Eels.v Round One 2018 Team List Thread

He could probably crawl through their legs too, if he wanted.

Ah yes, the human nutmeg. Underutilised.

So less than 48 hrs until BA names his team for Sunday.

For mine 1-7 will be as per the Newy trial. Mannah, King, Mau and Brown the only definite starters in the pigs. Edwards, Evans and Ivan in there somewhere.

Not sure on the last 3.
Can't wait to see what BA decides to do.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Will it be Teamlist Tuesday or do they do Wteamlist Wednesday nowadays?

It's very exciting.

Yes, looking up a chook's arse

Well it is if you are in to that sort of thing.

No judgements in here mate.

I still can’t find room for Taka, though I’m sure BA mentioned he “has to be there somewhere” or words to that effect.

Mannah
King
Alvaro
Ma’u
Scott
Brown

Smith or Matagi if no Utility
Edwards
Evans
Tepai

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Scott no longer plays second row.

It's very egg sighting

Semi had sooooo many ways he could beat someone .... he was unique in my time watching league

I dont think he had peaked either. His last 10 games he was becoming something special.
Best winger I have ever seen.

I always thought Eric Grothe jnr could of been a far better player had he been more dedicated. I still remember a game where BS picked Burt over him in a final. Couldnt beleive it

Does the thought excite you?

99 Major semi against the Storm, Burt spilt a ball coming off our line that lead to a try. We had that game in the bag

Not as much as your Power rankings.

I remember that. The ball was stripped and should of been a penatly. By memory was on our 35 and we had a 14-6 lead with about 18 to go. Changed the game

I will throw a conspiracy at you. Anyone think that old Mad Dog BA might have a trick up his sleeve re Gutherson? For someone due back round 8 he looks pretty healthy...

 

[Gary Gutful]

He doesn't look too healthy in that bottom photo.

 

[Stevie]

He doesn't look too healthy in that bottom photo.

Really? He appears to be leading the drills.

 

[Happy MEel]

We have to name our side in advance so it would not be that much of a surprise if that is infact the case.

It doesn't matter how healthy he is - it is a risk to the recovery of his ACL before the appropriate healing time - I think I read 7 months and the risk reduces after that.

No-one doubts he is as fit and as every other player.
