2024 Pacific Championships - Eel Watch

[TheParraboy]

I’d rather DCE in. Watch Moses get injured.

We got dis

 

[King-Gutho94]

This was the side that got hammered 30-0 last year.

Tedesco, Staggs, Holmes, Munster, DCE, Haas, Tino, Hynes & Flegler are missing from the debacle.

A fair chunk are injured but a bit of changeover

Good Tonga side

Notable absentee. Injured or overlooked ?

 

[eels_fan]

Even less likely if he doesn’t play at all.

outside of an ACL or Achilles injury, if he was unlucky enough to cop another injury it wouldnt interrupt his start to 2025. The experience and benefit gained from being the national teams halfback and general cannot be understated.

i'd say overlooked. It would be hard to argue that he outplayed any of the outside backs chosen in their squad this year.

Yeah agree. Apparently Dylan is unavailable for NZ because of injury picked up in Spoonbowl.

Alomoti has gone past him in just 1 season with the riff...

Let's hope he can improve in 25

Almost certain that Will missed the last 15 minutes or so of Spoonbowl with injury as well as Asi and Brown...

Burton is overated has a kick that's all not a ball player like Dearden..

Picking Burton over DCE is laughable.
I don't give a shit about Burton's utility value, which is avarage at best.
Plenty of players there to cover for any type of injury or whatever.

 

[JokerEel]

Sivo!


Somehow Waqa is in... Must be running low on players

 

[T.S Quint]

Whre the hell has Kevin Naiqama been playing?
I though he must have retired years ago.

He did retire probably playing in the backyard hence no logo

 

[T.S Quint]

"f**k, we're one player short. Who can we get?"

"Sir, Kevin Naiqama is on the phone. He's asking about if he left a pair of shoes here a few years ago."

"Get him in the team!"

 

[Gronk]

Michael Jennings ?

 

[Happy MEel]

How the f**k is Hudson Young picked in the team?

 

[Chipmunk]

There was talk the Fijians were considering picking The Plane...you can see why with that squad that has been selected.
