2005 Eels tryscorers to date

[forward pass]

Interesting to see Moro has scored 9 tries so far - great strike rate for a 2nd rower. And I wonder how many Benny would have scored if he had played all year???

Ben Smith 10
Glenn Morrison 9
Dean Widders 8
Luke Burt 6
Wade McKinnon6
John Morris 5
PJ Marsh 5
Matthew Petersen5
Tim Smith 5

Total 99

 

[MarkInTheStands]

So apart from Henderson, everyone that has played first grade has scored ??



Must remember to put some cash on Joel.

 

[fish eel]

also keep in mind that Tahu has missed all our biggest wins, cowboys, knights and rabbits. I'm sure he would have bagged plenty in those matches.

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

What side has scored the most tries?

 

[Hurriflatch]

Michael Vella hasn't scored in 1st grade he got one in reggies but never scored in the top grade this year.

also Jack Afamsaga "played" against Brisbane but didn't score

What side has scored the most tries?

Storm have scored 101. Interestingly Parra and Broncos are both on 99 !!

Dragons 98 Wests and cowboys 95

Ben smith has got a pretty good strike rate, he'd proably be ahead of grothe had he started the season in first grade.

Eric Grothe jr 12
Ben Smith 10

Thats a pretty lethal and destructive combination these 2 guys have got going!

 

[bartman]

So who's going to score our 100th try this week?

I think Riddell is due...

 

[Twizzle]

go Benny

10 tries

 

[Stagger eel]

it would be nice if Joel put one over on Friday night.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

I still think Brian Smith is going to pull one out of the hat and play Wade Mckinnon at fullback

I thought about that yesterday but after the publicity that's been shown for Reddy in the mainstream media there won't be any turning back, he'll play.

 

[Hellsy]

Yup. THereis no way they can turn back on it now!

No way would BS ever do that to a player. He likes not naming them and putting them in - but not the other way around. (a debutant I am talking about).

 

[Kornstar]

With all the media, i would really feel for Joel if he doesn't get a run!

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Yeah but maybe he has already told Joel that he wasnt gonna get a run?!?!, i dunno its impossible to delve into a brilliant coaches mind

 

[Hurriflatch]

AS was said by Colonel in another thread

If Brian was going to do something like that he would've named McKinnon but also intended to play Reddy, there is no way he would've done it the other way around.

The only way McKinnon would've played but not named would be if the team had looked something like

1. Luke Burt
2. Matt Petersen
3. Ben Smith
4. Timana Tahu
5. Eric Grothe

but ran out as
18. Wade McKinnon
1. Luke Burt
3. Ben Smith
4. Timana Tahu
5. Eric Grothe


Unless something unexpected happens between now and Friday Joel Reddy is a 561% chance of playing.

That would be awfully embarrassing for Joel having to do media knowing he wasn't playing. I doubt if any coach would do that.

BS made no attempt to shield Tim Smith earlier this year knowing he would get tons of media. He will play and he will be tested !!

It has been rare for him to do that tho.

but there is no way Joel won't play unless (not that I want it to happen) he gets forced out due to injury at training.
