Everyone is forgetting that all it takes to bring the Eels to their knees is for Hayne to go down which he has proven in recent times he is very capable of doing.

who has forgotten that?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I admit it, I forgot. Sorry guys, will take the wrap for this one.

 

[natheel]

Has Brendan santi played any of the trials for parra? Is he a chance of playing? Still filthy we lost him

He will break into the FG side later. We have some others who have stepped up in the off season before him. He played in our trial v tigers and then Wenty trials

Interested to see how he goes

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Looking forward to the first game, thinking of heading out to the ground. Question for eels fans which stand is normally the away section? Can't seem to find any info on ticket master

The Warriors with their Tomkins/Johnson combination have more than earned this tip. Corey Normans uselessness to be put into stark reality for the Eels.

Warriors by 12.

I don't get the Norman hate. Under Arthur he could become better
Last year he was in a position he hated obviously he isn't going to set the world on fire. In 2012 he did well at five eight. He will be good for us.

 

[natheel]

Warriors will believe their own hype. The Tomkins and Johnson factor worries me but we have stepped up our defence and discipline so I think we can win this especially with the fans behind us

Eels by 8

I'm hoping with Hoppa and Norman there to take pressure off will help us if Hayne does go down but hayne coming off the back of a great World Cup like he did for Fiji in 08 I think he will be pumped for a big year

Don't worry, you soon will. Not even Bennett or Bellamy could turn that guy into a decent five eighth. On top of that, he's too full of himself which promotes bad feelings in the squad, which for the Eels coming off of back to back spoons is the last thing you guys need.

My predisposition to believing Norman to be useless stands here. If Hoppa can carry the team on his own than good on him. But he hasn't played footy in over a year. I don't expect him to explode from the moment of kickoff in round one. He will be rusty.

Over the past two years Norman has had more LBAs and TAs than the rest of our team put together. Yours too.

 

[Diesel]

Warriors based on having a more settled off-season than last year

lucky spoons arent won in march then.

troll away, mister bitter..

 

[natheel]

We shall see in terms of Norman maybe a change will suit him and actually playing in his preferred position

 

[Parra! *Clap Clap Clap*]

Lots of people are writing off Parra already. Makes me even more confident of an upset here.

Not BM. Not BM at all. I'm right with you and in my books it won't be an upset.

GG Eels, schooners at 4 o clock.

It seems like you know what you're talking about.

Eels by 30. Oh no, that was last year.

 

[shiznit]

The Warriors SHOULD win handily....

But the Warriors find it tough to win the games they are supposed to win...

I'm hoping the Eels can catch them cold like last season.
