Eels backline the hottest in NRL: Finch

[Poupou Escobar]

Brett Stewart>Parra's backline.

He's consistently brilliant but he doesn't like the big matches - he's been useless in finals football and pretty ordinary at Origin.

He lacks the physicality to be truly great which is why most people voted for Wade McKinnon as the game's best fullback.

Makes for some intersesting reading now.........

Why does it?

Our outside backs are still kick arse (which is what Finch was talking about, he wasn't including himself).

It's our soft f**king forwards that have been dominated in games lately.

I'd still take our backline over the other ones in the comp.

 

[Tekken Lord]

All we did was talk up the back line, and rightly so. But what team wins a game when their forwards are being dominated? Daniel Wagon made 5 hit ups and 19 metres against the dragons, tim smith could make more than that in five hit ups...and we all know he doesn't have a running game. Our forwards are sh*t! The team needs to play with at least four props on the bench or they will continue to lose.

I'd take my backline, plus halves, over your backline now.


With the caveat of Ah Van on this wing instead of Crockett.

I'd certainly take my teams backline plus halves over theirs any time at allWouldn't have to think about it for a second.

Soward still gives Grothe nightmares.

Your backline looks ordinary without Burt, all the players have the talent but really need that one person leading from the back. Neither Smith or Finch can show the team that leadership.

You guys completely dominated the dragons in the 2nd half, a side who has been pretty weak of late in the defensive department and you still had no ability to get over the line. I would say your backs didn't pull their weight either.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

I wouldn't blame our backs, more the fowards, we had zero adequate go foward.

Did you all close your eyes and choose to ignore my post, i think this makes it pretty clear.

What about the eels backline.........Hot enough or what?
Finchy is King, he knows what he is talking about

 

[Tekken Lord]

I wouldn't say Finchy is King, but man did we turn it on or what?

Don't freak out d00d. You've got useless Souths this weekend so maybe Stewart will finally have a good finals game and prove me wrong.

 

[mattyg]

*bump*

Storm have shown up the "hottest backline in the NRL" :lol: without Slater for a large chuck of the match...

good stuff good stuff.

 

[tiger_nick]
