RD 19: Parramatta Eels v Souths at Pirtek stadium 7.40pm 18/7/14

Only 4 sleeps before a massive game for us

Mathematically Id say we need to win 5 from our last 8 to make the top 8, so whilst not a do or die game, we really don't wont to wait to win 5 from our last 5 to get there cause we wont be able to win that many in a row

Hopefully get some troops back and Hayne has a blockbuster.

 

[The Colonel]

Would be nice to have Edwards, Mannah and Hopoate back alongside Hayne. That would be of benefit.

I think Mannah is the only one that won't be back.

 

[strider]

Has there been any word on Hoppa? .... his injury is obviously far worse than first thought

 

[Y2Eel]

I think BA held Hayne back as he knew Hoppa Edwards and possibly Mannah will all play this week..

 

[hindy111]

Sio is fit too yeah? I think it will be a close game.Parra might just have a bit too much fire power


I hope lol

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I think Sio will play. not so sure about Hoppa though.

 

[Y2Eel]

Would you drop anyone for Sio? Toutia Has played well, made some good reads in Defense..

 

[Strangenuts]

What's wrong with Mannah?

 

[hindmarshisgod]

Must win game

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Good plan. Btw, what happened to Edwards this week? Why didn't he play?

 

[Y2Eel]

Twizzle has him tied up in his basement...

 

[emjaycee]

I hate must win games.

 

[strider]

I just love how the last 3 games have all been "next 3 games are make or break" - Storm - loss; Knights - loss; Warriors - loss .... now the next 4 are make or break :lol: :lol: .... we've gone better without all the must win games

 

[TheParraboy]

I think this game is a crucial game for us for a number of reasons

2nd last game at Pirtek Stadium for the year

3 losses in a row, we need a kick of confidence

a win should propel us back into the 8, a loss potentially down to 13th position

a lot to play for

 

[Obscene Assassin]

If Hoppa isn't fit can we put Moeroa at right centre?

From a fans perspective, they are all valid reason for the team to get out there and play well. I don't think the players however have the same reasons for drawing motivation as the fans.

The players motivations will more likely be
- got spanked last week
- let my mates down
- let myself down
- let my coach down

Oh well, will try harder this week but up against a top 4 side, dunno how we'll go.

And that is the issue we have had for the last 5 years.

When do you reckon was the last time he played centre in league?

I'd say there is zero chance he will play centre at NRL level. Even in the NYC he would be wasted at centre, besides being unsuited there.

Thanks, Arthur's.

If Arthur's picks him at centre I'll change my opinion. Until then we can assume Arthur's agrees with me.
