Rd 18 Eels v Titans - early team list thread and game discussion

[Joshuatheeel]

While we will be favourites and should get the win, it’s going to be a tough game.

So many things happening for the team while the titans have an easy preparation.

Moses/Paulo in Origin camp and unsure if they will play

side unsure what’s happening with the relocation

first game of the round so really got a limited preparation. Will side even get much training in this week? Assuming the side relocates probably on Wednesday the players probably need Tuesday to sort their stuff out. It’s a pretty big change happening in a sort timeframe

so reckon any way we get the win is good enough this week. Get the win then settle into the new camp / routine

There is also the Opacic funeral.

Titans love a lot of points, both scoring and letting them in. Need to make sure our defence is top notch for this game. We need to contain Mo Fotuaika, top player.

Forgot Gutho is also in camp too

I dont expect Moses or Paulo to back up, especially not Moses. I wouldnt be risking his calves with 2 games in under 48 hours, just not worth the risk, especially given we have a short turn around into Canberra too. 3 games in 8 days for Mitch is too much and potentially risks our season long term if he picks up a tear.

He said a tear not a tear!

I thought he said tear

 

[lingard]

He did, but he meant tear.
