I think he was.

Feel sorry for Ben Henry. If he needs another Re-Co that'll be his 3rd in 3 years I think. Probably needs to get on the phone to Brent Tate and have a chat so that he can realise all is not lost yet...

EELS v COWBOYS

7.30pm at Pirtek Stadium

Eels:Corey Norman (neck) and Kieran Foran (hamstring) are both expected to be fit for the match against the defending premiers, a move which will send Luke Kelly back to Wentworthville.

Cowboys:Antonio Winterstein came off last week with a concussion but will be fit to play on Saturday night.

Problem last week was the lack of any creativity in the attack. Way too predictable. Let's hope that was just round 1.

Yep, in particular our double second man play out to the left. The Broncos easily marked up every time. We need to come up with something a bit different for Semi/Jennings

It was a way to get Semi the ball I guess but it certainly didn't work. Maybe Gordon backing up on the inside would work?

I don't expect much on Saturday tbh, our defence will be very important to back up last weeks over all effort.

 

[yy_cheng]

Don't agree, there were a few times he hit mau running on the inside and he offloaded

So they were mixing it up.

I still think we were trying to be a bit fancy in attack

I was there though

 

[Bigfella]

Gees if we were too fancy in attack i'd hate to see us become predictable chengy

To be fair we really had no halves for most of the match.

Also Peats is not very creative, similar to Gordon.

It will change this week.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

It'll take Ma'u a while to reach the standard of Super Morgs re that 'inside runner / do the Neil Hunt' role.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Against the best defensive side in the comp with a back up half and 3 new backline players (and a centre changing sides) it was also going to be a struggle in attack, then add losing Norman at half time.

Actually thought the second half our forwards were great, making metres / offloading / attacking great, just didn't have the halves to take advantage.

Cowboys defence won't be as strong and we have Norman / Foran back.

We didn't go forward first, that was the problem. That play would have worked better in the second half where the forwards went a lot better.

I just think that it was too early in the season for what we tried as the execution was off.Jennings looked like he was lost and semi's mind was still probably in Fiji.

The dogs, the rabbits all played it simple.

Plenty of time for flashy stuff when the players get to know each other and can anticipate the players inside
