Eels are now 3/7. Had we not blown games against saints,souths and knighrs it be 6/7

 

[Incorrect]

Probably one of Peni's best ever games.

.

Nah, I don't reckon.

He's played better games IMO. Thing is, his standard is going north at a great rate of knots. I said it previously around here, he is my Ken Thornett medalist for 2018. Not much competition granted, but I think he has been outstanding.

I just love how people mocked my judgment. Even Pou said he was a good 18th man.
Im telling ya I can spot talent. I did get Alvaro wrong though. He suprised me.

Sorry @Eelementary I can't see Bevan becoming a first grade fullback. He has all the skills but I'm not sure if he's capable of using them correctly in first grade.

Seems that the one thing I thought Bevan had going for him - his attitude- is what will be his downfall.

Shame, too - nice kid, with plenty of talent.

To be fair, at the time you were talking Peni up, he kept dropping the ball, and getting stopped dead in his tracks.

He seems to have fixed his hands, and is running smarter lines.

Good for him - he is a joy to watch.

He has been much improved in 2018..

 

[T-Boon]

Close but I would go:

1. Clint Gutherson (c)
2. George Jennings
3. Michael Jennings
4. Jaeman Salmon
5. Jarryd Hayne

Cool. So some kid who has played 3 minutes of first grade and not one second in the centres his whole life gets the ball before Hayne as well.

Aren't there a few guys in the first few rows of the crowd that could get in in front of him ?

Maybe he should only get the ball if it passes through 17 sets of hands first.

"I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for Jarryd Hayne to get the ball in the red zone".

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Would he seriously play anywhere else? He’s apparently sacrificed $$$ to come back to the eels. If there’s a decent offer on the table I can’t see him leaving unless it’s to a rival code.

He sacrificed money to come back for a single year. I dare say he wanted to play well to put himself in the shop window for one final pay day.

If he was happy with unders he would've re-signed already.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Come on he was only 19 last year, and King finished the year strong, there wasn’t a spot at the time but BA did see his potential and gave him a development contract.

That's right. Every merkin thought King was the best hooker at our club for the simplistic reason that he came into the team at the same time as Moses.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

However, I think other clubs would be wary that his heart is at Parra and they may not get the same value out of him that we will. Therefore, his external value may not be as high as it should be.

Is his heart at Parra or did he just want to live in Sydney? Like any player who wants to live in Sydney, he has plenty of options.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon the coach will persist with the Liability on the wing.

Didn't the coach hook him today after he gave up on the Don chase?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Im guessing alvaro might be back

I would be tempted to put hayne wing - he did well roaming from wing last game ... salmon centre .... mahoney has proved he can go 80 ... alvaro into that 17, hoff out

Or:

1. Norman
2. Hayne
3. Mennings
4. Gutherson
5. Gennings
6. Salmon
7. Moses

It's pretty much how we finished today, except with Hayne at centre and Gutherson on the wing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Disclaimer; 3/4 cut.

Whom cut the cheese?

 

[ash411]

What the f**k has happened to Peni Terepo? He was fumbling hard running plodder. Now he is ball playing, making busts and is seriously a different player. He has dead set grown a leg.

Could have something to do with that shit coach everyone wants to punt?

 

[Chipmunk]

Didn't the coach hook him today after he gave up on the Don chase?

Perhaps. But he also probably wanted to get Salmon on the field.

 

[Gronk]

Listen to the presser. They planned to yank someone else but needed to yank Bev.

You may be stuck in the 80’s I think, when there were inside and outside centres and they passed to each other!! In 2018 wingers get plenty of touches normally more then centres!!

Anyhow please tell me who played centre in the round 13 Wentworth NSW cup side:

Or can you read this:

“a number of weeks ago Jaeman Salmon was selected in the centres for Wenty in a match at ANZ Stadium. He’s a versatile player, and the coaches probably wanted to see how he handled that position.”
