Lussick and Joe Paulo... nahhh

Neither has played for Wenty this year. Paulo has played every NRL game too.

 

[The EELiminator]

you couldn't really call that game a win its just a loss we got two points for

 

[phantom eel]

Based on the 17 guys who've played the most number of games so far this season:

1. Hayne
2. Radradra
3. Hopoate
4. Tonga
5. Sio
6. Norman
7. Sandow
8. Mannah
9. Peats
10. Junior Paulo
11. Ma'u
12. Edwards
13. Joseph Paulo

14. Gower
15. Terepo
16. Pauli
17. Moimoi

Players that could arguably be in our top 17 were it not for their games off through injury this season:

Lussick
Smith
Mossop

Young guys that have debuted and (so far) kept their spots beyond the obligatory 2-4 matches, and look like they're coach's preferred choice of the next generation:

Moeroa
Fariamo

Players that have played under 10 games but featured as preferred inclusions at different stages of the season, as handy back-ups to the preferred 17 whenever injury or bad form struck:

Allgood
Morgan
Toutai
De Gois
Kelly
Tanginoa

Guys that got one go (through desperation?), and probably aren't in any future plans:

Hunt
Lasalo

What this all means for who's off-contract, might be re-signed/let go, or who might make our top 17/25 next season... I'll leave it up to the usual conjecture!

When did Lasalo get a game?

When did Lasalo get a game?

Cowboys in Townsville

 

[phantom eel]

Late inclusion off the bench in Round 8 away at Cowboys? We got schooled in the second half that day.

 

[Gronk]

The Darwin merkins have taken a shine to our side.

Nice to see that they were introduced as the Dyldam Territory Eels.

Only just beat the raiders, pretty lucky actually, once again Hayne saves your bacon.

Hayne took a pass on both occasions. Anyone could have scored the first try.

Any player who is the Dally M leader and highest try scorer in the NRL could have scored the last one. :sarcasm:

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Ha ha you are a deadset goose!!!

At least we defeated the raiders. You lost to the sharks and they are coming last!!! You couldn't even protect a 22 point lead in that game.

f**k off !!!

Edit - where did his post go?

To be fair, Hayne did set up the first try with that sublime example of quick hands to put Semi away.

And secondly, how would you know who the Dally M leader is...

(shut up oldie, not this crap again :lol

I mentioned to my Mrs when the replay of his first try was showing, Hayne puts Semi away then backs up to score the try, while Morgan is just jogging in background letting Hayne do all the work again..

Hayne had to run past Morgan to get in position to score that try..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

As the decoy, Morgan was stopped by the defenders. Though I agree he could have pushed harder to support the break.

He wasnt really stopped he had time to follow up but he just excpected Hayne to do it all...

 

[Joely01]

Anyone who thinks hat 2nd try was easy needs to think again.

It was sublime speed, he had no right to get between the fullback and the winger in cover defense but he did it, and made it look simple.

Tell the truth, you only ever see what you want to see??? Surely???

Which defenders prevented Morgan from supporting the play? He was miles in front of Hayne and in perfect position to support if he wasn't just jogging....

His decoy run saw him 'pop out the back'

Mind you, I'm not sure if I was looking at Morgan or Hopoate....

I don't think "anyone" could have scored that try, but a player with some speed would have.

But it takes nothing away from Hayne - to change direction like that and accelerate away like he did...sublime.
