2015 NRL 9's | RANGITOTO | Eels, Manly, Knights, Dragons

[natheel]

Eels and Manly/Knights should advance

 

[Noname36]

Parra going hard for this. That'd have to be close to their full strength side baring a couple of forwards. Now they're all named you'd have to say Eels and Manly will go through but Knights and Dragons will cause them some headaches. Tough pool.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

This is the pool I'm most looking forward to (and not only because the Eels are in it), each club has put in strong squads.

some boppers in that eels side

 

[Lemon Squash]

I think the Eels side is missing speed on the edges and at least 1 or 2 'strike' outside backs.

I'm guessing Arthur's game plan is to try and win it through the middle which would be an interesting concept in this format.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

You don't think Robinson and Radradra are fast? And for big boys both Folau and Lavaka are quick enough.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Robinson will get into the clear and tackle himself if he manages not to drop it cold with a scoring opportunity in front of him

Hopoate is injured and will be replaced by American international Bureta Faraimo.

Doubt it.

They'll go hard in the first game, then take it easy from there I'd say.

I don't know. Naming your 2 starting halves I think they're taking it seriously.

Well we have named a few ball playing forwards

Sandow is out strike player in this format and radradra and Robinson are very quick

[Card Shark]

I'm tipping Knights & Eagles in this group.

We will find out soon....

 

[Twatface Magee]

Toughest pool I reckon.

 

[skeepe]

Lol. Good start by the Manly winger, whoever that is.

 

[Bovrick]

Haha great first try.

 

[Rhyno]
