Hindy got benched cause he aint a rooster

And as for Slater MOM, I was speechless.

Five minute of good footy, should not make a MOM, when you compare it to hard working forwards who put in a good 60 minutes.

For some stupid reason they always give MOM to a plyer in the the winning team, yet Hindy and Fitsgibbons played a much better game than the 5 minute wonder.

The only drama I have with bringing Hindy off is leaving BobCat on.

What's that all about. BobCat playing more time then Hindmarsh :roll:

Bobcat played the full 81 minutes in game one too. They try and play Hindy as an "impact" player... PFFT! He should be out there for the full 80!!! Getting my tickets this morning. Front row, so I can see Nath when the Blues do there lap of honour after game 3

I agree, the amount of time he came off his wing tonight was nearly disastrous for us. Some bad reads there.

If there are people out there who do not think that the selctors are biased, I have proof for you:

Anthony Minichiello.

What a waste of space!

He's useless, and yet he'll be the custodian in Origin III.

And to think some people actually thought he could be/is the best fullback in the world.

Jees.

I actually think the rest does him good in Origin. He comes out in the second half and just causes havoc! I think it's a deliberate strategy by Gould, he wants to keep him fresh for the final 25mins and it worked tonight.


Maybe, just maybe, Brian Smith could learn something from this.
Giving Hindy a rest actually leaves him fresher to do more attacking, a part of his game we don't quite see as often these days, as he is spending 80 minutes defending, covering for some of our bludger forwards.
Just a thought.

True Suity.

However, the Representative Hindmarsh and the Eel Hindmarsh are very different.

To the Rep. Teams, Hindmarsh is just another hard-working and inspirational forward.

To the Eels, however, he is much more - he not only works hard and inspires, but he plugs up gaps, goes forward and keeps the team going.

Giving him a break could be great.

But seeing how our forwards have played in recent weeks, I don''t think Hindy will be having to do 50+ tackles anymore.

It's different now - Wagon has found form; Vella has found form; Pearson is in great shape; Stapleton has been all year round; Afamasaga gets better with every game; and Morris is just brilliant.

But could we spare him for 15 minutes at the moment?

I don't know.

But I would REALLY like to think that Parra could do without its best player for 15 minutes of every game. Maybe the others could lift themselves to cover for him, knowing that he will be better for the rest.

He could split the defence open like Ben Kennedy is capable of if he were a little fresher. It's puzzling as to which way he is better used really.

With more efforts like Sunday, perhaps we could. I know three weeks ago we sure couldn't.

A short breather just prior to and after half time?

Fishy,

That would be perfect. And I don't claim to be a genius, as I was only awoken to this possibility after seeing last nights game.

See, I knew there was a better coaching alternative out there other than Brian. ;-)

No we couldn't with the squad we have this year but maybe next year..................1 name - Glenn Morrison. Think about it.

I miss Hindy's FEND.

He used to always fend or shrug off the at least one player. But that seems to have gone missing.
