Eels in the media

[IFR33K]

His decoy run created our first try to fergo ... he genuinely looked like he was gonna get the ball and sucked in all the defenders leaving fergo open .... our decoys have been rather meh lately

If you watch all the replays of tries, all were scored with a number of decoys (except lussicks). It was so refreshing to watch, because it’s not something we’ve been doing a great deal of. We kept melb guessing all night. If you watch carefully for one of our tries, olam actually gets it so wrong, that he ends up behind Munster in the defensive line.

 

[Eelementary]

There is a bit of this going around. He's been solid, but I don't think he has out played Tom Opacic by any great lengths. Very happy with his progress, but to be a star he'll need to be a king at line breaks and assists.

Tbh, he's defended just as well - if not better - than Opacic, made more of an impact in attack, and made fewer errors.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

His defense has been awesome, plus he’s aggressive. Big, strong and fast and isn’t Error prone. If someone is saying he hasn’t outplayed opacic, they should absolutely just give up.

Don't rule out the value of experience. I agree Penisini has more talent, but Opacic has more tries and line breaks, including per game. I think they should both be our centres.

Well with no Sivo or Fergo in 2022 (early rounds for Sivo), you might get your wish.

BA planning to rest 7 or so players

 

[Twizzle]

sounds like our trainers will be lacing up the boots

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Maybe something like this:

1. Smith
2. Dunster
3. Will
4. Blake
5. Fergo
6. Drown
7. Moses
8. Kaufusi
9. Lussuck
10. Mac
11. Cartwright
12. Hipgrave
13. Marata

14. Russell
15. Hollis
16. Stone
17. Greig

other options include perham/rodwell/ JA

rest Gutho, papa, Paulo (but now suspended), Lane, Drown,

we are pretty light in the forwards, pretty hard to name a bench

Not sure Moses will be rested, probably needs to play as he did have a few weeks ok.

Does Blake/Fergo/Dunster/will need a rest? Not sure.

 

[Twizzle]

swap 1 and 14 for mine, think Mitch will be rested for Jarthur

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Will rest a number of players for the final regular season game with Clint Gutherson (leg/shoulder), Mitch Moses (rested), Junior Paulo (suspension), Marata Niukore (HIA), Shaun Lane (HIA), Waqa Blake (rested) and Nathan Brown (rested) all set to miss out. Tom Opacic missed the last few weeks due to a rib injury and could return if fit. David Hollis could make his NRL debut from the bench

I loved that play. Olam best centre in the game and our boys owned him. Maybe not next time but IDGAF. I so enjoyed what I saw. Im still on a high. Getting ready to listen to Hughes at 3 then Giggle Pot tonight. Too much Eels talk is never enough.

Great decoy by WillP. Sucked both Munster and Olam in and let Moses go straight to Gutho giving us a 2 on 1.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

There's those effort areas again.

They were very exciting!!

Grand tradition continues as Schoolboys merit team named

The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily affected the Australian Schoolboys program in recent seasons but for the code's next generation of stars, it's a case of remembering these names for the future.

[Poupou Escobar]

If he's got good potential the Dogs or Tigers will pay overs for him. If he had great potential he'd already be playing for the Roosters or Souths.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

f**k him off already!

 

[TheRam]

That kid on the wing in the Australian Schoolboys merit team, Dudley Dotoi, he has some serious speed and I believe the rumour is that the Tigers have just signed him to a 2 year contract.

Well there goes another speedster that we should have brought to our club. We should be signing all the best junior speedsters available at this point. We could not have enough of them. That is our greatest weakness and we should be going all out trying to address it.

And before you even start Pou...f**k off.
