The more I watch Eels the more I'm glad we got rid of this defensive weakness sivo.

BuT aLl ThOsE tRiEs.

Honestly being equal top try scorer who also takes runs in their own half is overrated.

DWZ being DWZ tonight.

Yep thats why he's gone and we have Edwards

Almost dumbest thing I have read on LU today..

He is better than Sauce this year.

Anyhow what's the take on Peachy back to Panthers? I would not waste the money on him with the quality in Juniors you have coming through. Wouldn't even get him for experience..

So... sarcasm is not something you're familiar with?

That was sarcasm? Btw sarcasm does not work on the internet...

But back to my question..

Sarcasm sucks in writing but yeah I hate that we let Sivo go haha.

What you said about Peachey is about how I see it.

 

[Exsilium]

Sivo has plenty to learn about the game. He has some woeful reads and he's got a long way to go before he becomes a premier winger.

Is he better than Sauce? In attack, sure. In overall contribution....No.

How do you figure? Mansour isn't a noted defender and you admit in attack Sivo is better?

Totally agree. Sivo can and does score tries well. Does he have the same input as To'o. No. Brian does so much clean up work which Sivo goes MIA. Same with Blake against Naden.

 

[OldPanther]

He ran for 135m a lot being the tough hit ups on his own line. It's a myth he doesn't do the tough stuff.

Mansour has quality touches throughout the game. He's proven to be a very capable winger and he does a lot of the dirty work.

Sivo's workload in their own 20m is almost non-existent. He doesn't look for work like Mansour does.

Sivo is obviously scoring tries but there's more to being a winger than scoring tries. Look at Rapana, Ferguson, Ryan Hall etc. They all have high work rates.

As for defence, Sivo is screaming in to shut down plays when, if he had the awareness and stayed out, he would cover the attack. He has a long way to go before he is considered a top shelf winger.

Sivo had at least 1 hit up every set in their own 20 tonight with 2 hit ups once or twice. Not sure why people think otherwise.

Tonight's game, he was decent.

Other games, he's been MIA.

Do I think we've missed an absolute gun, no.

I respect your opinion although I disagree. A backline of

Edwards
Sivo
Naden
Crichton
Too

Would be mint, a lot of points and speed there.

 

[OldPanther]

I also have to say I don't dislike Mansour or anything. I mean no disrespect to him as a player. He's been great for the club and his 100m a game is invaluable.

 

[mxlegend99]

Sivo might not be perfect. But he has less flaws in his game then Naden. But we still love him.

Sivo tries hard. Plays hard. Finishes well and we would definitely be better with him in our team than Mansour.

He might concede a try or two Mansour wouldn't have (might save some he wouldn't have also). But he would definitely score a lot more tries than Josh has for us.

 

[Dave's mate]

Sivo was worth a shot but seeing who else is coming through To'o Crichton ect its not a bad call overall

 

[age.s]

I'm happy with Mansour. If he's worse than Sivo there's not that much in it. It swings heavily the other way without the benefit of hindsight.
