And Player #698 is??

[Stagger eel]

Has Etu been scratched?

Etu is now at $3.00

Taulima would have drifted right in with the news of Hayne being axed.

Tautai $1.01

Galuvao $1.25

Oake and Keating for player #700 $1.01

given his odds and the date of the post I would say that C was on the money....

 

[Hurriflatch]

Taulima Tautai - #698
Matt Keating - #699
Brendan Oake - #700
Joe Galuvao - #701

Do we now open a market for #702-705

20 year old Taulima Tautai will become the 698th player to wear the Blue and Gold jersey when he makes his first grade debut for the Pirtek Parramatta Eels against the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium on Saturday.

Tautai has been named alongside Krisnan Inu in the centres for the Eels Telstra Premiership season opener, which kicks off at 5.30pm.

Also making their first appearance for the Eels in the top grade are interchange players Joe Galuvao (no. 699), Matthew Keating (no. 700), and Brendan Oake (no. 701).

“If anything the selections reflect the strength of our top 25,” head coach Michael Hagan said.

“All four players called upon to make their debuts have had excellent pre-seasons and all have shown solid trial form.

“Taulima was one of our best against the Panthers in Albury while Joe, Matt and Brendan have all played strongly in two trials.

“It’s also a good result for Parramatta’s development programs, with Taulima, Matt and Brendan all coming through our junior and lower grade ranks and into the NRL.”

In other good news for the Eels, international second rower Nathan Hindmarsh has fully recovered from knee surgery and will take his place in the starting line up.

Saturday’s match kicks off at 5.30pm at ANZ Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park, and follows the Toyota Cup clash between the Eels and Bulldogs at 3pm.

Hey Stagger when can I expect your betting agency to pay up on the player #698 dividend.

I had $10 on him @ $18.00

So I will give you your $20 and expect $180 in small used bills.

unfortunately your bet has become null and void ;-)

Joe Galuvao (no. 699), Matthew Keating (no. 700), and Brendan Oake (no. 701).

wouldnt what number they are depend on the order they are brought on by Hagan?

I would have thought so too but it looks like it'll be alphabetical order for the bench.

Tommy only did that because he needed someone fresh at all times for an emergency run down the shops for a packet of androtops!!
