I have to say that Hindmarsh was the best player on the field in a well beaten Eels side. Him and Simpson should get the vacant SOO spots IMO.
What game were you watching? The only Eel that stood out was Side Show Bob Peterson.
I was at the game Kiwi, so I don't know how it came up on TV, but Hindmarsh was everywhere. He chased every kick, backed up every run, seemed to make a lot of hitups and tackles. He was also hitting hard in tackles so many of the moves to spread the ball were because players didn't want to run into Hindmarsh.
Sometimes TV doesn't show everything that happens off the ball, but at the ground you could see that Hindmarsh had the Knights worried and was working his bum off, it was a pity none of the rest of them had much impact. Solamona had an even bigger game in reserve grade. He completely tore the reggies to bits for a 50 odd point win.
Sideshow Bob has always been one of my favourites. I used to love watching the combination he and Kurt Gidley had going in reserve grade. Kurt would make the gap and Petersen would motor through it - magic.
