RD7 V Tigers ANZ Stadium

[Gazzamatta]

Based on last weeks performance Allgood had to stay. That said he was ordinary the week prior so I hope he not again due for an average effort this week..
Gower is one player I believe is really doing his job week in week out.
Peni has hands like feet and can be very lazy in defence despite his torpedo type running style.
Fui is my major concern. Last week he was very ordinary and the painfully slow play the ball returned with a vengance. I hope Fui isnt being selected on past efforts. Id hate to think he is being picked as Luke Burt was when his contribution became less that NRL level. I dont think BA is weak like Kearney was so Im expecting a much improved Fui this week. If not I think he may be shaking hands in the NSW Cup Coach shortly.

We always move 2 games - Souths and dogs. This year it is Tigers and dogs. What is the big deal?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I suspect that if Peni had a stronger game last week he'd be named instead of Fui (it wasn't one of his best)...and it won't be any surprise if that's actually what happens anyway.

It's not good. If we lose any of these I will be filthy. Two points is invaluable.

Tigers to kick start the Eels wooden spoon run with a 50 point thrashing.

I agree Maroubra, I mean at home we probably win both these.If we loose both that's 4 valuable points.

Actually me and two friends didn't get season tickets for the reason that there is I think 7 or 8 games at Pirtek.I emailed them personally and asked if they do a Pirtek stadium games only membership and they said no.I have no interest in going to a 1/3 filled stadium in the middle of nowhere.Atleast in parra I can get a nice meal afterwards.
They turned me down.Shame

You and your two mates should pack a hot lunch, IYKWIM.

I suspect we are actually starting with our number 1 and 4 props, and bringing props 2 and 3 off the bench. There's no way Fui's a better player than Lussick.

Lussick is more so a lock I reckon.
He won't be in the prop rotation, it will be allgood and Gower.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

In your opinion, what is the difference between lock and prop?

 

[Joely01]

I think there is more to Terepo being dropped then just a poorish game on the weekend.
I think Arthur will rotate to younger guys around to keep the squad fresh. Tanginoa had a few games, then got dropped, terepo has had a few extra games, thanks to suspensions. And Pauli has now had a couple of games.
I think he will continue to rotate these younger guys.

 

[Joely01]

In your opinion, what is the difference between lock and prop?

It depends on the way you want your team to play, I think our team sums that up perfectly.
Paulo and Lussick are completely different locks, Lussick will do the dirty work, Paulo will do more of the ball playing.
If Paulo is our lock then there is a bit of difference between prop and lock.
If Lussick plays lock, there is much difference at all.
Lussick you will find is probably a bit fitter then the other props so can get more minutes out of him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Gower definitely played in the prop rotation against Manly - 36 minutes off the bench, with Paulo (63 minutes), Tanginoa(23 minutes) and Terepo (45 minutes) also on the bench. But since then he has played less than 30 minutes a game (29 minutes vs Penrith, 18 vs Brisbane, 24 vs Easts). Gower played a bit of edge forward on the weekend too. He looks like more of a utility forward.

 

[Joely01]

Gower has a very good offload, if Hayne and Sandow can start following him we have a nice added attacking structure.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

You really have a problem with him don't you?

Have you not realised that it requires a problem before one becomes an Eels fan?

 

[Casper The Ghost]

His name is Mitch.

:lol:

T-Squint sounds like a rapper from the early 90s.

It's the nickname for his penis you f**kwit.
