Games thread eels v dogs

[Joshuatheeel]

So are we going to win?

I reckon we have a more potent backline but not sure if we have the ability to win the forward battle to enable the backs to do their magic. I reckon it will be a close game.

 

[Pazza]

I think Morris, Inu and Perrett have the wood over our young back line ATM but in terms of creativity and freakish ability Hayne and Sandow have it all over the dogs!

Also with Graham and Kasino out I think our front row is stronger aswell.

Sio is out according to Joshybon twitter.

Maybe Jerome can get his opportunity

fair enough inu and morris but unless peret finds a way to hurt us with his high 5 or sideways dummy half runs i can't see him being a threat.

nospam46 is reporting Vai Toutai to debut

 

[Kornstar]

I'll be there at gates open!

Can't wait and I agree with Ricky, if we are 2 or 3 tries near them, then we have done well!

As long as we put on more points then them, we will go a long way in winning this game...... :sarcasm:

 

[Gazzamatta]

Would love to see Jarome Mackenzie get a run. Awesome talent in this kid. Has Barba like speed. Definalely a future NRL player if he keeps focused.

 

[parra-matters]

I think we can win if we limit our mistakes, kick well like last week and compete in the forwards.
More of a test than the Warriors last week thats for sure.

hope the crowd is big, loved the atmosphere last weekend even on tv

 

[Someone]

eels by 6.

 

[mickdo]

Dogs by 10. Happy to be proven wrong, same as last week ;-)

 

[natheel]

Best time to beat the dogs but they wi be fired up after barba was released. If we lose I hope we are competitive.

Have to agree with this, would love to see him replace Sio out on the wing.

 

[Parra Pride]

Parra by plenty.

We got dis.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Eels by 12. I think Elkin will give us the edge over our rivals.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

I think they have it in the backs but we have it in the forwards.

We shouldn't read too much into last week as it could have been a one off. We'll know more around 10:00pm tonight, I guess.

The Dogs are deserved favourites but I think we're in this one up to our eyeballs.

Anyone know if the members bar at Homebush stadium is open for games this year?
