Eels team v Titans

[84 Baby]

robson is extremely underated, he has a great pass and knows the plays well, i dont think they should ruin the startup by throwing kris keating in there.. theres something bout him tht i dont like,?

Robson does too much tackling, too much ball running and not enough tactical kicking. That's not acceptable to the Eels forumites, who, it seems want a choker, a non tackler, non runner, and a tactical ticker.

Meowwww, meowww, flap flap flap..meoww, flap flap flap...That's the cat amongst the pigeons;-):lol:

I like Robson too but I ask you this... If we didn't have Hayne at fullback or Mortimer at five-eighth, would you still want Robson as halfback?
He's a good link man, solid defender (for a half) and is cheap but he's never going to win a game off his own back and Keating is essentially the same player but with more energy and runs better (and slightly more expensive)

Though I think Keating could make a break. Keating is a little SOWARD like.

NOt at the same class yet but similar.

But 84 Baby. It is complimentary skills of each player in this team that DA has got right.

Play each man's strenghths and have others cover their weaknesses.

Grothe is not fast to turn and defend, so it is good to have him stand in the line and have Robson and Reddy to cover.

i just think robson is more mentally alert while keating is so young and just i dont see him playing first grade again! he will nev be better then robson, robson will be one of the best halbacks in the game you just wait

and i still think instead of buying justin poore we should have invested in tim smith coming back

 

[yy_cheng]

JH, the problem is that Robson doesn't have a team to play for next year.

 

[84 Baby]

Why would we need Tim Smith if Robson is going to be one of the best halfbacks?

 

[Jeremy_hindmarsh]

hasnt he resigned with parra?

 

[gustarny]

GO the eels

 

[wittyz chick]

Muz James doesn't play for Wenty anymore.. the travel was too much [guessing he still lives around Narrabeen] so he's just concentraing on his business and playing for Belrose.
Oh god if T.Morts was to ever play 1st grade anybody within a 100km radius of me would go deaf I'd scream that f**king loud. The guy's a gun fullback, great defender

People forget about K.Keats for this year.. 1st off all don't stuff up our halves combination as they're working well together.. That and the fact HE'S STILL INJURED :roll:

 

[Jeremy_hindmarsh]

WC if he was to ever play first grade i doubt hell make the cut for fullback over haynezy, he will either be playing wing, centre, or possibly halfback

 

[Jeremy_hindmarsh]

because tim smith is quality and robson can slide into any position on the feild

First of all I never said he's better than Hayne, just saying if he was to play he'd do a good job.. and he wouldn't play halfback you're mixing him up with older brother James..
Besides he wouldn't even need to play 1st grade for Parra.. Just him playing 1st grade for ANY club would make me SO happy! [Even if it was to be for *shudder* Dogs or Manly]

here's 10 bucks, knock your self out

he cant even get a game for Wigan

 

[benoir91]

I strongly believe Tim smith is our escape hatch if Robson signs with a UK club

 

[wittyz chick]

Twiz, Tim's been injured for a while.. busted shoulder or something..

But I have to ask people.. why are we talking about Timmy AGAIN?? :crazy:

 

[Twizzle]

he still couldn't get a game when he was fit

 

[Jeremy_hindmarsh]

twiz, you know he is better then how your making out, yeah he did some stupid stuff but admit, he CAN play footy when he wants to!

 

[Suitman]

.. why are we talking about Timmy AGAIN?? :crazy:

Yeh, I know. He's gone. Done and dusted. Osborne said that we're not interested.

The sooner someone else signs him up, the sooner we can forget him.

Suity

 

[Twizzle]

twiz, you know he is better then how your making out, yeah he did some stupid stuff but admit, he CAN play footy when he wants to!

not consistently imo

I'd have him over Robson but I'd have KK over both of them

 

[parra pete]

That'll be funny 3 mortimers playing for Parramatta in the same team.

We should sign up the Morris' too.

1. Mortz
2. Morris
3. Morris
4. Reddy
5. Grothe
6. Mortz
7. Mortz
13. Hayne.


Imagine Rabbits calling this team

There was a game in Tumbarumba in the mid sixties that had twelve Goldspinks and Don Furner in the team.
It wasn't a competition match, but a game against the reigning premiers. From memory, the Goldspinks won. The match was broadcast, and again from memory, a Goldspink was named Man of the Match.
