Round 1 Eels V Broncos

Foran out is a massive blow. I've got to ask the question how is it possible that in the off season they didn't manage his chronic hamstring problem ?

Luke Kelly has proven to be a dumb player. Consistently takes Wrong options. So disappointing that Cornish did get a go.

It is a bit frustrating. Why did we pick up Cornish only to play that useless merkin Kelly in front of him?

Oh well, I suppose BA knows best....

Cornish is a left footer - therefore plays on the left, like Norman.

In terms of round 1 as a stand alone game v the Broncs I don't think it's as big a loss as it seems.

Foran's timing was way off in attack with just a 3/4 trial and the switch to the right, and playing with a new club (including a new right centre and a right winger new to the club and new right edge back rower).

Fact is that our best chance of points is likely to come from the left or otherwise from line breaks : offloads on the right.

Foran didn't kick well the other night either. Kelly's kicking game is erratic but I'm not sure that for a single game it's as big a blow as it would be later in the season, or against a weaker team.

Kelly will prove all you haters wrong, he's the best solid back up depth money can buy!!

"We’ll see how he wakes up tomorrow morning and then we’ll see how he presents at the game." Arthur talks Foran

Im guessing he'll wake up pitching a tent. Whether he wants to present that pre-game or not will be very interesting. :oops:

BA knows Foz won't play.

It is just a ploy to keep the thoroughbreds guessing.

They are my third most hated team behind the Dogs and Manly. Storm are not far behind but I don't consider them a real team.

I'm more interested in seeing how defence goes more than our attack.
Foran is a blow but best to rest it now, it s a long season.
