    MR:- Refs for Rd 6

    The one week I probably could have handled home town Steve Clarke

    Teams v Bulldogs

    Eela, the only problem with that that is that when the ref calls surrender or dominant the tackler is allowed to lay in the tackle for a bit longer so actually tha play the ball is slower. It just frustates me that he must be one of the only fullbacks that can't break tackles by his strength or...

    Teams v Bulldogs

    I hate to sound really picky but Luke is still submitting too easily in a lot of his tackles on his kick returns. If he just ran at a line a littlle harder he could could become a very good first grade fullback and this is from one of his harshest critics. In saying that his positives are far...

    Teams v Bulldogs

    As someone else has mentioned in another thread, Finch and Blake will probably probably both at least keep their spots somewhere in the squad until Riddell returns. That is when the when the hard decision has to be made. It just depends on how bad Finch's form gets as to whether they change...

    Eric Grothe

    Eric had a bit of a shocker with his handling but his running from dummy half coming from our own end is so important to our team. I actually don't think anyone does this better in the NRL than Eric. This is the main reason I am stoked he resigned with us. He is also just a massive prescence on...

    Still worried about the go forward

    I am not sure of the stats but it appears to me that we are carrying Cannings a bit. However as someone mentioned earlier, hopefully he will be better if he goes back to the bench for Moimoi to start when he can come on against tiring defences. I normally would not question NRL players as I have...

    2008 team and signings

    I f we look at who is off contract I believe it is Wagon, Tahu, Cannings, T Smith, Green, Fa'aoso, Tsoulous and Mateo (I think). Someone may be able to confirm this Mateo is No 1 priority We will only keep one of Smith or Green IMO. I would prefer Smith at this point Tahu is gone The rest...

    Congrats to Kris Inu

    Well done to Krisnan. I find it amusing that he can make both teams of the week but gets dropped from the Parra team. We must have a pretty amazing team.;-) The future looks bright and I am very excited

    Teams v Panthers

    I think we should go horses for courses. IMO against the massive Panthers team this week we should go with 4 forwards on the bench with Green to drop off if Finch is fit. Mateo can cover most of the backline if needed and possibly hooker if PJ can not play 80 minutes. Fight fire with fire

    I didn't know Clinton was out. What is the injury

    It's Official, Eric and Joel signs..

    I believe Jarryd has stated his his favourite position is fullback and I don't think you can argue that his best postion is fullback like Reddy and and Burt. The thing about Flegg is that generally the players and coaching staff are not sure of their best positions. By first grade the coaches...

    It's Official, Eric and Joel signs..

    Yeah my point was that by far their best positions are all in the number 1 jersey and that I believe they all want to play that position (not sure about Joel's favourite but he is a fullback and fullback only IMHO). 3 into 1 just won't go

    It's Official, Eric and Joel signs..

    Apologies for late response to this post as I have been away from a computer. Just on this news, it seems we have 3 players on our books whose best position is fullback and who all want to play fullback (I believe) in Hayne, Reddy and Burt. From what I have seen I really don't want Burt or...

    Finch/Green/Smith

    I know this sounds like a bit of a cop out but I am happy for whichever Hages goes for as he would see them day in and day out. Give whomever he picks a period of time (say 2-5 weeks) and if they don't perform in comes the other one. This theory may not help cohesion in the short term but I...

    If Eels could sign ONE player for next year, who would u choose?

    Hodges needs Wayne Bennett to tuck him at night. The Hodges at a Sydney club experiment has already been proven to be a failure. You can have the Austrailian centres in your side but if you don't have decent forwards or halves they are not much use. Back on topic I would like in order...

    Shrek signed with Roosters

    Yeah I wasn't actually talking about getting rid of Finch. i was just saying that Finch could end up in reserve grade in Smith and Green click as a como. Did they ever play together in the grades and if so, how did they go? Suity, No one is writing off Finch after 3 games. We are just...

    My gut feeling tells me....

    Honestly Ben offers a lot to the side in defence and his leg drive has been quite good over the last couple of games. If grothe is outside him watch the tries flow.

    Shrek signed with Roosters

    We probably have to lose either Green or Smith as one will be playing reserve grade unless Finch is a dud

    Shrek signed with Roosters

    I thought grothe had resigned. Mateo, Tautai and either Green or Smith are priorities
