Well he was still wearing a guard last Saturday but I reckon he'll probably resume full contact later this week and could be a late inclusion

The Dyldam Parramatta Eels Holden Cup side to take on the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs on Friday 18 March at ANZ Stadium has been named by Head Coach Luke Burt.

Burt has made two changes to his Holden Cup line up that suffered a 34-12 defeat to the North Queensland Cowboys last week.

Michael Doolan moves to fullback replacing Mason Cerruto, whilst Dean Matterson will make his club debut, named in the halves.

Holden Cup kick off is at 5:50pm, with NRL kick off at 8:05pm.

Mason Cerruto was very suspect under bombs. In fact, i thought the whole team looked better when Doolan went to fullback.

I haven't seen anything from Twal in either game so far this season that's been overly impressive .

Fuimaono, I thought he played ok but thought he probably doesn't get involved enough.

But but but Twai will just step in and replace junior no problem.

Don't see what the big wrap in the bloke myself, he's still young but looks like a poor mans Mannah to me.

He's made 17 runs in both games 1st for 140m 2nd for 230metres. 2 line breaks in 2nd game and only a handful of missed tackles across the 2. What more can he do?

Those stats aren't to be ignored but to me, he looks like he has the ability to be a dominant player in the nyc comp and think he could get more involved especially in the oppositions 20. I reckon he should be the centre that the side predominantly plays towards. Set him up for more one on one working with the halves. He looks stronger and faster than most and will almost definitely be a 1st grader at some stage.

Twal is 19. He wont play first grade this year. More then likely not till 2018.
He will put on weight and gain power. His style is more like Mannah's but he is a lot bigger so could become a lot stronger. Hopefully more like Woods.
Of course he can flop.Penrith had a guy call Andy Saunders that was expected big things.Now he is a bench player for NSW cup.
I however think Twal will develop into a good front rower. He does not bend the line a lot and is more workman like but has a great motor and is mobile.

He can't get more involved as a centre. His involvement in the match is largely dependant on the halves. If he goes "looking" for the ball then it ruins our plays and throws timing out. If the call is for him to go in field then fair enough but we don't really use that play on the right we have our left centre usually running on the angle underneath the half. On the right we usually give him early ball and let them use their footwork cutting back in after they've received the ball.

It is a shame that Dargan is our dominant half and he predominantly plays on the left side.

 

[hindy111]

I thought the same with falou last weekend. But Tuha was going in for the ball all the time. If falou did there would be know one on his side.

 

[hindy111]

Whats your thoughts on Twal Obscene Assasin? I reckon he will come good. Needs to add 10kgs to his frame.

OA, it's hard to argue with anything you've said so I'm not going to

Is it on foxtel?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Only the first Super Saturday NRL teams get their NYC on the telly.

 

[Forty20]

And Sunday right? Or did they shit can that this year?

Regardless, I heard some silly merkin might be doing updates of the game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I know a silly merkin who will be furiously clicking refresh on that page.

Poo leads and Gazza follows.

Half Time

14-all

I left fairly early budgeting for the Easter Show traffic and still missed 15min of the game! :?

Dogs were up 10-0 at the point I started watching so I evidently caught the better quarter of our effort. Twal has looked a great deal better this week. Played the entire half with lots of good carries and a number of offloads. Denzal Tonise and Troy Dargan were the other two to stand out up until half time.
