Good stuff. Mossop's try @ 3:57

 

[Tommy Coco]

So we can see lee mossop play another 2 times in the next fortnight. 5am this sat, euro sport Wigan v widnes ( I believe hock can't play this match) & the following Saturday again 5am euro sport, England v exiles ( this time hock just wasn't picked)

Hock was in the train on squad. I think his lack of game time over the past 4 weeks has counted against him.

Should be a quality match considering that the Exiles 27 man squad includes former Eel Manese Manuf**koa. :sarcasm:

 

[bartman]

Plus other ex-Eels Zeb Taia, Blake Green, Pat Richards, Brett Hodgson, Kylie Leuluai, Justin Poore
Jake Webster, Michael Witt, and Heath L'Estrange....

 

[Eels Dude]

Someone must have thought the team was the ex-eels as opposed to the exiles.

You would have to say that if this is the quality of ex Australian player currently playing in the UK Super League that Reni Maitua will command top dollar over there. In fact I would go as far to say that Like Kelly and even Matt Ryan would pick up some decent coin as well. Is Tim Smith not in this team??

 

[Gronk]

I watched the Wigan v Widnes match over the WE.

Mossop played 60 mins. Did nothin.

Has the potential. Is built like Lussick. Needs a good off season IMHO.

Really? Not a single tackle or a single hit up?

Didnt watch the game but he did make 138m (the most of any forward in both sides) and 21 tackles. Not a bad effort. Maybe he is more a workhorse then a flashy type of player.

[Poupou Escobar]

As long as he can win the ruck (attack and defence) I'm not too bothered how many metres he makes.

He has good height, and I'm no physicist but that should give him leverage in the wrestle. Is he much of an offloader? Or do we still think that's just a matter of tactics?

They don't wrestle much in ESL, so it will be a learning curve for him.

You will see from the highlights that he received second pass in a cut out move heading wide, so Wigan must have confidence in his hands and ability to not f**k it up.

I wouldn't blame anyone for having eelrectile dysfunction at this point.

As for Will Hopoate, he can't get here soon enough. It will be interesting seeing where he ends up playing, given our dire need of reliable wingers but he will likely star in any backline position.

PS Stagger, sorry about the wrong mail! I told the bloke about Peachy when it broke on Monday and he was stunned. Penrith must have upped the offer from Cronulla.

 

[hineyrulz]

It won't matter how good he goes for us unless he gets some help. Look at Hayne the last 3 seasons.

 

[Gary Gutful]

He obviously didn't learn to speak from his old man.

Very impressive character.

mate, you'd be surprised how many times that happens just ask Sandow..

While that's true, I couldn't help but pickup that things were "challenging" and he needed to "be prepared" "physically" and "mentally".

Did I mention physically mentally challenged?

Great video, great bloke with a great attitude. I just hope we can re-sign him after his two years here.
