Match Discussion: Round 11 vs Eels @ Bankwest Stadium

[Das Hassler]

Benji knew what he was doing trying to play down the matterson thing...hyping this game up is just playing right into their hands...they run on wounded hero bogan juice! WT NEVER respond to an emotional challenge...only when they've been forced to knuckle down as footballers...hyped up distractions do not help...milestone games...one emotionally charged hi pressure game at the fortress to make the finals?!...never ever works...lo key hardarsed 80 football heads on is the only way we win...couldnt care less about matterson or why he left and I hope this week's 17 don't either.

Very true...Ryan doesn’t matterson!

Looks like Nathan Brown and Maika Sivo are unlikely starters. Swings things a bit closer to our benefit.

The Eels could be down on troops with Nathan Brown and Maika Sivo in extreme doubt for their clash with the Tigers.

Parramatta Eels v Wests Tigers at Bankwest Stadium (7.50pm)

Eels team: 1. Clinton Gutherson 2. Maika Sivo 3. Michael Jennings 4. Waqa Blake 5. Blake Ferguson 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Junior Paulo 11. Shaun Lane 12. Ryan Matterson 13. Nathan Brown 14. Andrew Davey 15. Marata Niukore 16. Stefano Utoikamanu 17. Brad Takairangi 18. David Gower 19. George Jennings

Players cut: 20. Daniel Alvaro 21. Jai Field

Tigers team: 1. Adam Doueihi 2. David Nofoaluma 3. Chris Lawrence 4. Moses Mbye 5. Tommy Talau 6. Billy Walters 7. Benji Marshall 8. Josh Aloiai 9. Harry Grant 10. Russell Packer 11. Michael Chee-Kam 12. Luciano Leilua 13. Matt Eisenhuth 14. Sam McIntyre 16. Luke Brooks 17. Chris McQueen 18. Oliver Clark 20. Shawn Blore 21. Alex Seyfarth

Players cut: 15. Thomas Mikaele 19. Elijah Taylor

Late mail: The Eels have Maika Sivo (knee) and Nathan Brown (hip) in extreme doubt, according to The Daily Telegraph. Marata Niukore would come in for Brown if he is ruled out and David Gower would join the bench, while George Jennings is on standby for Sivo.

For the Tigers interchange prop Thomas Mikaele was ruled out with Oliver Clark set to be promoted to the interchange in his place.

Not surprised..at least one of them was going to drop out...wouldn't be surprised to see fergo hobbling a bit as well.

As long as Benji has the serious Maori warrior look just before kick off..Look out for it ..that’s win or lose..(No doubt he will have it on today)

Won’t surprise if Blore makes his debut replacing Mcqueen

There’s not a man here who wouldn’t want to coat hanger the cat if the opportunity so presented.

If we can’t win the game, we owe it to ourselves to teach that prick headed self loving punk a lesson he will never forget.

He’d want to be apologising and begging for forgiveness as soon as he walks onto our stadium.

I don't give a shit. He was great for us last year. He acted like a muppet at the end of the season but I think that was him and not us.

To me his actions are nothing like the Turd who we bought on and supported for years and he had less than zero loyalty towards us.

The turd needs a good on field flogging as well. Some studs to his head to make him look better. Ponce he is.

I thought Sivo looked pretty bad after that Parker tackle, not surprised to hear him ruled out.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

There’s rumours that sivogate is fake news.

Ba being an idiot.

Sivo will lead them out!

We should be careful to not accidentally twist Matterson's thumb.

So that it is mistakenly identified as a chip by a seagull on the playing surface.

 

[Das Hassler]

When fresh legs Brooks comes on he'd better be attacking that tired line like never before....no excuses

 

[Tigerm]

Confirmed that Blore isin the 17 and MCK on the bench

 

[Vic Mackey]

Confirmed that Blore isin the 17 and MCK on the bench

side looks a bit better balanced now

just hoping for a gutsy performance

 

[Tiger05]

I like that. He is meant to be a highly rated junior. Let's see how he goes.

He put Stefano on his arse in a great tackle, hope he doesn’t hurt him tonight.

 

[Tigerm]

They just mentioned that Moses has been out for 3 weeks?
If I heard it right then his fitness will be a bit down.
