It’s D-day for Daniel

[forward pass]

Alpha mag predicts the Bulldogs to finish 1st, Eels 2nd and Storm 3rd.
Are they serious?

I don't think the dogs will make the eight. My early prediction !

I think we have KK, Mateo and Morts all sign deals with the Eels before round 1 or a few weeks in. All 3 are in discussions with the club by my understanding. Inu will also stay and sign mid year on a reduced contract along with Cayless (who will also play on a reduced contract).
Grothe will have a massive year and demand big $$, probably moving off to the Roosters.

 

[Gronk]

so if daniel agrees to go to the dogs, would that mean that he plays wentworthville with kk and robson in the halves and someone like mitchell on the bench hooker role?

No way. Ando will want his best 13 to take the field each and every week. No point warehousing a player just because he'll be playing at another club in 2011.

If he doesnt sign for us i personaly would put him on the bench for wenty.I wouldnt try and develop him any further.This might sound harsh but thats the way i roll boys... Give KK and robo and humble a chance...
Would i do the same with mateo or Inu..NO they have spent a solid few years at the club.
2 yr contract seem short thou-I would of thought 3?

I would start KK at 6 and Mortz at 14 if he signs with the dogs.

If the pairing starts having problems, then throw Mortz back into the starting 13.

What, is there a written law that the Eels must finish first in every publication?

No I don't expect the Eels to finsh 1st but to have the dogs infront of the Eels and Storm is a bit of a puzzle.

i expect then to make the 8 but in the bottom half, they are not going to have the run they had last year IMO.

do you realise which forum you are in ?

 

[Fathead]

Despite the contracts set to be thrown at him this week, Mortimer is not even guaranteed a starting spot against the Dragons according to his coach.

“All three boys will play again next week – Jeff Robson, Kris Keating and Morts,” said Daniel Anderson in the wake of last Sunday’s trial against the Dragons. We’ve got some luxury in that we’ve got competition for spots.”

.

This is why Ando is such a good coach and why we are in such a healthy position.
No one should be assured of anything.

 

[Fathead]

What ever we do we cannot lose KK.

IMHO I would sacrifice Morts before KK anyday and twice on sunday.

 

[Craig Johnston]

What ever we do we cannot lose KK.

IMHO I would sacrifice Morts before KK anyday and twice on sunday.

and three times over robson

 

[caylo]

What ever we do we cannot lose KK.

IMHO I would sacrifice Morts before KK anyday and twice on sunday.

I hope we do keep KK... i would love to see him and mortz play some footy together. He is very cronk like IMO and could be that good as far as i am concerned.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

wow if this was Jarryd Hayne it would be 10 pages long about how he isn't that great of a player lol

 

[jk13]

it'll be 10 pages long on the dog humping forum.

 

[natheel]

i rekon he will stay but if he doesnt then put him on bench and get KK and Robbo to work on a good partnership!

I reckon Mortimer will go to the Dogs

Plus I think he has a better long term chance there, either at 6 or 7

Plus Noddy may retire after this year which will make it more appealing for him.

Plus looking a few years ahead. He has probably been told by the dogs that he will take over as captain when Bobcat retires in 2-3 years time

Plus Dogs will offer him overs, cause we wont be

Plus I think his old man played there :roll:

Plus we have KK and Mateo back fully fit, who both can do a better job at 5/8th than Mortimer

How times have changed... Mortimer is a good player and I would love to see a Mortimer-KK combo but if its not possible I think Humble would do well at 5-8. Remembering that with Jarryd and Mateo pulling most of the strings in attack the halves will just have to kick and distribute well more then create. Robson IMO struggles to kick well and so IMO he doesnt suit our style, I still think he would fit Melbournes team better then Finch who too often tries to over call Cronk and Smith.
