Reynolds out for Dogs
Paulo out for Eels

Both big losses

Eels in a close one

 

[T.S Quint]

Reynold out means Dogs suddenly become a better team.
Paulo is a huge loss for us though. Pauli Pauli may be his replacement. Hoping it's not Terepo.

 

[ek999]

Hard to gauge Parra's form against Manly, Manly were probably the worst performing team of the round and their forward pack is simply shit.

But losing Reynolds will bring in Mbye making a spine of Morris who is still getting used to fullback and is new to the club, Mbye playing his 10th first grade game, Hokko still coming back from surgery and Lichaa playing his 17th first grade game and is new to the club.

If Parra are going to be a top 8 team this year they should probably win this but I think Graham will put in a man of the match performance to get us home

 

[Incorrect]

I expect BA to name the same 19 players he named last week, with the exception of Junior Paulo. Wicks or Pauli will be # 17, the other one will be 18th man. I'm hoping Pauli can get his head switched on this year and start to utilise his size and his potential.

 

[Rhyno]

Eels by 10

 

[natheel]

Sounds like Wicks will make his Eels debut

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Eels never seem to play well at ANZ,Doggies could rebound and win this by 30+ and it wouldn't surprise

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Was going to say Eels by 10, but with Paulo out, Eels by 2. Wait, with Reynolds out, Dogs by 20.

 

[ek999]

Junior Paulo named for Parra - good to see optimism isn't dead

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Junior Paulo named for Parra - good to see optimism isn't dead

Harshly charged, but there is no way he gets off totally.

 

[kia ora storm]

Parra by 10...

 

[perverse]

Sounds like Wicks will make his Eels debut

Did he play reserve grade last week? If so, how did he go?

 

[Twizzle]

Did he play reserve grade last week? If so, how did he go?

played for Wenty and although Wenty were shit, Wicks aimed up pretty well although seemed a bit rusty

surprised to see him this early, although JPs injury has helped.

 

[Mr Chook]

Reynolds is that much of a liability the Dogs actually look a stronger side without him. That said, I still feel Parra will get home in a high scoring affair.
Eels by 8.

 

[chrisD]

Would it not make sense to try to partner one of Tolman/Graham with one of Kasiano/Klemmer as much as possible? Complementary styles.

MOFFO SAID, PARRANOMATER DOGGIES BI 30+:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

 

[Johnnie Red]

Should be a cracking game if the dogs can have some discipline and variety in attack. Otherwise the eels will give us a touch up.

I'm not sure if missing Reynolds will be a good or bad thing for the dogs....of late his brain explosions have far out weighed the positives he brings to the side.
