Predicted R1 side anyone?

Assuming Klemmer will miss R1 along with probably B Moz and Hoppa. Graham reportedly fine?

1 Abbey 2 Rona 3 J Morris 4 Stanley 5 Perrett 6 Reynolds 7 Mbye
8 Graham (c) 9 Lichaa 10 Tolman 11 Jackson 12 Williams 13 Eastwood

14 Kasiano 15 Fualalo (if Klemmer suspended) 16 Browne 17 Lane

 

[Johnnie Red]

Looks about right.

When is Lloyd Perrett due back? I would have him on the bench if he was fit.
It will be good to give Abbey a run this early in the season,

 

[Packy]

I thought both Brett Morris and Hoppa were meant to be fit for round 1?

 

[Timmah]

So did I but I keep seeing reports they aren't.

Add to that Des's mind games - who knows.

 

[Timmah]

Assuming B Moz and Hoppa ARE available I'd like to amend

1 B Morris 2 Rona 3 J Morris 4 Hopoate 5 Perrett 6 Reynolds 7 Mbye
8 Graham (c) 9 Lichaa 10 Tolman 11 Jackson 12 Williams 13 Eastwood

14 Kasiano 15 Fualalo 16 Browne 17 Lane

As for Lloyd Perrett I read about him signing elsewhere? Not sure

I did hear that we were looking to off load him, not sure the reasons behind it.

He hasn't really kicked on like we thought he would. We have some good props coming through. I wouldn't be upset if he moved on next season and took Sam with him (that's the bonus for us!)

 

[BM1979]

Very good performance, forwards were outstanding, Hoppa receives a massive tick and Reynolds and Mbye looked very promising. I fearh goal kicking may become an issue for us , I don't think Mbye hit one sweetly all night.

I also wish Josh Morris would learn how to pass sometimes

 

[Packy]

Hoppa looked happier last night than his entire time at Eels.

 

[Timmah]

Stoked with the effort and execution - one of our best opening round games in a while.

Now for some consistency...

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Hey guys, one question - where the f**k was Shaun Lane last night?

 

[BM1979]

Hey guys, one question - where the f**k was Shaun Lane last night?

He playing today in the intrust whatever it is called I am pretty sure

 

[Johnnie Red]

Now for some consistency...

This is the key right here....we've always had a good roster but have been far too inconsistent.

Reggies and TBH I think that is his spot right now. He has great potential but can miss a tackle and gets caught out defensively.
