Peats

[Someone]

For all Keating's faults, he was a tough and effective defender. I think some people were concerned that maybe Peats mightn't be as good.

However, after last night, those potential fears surely must have been allayed...

people on here were most certainly worried about peats being too small defensively and that we'd struggle even more up the middle.

but of course he has a blinder and now people cant admit it to.

I thought he was man of the match too.

It was slick, he ran well and probably didnt take a wrong option.

It is so good to have 2 awesome centres.

It was the first time for a long time that we werent waiting for Hayne to do something

It's funny, but it is just possible that by season's end everyone will be saying we have the best backline in the NRL.

Hi kick over the deadball line was typical Kelly and the catch from the kickoff.

Lets see if he can string more than one good game together

He's an inexperienced half-back who hasn't played a full season of NRL yet. He'll continue to improve - there's nothing surer.

Yes that was my point Eele, no one was worried about the attacking part of things but Keating was one of the better defensive Hookers around. Peats more than matched him in the defensive department and totally transformed our attack and forward roll on.

It was obvious that Brad Arthur [correctly] told the boys that the best way to nullify Tomkins' effectiveness is to rush up on him and smash him. And we did it brilliantly.

Nathan Peats...Superb effort.

I was even more impressed that their most potent attacking weapon - Sean Johnston - was so well-contained, he might as well have not played.

That's funny. All I kept hearing was that Peats is good defensively, but is probably another Matt Keating clone. I kept saying that I'd seen a bit of him and thought he was excellent in attack. He's an all-round package.

Peats' tackling style also suits the new rules. He axes in fairly low and can slip down, reducing the need for the '3rd man in' to grab the legs to slow the ball.

Nein reports Peats will miss one game and has been fined 5k for an incident in Bali involving his girlfriend, while still contracted to Souffs. WTF.

bummer

something that happened in Bali with his GF so says 9

 

[Delboy]

Gee, the gods are against us. We finally get a decent 9, and an incident before he joined impacts on the Eels

These are the battles that have to be overcome, but it's certainly hard to swallow, at the same time understanding issues against females is not to be tolerated

 

[JoeyJoJo83]

Well there goes my semi hard on for this weekend.

 

[Noise]

[hineyrulz]

[Poupou Escobar]

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Well, hopefully he learns from the situation.........and it is only a week.
