Given the result, does anyone care?

 

[the_eel]

does anyone no why finch didnt play tonight

Because deep down he's a Parra supporter and he knew our best chance for a win was to have Green at 5/8;-)

 

[Hallatia]

in not playing Finch was doing what was best for the team

 

[the_eel]

The second half was much better for the boys. I though that green, Hindy and Ben Smith were all pretty good.

 

[Hallatia]

I was pretty pleased with Tim Smith and I think that Eels should consider keeping this half combination

 

[Eelectrica]

Only change I want to see next week is Cayless back in the side.
Panthers won't give us the game like the Tigers and Raiders have this last two weeks.

Finch can continue his quest to win a premiership in Premier league, we're going for three in row there, good luck Finch.

well said, I could not agree more,

I agree. I thought that they complimented each other quite well. Green took a fair bit of pressure off Tim Smith tonight.

Would you bring Tahu in anywhere?

agree 100% exept (ill prob get sprayed for this), id drop Burt and play either Hayne, or Inu at fullback with the other on the wing outside Tahu. Benny played well, i wouldnt be droping him now. Other than that perfect team, when Fui in 100% id start him though.

I guess, assuming he's over his broken finger nail or whatever it was.
Inu looked good and had a good combination with Hayne.

It was a great win but put it in perspective guys. The young fellas that were brought up did their job, got a taste of the big time but the Raiders were just as bad as we were good. Their time will come but you can't just keep all of those changes on the back of a win like that. I'd keep Fa'aoso ahead of Ian H (far out the bloke couldn't catch the ball if he had a bucket) but that's about it. Let Green and Inu have an off season to prepare for a full season of FG, they filled in brilliantly and Hagan showed great faith in them but it could ruin them if they are brought along too quickly.

Anyway, brilliant watching . Tim Smith took control and ran very well even if he took a few bad options, he still looked very sharp tonight. That dummy Inu threw just had class written all over it, also his footwork and understanding with Jarryd were great. Green was very composed and let Tim run the show and it worked, their combo was better than Finch and Smith have shown.

And I love that the Knights lost, and how they kept saying it was only a matter of time before Lowrie was our five-eighth and that Hagan doesn't promote young players... :lol:.

 

[Hallatia]

I love that the Knights lost too and not just because I love Melbourne, everybody should take a moment to lol at Knights

 

[Join The Bandwagon]

Moimoi would have run rampant through that raiders defense tonight.

... :lol:.

Sorry Jay but you are wrong. These kids are ready now. Its a young mans game now and if they are good enough they are old enough.
They would stay in FG in any other team.

 

[Stagger eel]

Caylo and T should be back next week..Finchy has some problem with his ribs and is in doubt for next week.

 

[lucablight]

How about Fui?

 

[Stagger eel]

How about Fui?

should also be ready to rumble...
