Eric might have outgrown Eels

[Stagger eel]

yy, if Jono was bad last week, Etu would of been twice as bad, the guy can't read in defence to save his life, which is the reason why he plays wing for wenty.

 

[yy_cheng]

ok but he didn't look that bad when he did play NRL.

Guru was amazing today

unbelievable work rate, I'd like to know how many hits up he made today

length of the field try

he's a keeper

Gee he make a massive difference when he plays! Just watch every run the impact and force on the defenders!

And I would like to see someone chase him down!

GO Parra!

Guru was great - if he is going os, let's send him off with a GF win

 

[yy_cheng]

Sometimes he is knackered and he still hits it up with venom.

You will see in the beginning he runs it hard and determined.

When he gets buggered, he sort of lazily lugs it too the line but when he hits the line he gives it all he's got.

He really puts us on the front foot and he has quick play the balls.

Still too many mistakes from Guru today for mine.

He'd still be my first choice to drop out of next year's backline. I think he'd be fine in the forwards though.

I agree, there are others I'd be prepared to sacrifice to keep him.

 

[Slick]

I don't want him going anywhere, when he is firing he is near unstoppable.

Helped out the forwards when we were struggling to make yardage with 232m and scored the match winning try with a length of the field effort and all you have to say is too many mistakes? Seriously man...

 

[bartman]

I'm not saying he had a bad game at all.

I'm just responding to opinions that his game today means he has to be kept in the backline next year. I feel he still makes way too many mistakes in his defensive reads to not be the one that stands aside for Tahu.

I reckon his style of game and his strengths are suited to the forwards - imagine Eric achieving what Ben Smith has now done from the bench and in the back row, it would be magic!

 

[yy_cheng]

Barty, he didn't really make that many mistakes. Caught out in defense once. Dropped a very poor pass from Hayne and that's about all I can recall.

 

[mickdo]

I didn't think he made many mistakes at all...

 

[lucablight]

If Grothe doesn't play today we don't win. Simple. I'm not sure if he would be suitable for the second row myself.

 

[yy_cheng]

Leave him on the wing.

He is playing two roles. That of a Prop and that of a winger.

Although Burty does the smart things like the field goal today, he's gk can be covered by INU so he has the least to offer to the team

But mistakes they were, which was my point re next season's backline (if he doesn't leave as semi-reported above). Burt offers vision, leadership, goalkicking, and better positional play.

But I just want to focus on the positives as much as possible for the rest of this year. He's a first choice winger in this season's team, no argument.
