Rd21 2024: Eels v Storm GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium July 26th

[hineyrulz]

Said when we lost Reed Hands should have been given the 9 instead we went another way....

Bea Arthur didn’t want him in the top 30, that was a MON Nathan Brown call.

Gee I wonder why??

 

[Nutz]

Imagine…

1. Paps/Faalogo
2. Vunivalu
3. Lomax
4. Blaize
5. Simmo
6. Drown
7. Moses
8. RCG or Paulo
9. Hands
10. Offa
11. Kelma
12. Matto
13. Hopgood

14. Gutho
15. Guymer
16. Cartwright
17. Morretti

Number 6 brings his own bucket of water

We need some speed in our backline that’s

The metamorphosis of Penisini into Waqa Blake needs greater discussion.

Will is a player that needs early ball... He will never be a player that hits an outside line to beat a defender... Sad that our coaching staff and supporters can't see that

 

[Nutz]

Kelma is in my fantasy coach team, when is he back as I'm running out of trades

The best defensive 6 in the game?

He needs to learn to hold the ball

Doesn't look bad!

Need another front rower on the bench. I also wouldn't have Matto as a second rower maybe swap Matto and Guymer then put Joe on the bench instead of Carty.

Can't have Blaize over Penisini either.

 

[JokerEel]

Kelma is in my fantasy coach team, when is he back as I'm running out of trades

What was he suspended for 4 games and I think his injury was 5-6 weeks so must be back soon..

6. Drown, brings his own bucket of water, get it....yeh OK it's pretty poor joke, me bad.

Only needed someone to come in and play dummy half for 2 seasons

 

[Gherkin]

I actually like hands

Showed a bit of craft around the ruck tonight, was probably a bit unlucky not to get a couple of 6 agains catching markers not square. We need someone to back him up in the 14 next year. The turtle isn't an option

Will is a player that needs to learn to catch and hold a ball, hit and stick and make smart decisions. He needs to learn this in reserve grade.

He was starting to hit his straps, pity.

I’ll accept all your changes except for Penisini over Blaize. I’m calling it. The Penis is the new Waqa.

 

[TheCrowe]

Someone explain to me why its Ryles number one priority is to sign Blaize by promising him fullback.
That headline has popped up on my phone 10 times this week.

Me too. They made it real easy to switch off the TV tonight.

Don’t mind it Happy, however
- RCG definitely over Paulo
- Matto to be traded out and replaced with anyone we can get who is a team player. I would even maybe persevere with Doorey or have Guymer on an edge.
- would start blooding the big unit who played in the 19’s Origin off the bench as another middle

I’d keep him at centre. Put lomax at fullback

 

[Soto]

Tago is up there with one of the worst that has ever played for us. He is looks like a school kid out there. It’s not like he’s having a crack he’s just shit.

Cmon he started the yr in Ron Massey Cup.
He is having a go but just doesn't cut it as a 1st grader...he is literally 8th choice or so.
Let's just say imagine he was in a winning side he would look alright.
Don't for one moment think I'm suggesting he's a 1st grader but he's have a massive go and that's all we can ask with so many players out..
I still reckon Cini and or Lumelume should be ahead of him...but at least he's having a go

Id put him in reserve grade till he earns his spot in FG.
