First Grade V Eels

[BG]

I can see this side running out:
1. Gidley (c)
2. McManus
3. Sau
19. Lulia
5. Uate
20. Rogers
6. Mullen
16. Fa'aoso
9. De Gois
10. Wicks
11. Simpson
13. Houston
12. Taia

8. Taufua
14. Ndaira
15. Hilder
18. Natusch

Rogers for Dureau seems likely. And yeah, possibly Natusch onto the bench for Karawana (or Ndaira).

Don't see why Smith would feign over Wes and Lulia though. Wes will play imho, unless Doogs gets a glowing medical report. I'd also be a little surprised if Taia moves back to lock--simply because he's been killing it in the second-row. Starting props is anyone's guess, but Wicks did start against the Roosters and Taufua's going great guns so they may well play as named.

In fact, as named, it's the same forwards/bench as we ran with for the Roosters, with the exception of Taufua starting instead of Fass and Hous instead of Hilder.

:lol:

 

[roopy]

don't forget all our boys will be 10% faster and 10% meaner because they have no hair.

 

[Liam]

Should dye whatever's left red so they'll be 10% angrier.

:lol:

:?

Is pushing Faas and Hilder back to the bench that big a change?

Ohh man I forgot all about that...should be an absolute crackup :lol:

The funniest thing about shaving your head is you always still cover your head when you run in the rain in case you get your hair wet - which always makes you feel like a complete dick when you find yourself doing it.

everyone does it - even 50 year old 16 stone bald guys - but they look silly when they do.

 

[Rolla]

Ive never covered my head when it rains, mostly cos i dont have a perm and my hair isnt straightened....oh and im a guy. But i suppose some might.

Man its going to be hard for the commentators.

8. Mark Taufua

Wonder if the Peter Hoare will show up. He has the last couple of times we've played against Parramatta at home.

and a dickhead

oh wait, same thing... :sarcasm:

 

[Frederick]

He came into my work a couple of weeks ago...was looking at some computers. I asked him if he needed a hand. He said he was fine. He walked out a couple of minutes later, and I noticed something that looked like a tail poking out from the back of his vest. Next thing I know a cat poked it's head out from under his vest and looked at me. Our door greeter saw it too and pissed herself laughing.
