the only other team Sivo has played with is Gundagai

They used to call him the Dog on the Kava Box.

I bet he'd swap it in a heatbeat for a premiership.

Like Hindy, he was the ultimate product of the B.Smith years. Incredibly capable and occassionally brilliant, but nervous of failure which showed in his lack of leadership during difficult times.

I actually think the opposite. He was a player who was good and sometimes better than good and was held in high regard however he always failed us in the big games.

I actually really liked him and consider him a legend of the Eels but my reasoning for that is that he was a club man of the highest order and served us better than most ever had, especially over some of the periods we had after Smith left us but was never on the same level as Hindmarsh imo.

Isnt he now an assistant coach at The Chooks. I ask because I havent seen him or heard him mentioned this year?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Everyone's an assistant coach at the Chooks.

By time Jason was at his best Nathan was a plodder. Yeah good leader but an average prope. Jason at his peak was one of best in game.

If that was the case he would've played more than 110 NRL games. I think he was lucky to play in some very good teams so he never had the opportunity to look crap

Yeah, fair call.

It's early days, but I'm impressed with Gutherson 's leadership.

He's certainly an Eels legend!

You could always count on Caylo to drop a ball when the game was in the balance........
