Eels in the media

Um what happens if we win the comp ?

Safe to say Mal doesn't overrate our players.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not really, it gives their pack time to recover, which we don’t want. They are already fit / mobile enough.

More hit ups isn’t an issue if you constantly getting small breaks….additionally the backs wouId still take the early hit ups still..…..

as the article shows, stopping their backs making metres is a better option, as it gives less field position and puts more pressure on their forwards - which can lead to errors / fatigue. Breaks reduces this pressure…

Yep, it is never big forwards that trouble our middle defence, it is always outside backs coming through the middle or smaller forwards with footwork (e.g. Cook, Murray) that cause us trouble.

You cant argue with whi is in that squad .... RCG vs Lodge maybe is probably the only one. But Reg seems to have shat on someones bed .. Lane the other, but there are other good players there.

Load of bulllshit if Lodge gets picked, a good month after 3 years of shit and gets picked…while RCG great for 3 years doesn’t get a look in…..it’s the most disgraceful select and disrespectful to the Aussie jumper if lodge gets a start before RCG!!

Roosters!! Always getting what they want!!

Probably should have taken the offer to play NRL then.

Maybe it was a trick, he said yes so Bea sacked him?? Bea the evil genius

Bloos picked a lot of Panfers

How did that work out ?

I don't think Mal watches a lot of footy

Yeah it’s definitely double-edged but it would disrupt how they play somewhat.
Also if their backs take the early hitups then it would be against set defence rather than kick returns.
Definitely should stick with what’s worked for us, but it would be interesting to see how the other tactic affected them.

I remember hearing tht Billy and Freddy are also selectors for the aussie team so don't expect rcg to be in it.

Nah they knocked it back for conflict of interest.

Laurie Daley and Darren lockyer are selectors

I'm pretty certain RCG has made himself available for Fiji
edit well he's been picked at least

Mal would barely watch a Parra game.

I reckon the dope wouldn't have realised we made the top 4.

Too busy with his hourly shave down. He’s the reason 5 blade razors were invented.

He is eligible and therefore picked in the prelim squad, but if he gets picked for Australia that who he will play for, same as Api

Mal tipped the Titans to win the competition a few years ago and couldn’t last for than a few seconds as a politician so he doesn’t appear to be the brightest bulb.

Makes me laugh every time...

Was this when he was employed by the Titans? I wonder how many of them he picked in his rep teams.

Jake might have to do a Moses and lead Eels to promised land

If Mitchell Moses fails to overcome concussion, Jake Arthur will try to keep the Eels’ title dream alive - and keep the pressure off his father.

Im gonna bet lefty that Moses will play

Its a scientific fact that concussions are less damaging at finals time ... all the stats point to it
