If true, and personally i doubt it, who would Smith come in for?

Maybe Allgood to drop off and Smith to the bench or Edwards to the bench with Smith starting is my guess.

I'd jumped on your thread to wish Parra good luck in the game.

But after reading through some of the posts, I had to check twice I wasn't on the saints forum. For a team that is on the same wins/loss as the Tiges, but further down the ladder, FMD some of you guys have got your tools in hand.
I get that you are excited this year after all that misery, but the unfounded arrogance and stupidity on here is amazing.
The whole league scene is full of warm and fuzzy feelings towards BOTH our teams stemming from their success this year so far.
Just to make it clear to the tossers, the only reason that Parra's success gets a higher mention is because of just how ordinary you lot have been. You came from a deeper depth of shyteness.
To hear you lot spouting about thrashing this, and points diff that, is funny. Especially when it's against a higher placed team.
It reminds me of a wooden spoon team's fan saying they will beat the current comp leaders, based on the intelligently composed "just because".
It will be a good game. It should be a close game. If you understand only 1 thing about footy, there is no reason to suggest it will be a thrashing. Either way.

Again, I get that you are all excited. Neutral fans are wishing both our teams well because of their starts. Don't turn them away by being arrogant arseholes.
There is such a thing as a gracious winner, too.
Talk is cheap boys. Enjoy the game.

the longest post in the thread (apart from casper, as expected) ends with "talk is cheap" :lol: .... i actually agree with you wholeheartedly Rosco - parra fans looking for a big win are off their rockers!! .... i mean it could happen, we could also get thrashed - thrashings can happen in hte nrl any time a team doesn't turn up - but there is no way i expect us to have a big win - just any win will do

Don't take things so seriously champ. If anyone was talking about a thrashing I dare say it was tongue in cheek.

We don't need people to remind us we are shit. We already know that.

Only person I've seen who says we will thrash the Tigers is Green River Eel - and that was on the Tigers' forum.

I'm nervous about this game.

Good defender but given the way the side has played since he's been out, and given he isn't one of the players the team is built around, I'd be thinking he should be playing for wenty waiting for an opportunity to get back in the team rather than walking in to the side.

Senior players have a valuable influence on the team though. The loss of Tonga and Smith to injury has hurt our on-field leadership these past two years.

Don't forget we've been playing better without Lussick these past four games as well.

I agree smith doesn't have the best running game, but he is a stronger defender then Edwards. Maybe Arthur prefers him over Edwards because of his defensive capabilities. Arthur puts defense first.

Especially with Sandow on that side. The Roosters made big inroads on our right side late in the game last week.

I think if you had Tedesco and Farah, and we were missing Peats and Hayne, you'd be expecting a big win too. Wanker.

Just wanted to say it's so good to see the Eels doing well after the previous 3 seasons they've had, and also playing a nice brand of football this year!

Hope you keep it up and make the top 8 this year.

yep fair points. My thinking is that when a team is playing well, unless its a player that will give the team something extra that no other player currently in the squad can, then you keep the squad the same if you can. I'm not sure that Ben smith can provide that unique something extra, although given the way the tigers have attacked maybe Ben smith's defence is something we will need.

Just dropped by to let you guys know that I've watched the Eels this year and it's fantastic how well you guys are playing.
I wish you well for the rest of the season and I hope you smash the Tigers on Monday. All the best guys.

I dunno what that Tiges fan is on about?

Read through thread again and it is mostly about who is or isn't a half; a healthy dose of crap; and some weird Casper stuff.

Ok, i didn't read it again, but all our threads are the same.
