Eagles - Eels Quick post match analysis

[Avenger]

Morgan isnt up to first grade yet-Id replace him with Rory brien who would do a better job IMO. Lassallo was quiet but deserves to stay there from past games.
Reni in for Webb.When Poore's back then maybe allgood or Lassalo will be looked at.
For me our biggest weakness at the moment is Atkins and Burt.There jsut not strong enough for first grade.When Burt races up took the quick tap and only made 2mtrs the thought his time is up crossed my mind for the first time in years.I think we need to sign 2 more backs.New wingers

That boy Jacob Gaggin will be our long term replacement for Burt. We don't need another winger.

 

[Far Canal]

I actually thought Atkins had a decent game.

You cant fault the effort from the boys but they need to learn to play smart football when in the lead.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Burt should not be the goalkicker next year. Sandow should.

Webb was awful, Reni to return next week.

I wouldn't re-sign Casey, would rather Humble for 2012.

I don't like Atkins. He is way too slow and piss weak. Grothe would have scored a few out wide tonight.

Morgan needs to bulk up but it wont matter as Esi Tonga will take his place.

Robson had his usual rocks and diamonds game.

I thought Mannah was quiet

Ben Smith should always start.

Horo was awesome.

Hayne should have shown more urgency for that last try. He shits me with some of his laziness.

Agree regarding Hayne and last try to Eagles, this is why he is far from the number 1 fullback in the country, I hate to say it but I think he s attitude stinks at times!

 

[ParraSteve]

Disappointed like all but I'm proud after that effort, we really dug in there and in the last 2 games we've given the 2 favorites a run for their money

 

[hindy111]

Atkins is safe-The end.He is so freaking slow of the mark and has no strength-Burt is smart but without grothe doing those big charges his lack of dummy half charges stands out more.
This year our options are realy limited.Maybe Chris Hicks if he is playing well or even walker

Let's pick on his one or two deficiancies, and ignore all his positives shall we?

You Knob. :roll:

[Springs]

If McGuire makes the tackle on Cherry-Evans we win the game.

And can someone tell Hayne that no harm will come from looking at where you're passing.

 

[ParraSteve]

I think SK can feel vindicated in giving Loko a shot this early, he's improved in every game and against Lyon tonight he was very good

I'd be tempted to shift Morgan to the wing and bring reni at centre

 

[Parraren]

Super effort.

f**king flukey Manly merkins. They dead set arsed that one.

Unlucky boys.

 

[Cocidius]

Great result. Reni for Lasalo. Find a winger to replace Atkins FFS. FMD for aguy who is 6ft5 he runs it back like Burt.

Otherwise we're doing f**king better in the past month than I ever imagined.

Agreed...We really miss a grothe like winger with power and speed! Yow Yee would be great although i think the cash he asking would be a waste in our team considering we got other postions of greater demand...

How long to SIO is back? Would of loved to seen him in FG this year...learn his trade in the big time like Loko....

 

[Suitman]

Not much harm comes from not looking, either.
It's called peripheral vision. Not many players have the talent. Not many other people know what it is.
It's an extraordinary gift...............and Hayne has the gift.

gotta agree with suity on this one, bag the one guy that trys to give his team his all, and the only one with great talent...

 

[Iz_an_eel]

people seem to forget what he did in 09..... wonder if he did 09 again in 11 what everyone would be saying about his attitude and game..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Actually the defence will be able to read it much better if he's looking at the intended recipient.

The 'no-look pass' has been around for a long time; it's just relatively new to rugby league.

In fact, there's probably been rugby league players throwing passes without looking since long before Hayne made it famous.

 

[hindy111]

I dont think Hayne will reach his potential for about 2 more years.When he hits 25 he will be the best player we have seen in the blue and gold.Wait until he learns to use all his weapons properly.He is going to be a special player

and a 6.

 

[Avenger]

I wouldn't swap Hayne for any player in the world but you have to admit that at times he is lazy especially with his urgency is defence. Maybe he is just tired but it does look lazy. Plenty can see it.

Atkins was the least of our worries tonight. I think Wenty would do Morgan some good next week and I'm sure Maitua would do well if given the opportunity to fill in for him.

I too believe is fitness thing! He touches the ball so many times throughout the game...he rarely gets a breather!
IMO we should look at swapping him with Burt on defensive plays where we are pinning them in there own 40! Especially when we rely on him so much in attack.
Next year will be a different story due to having a number of players that can create...

 

[parra_jesus]

i know next year is a long way away but chuck a dominate halves pperformance in there like sandows and we beat manly by 20 , same as the dragons last week
