Round 1 Eels V Broncos

They do not even know if its his Hammy or if he felt scar tissue

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Hammy is the name of his penis so maybe there really is an issue there. Lots of experts looking in on his hammy as we speak.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

All our big new signings in the halves seem to develop hammy problems, Humble, Foran.......

I really can't choose which of those merkins I want to punch in the face more. I reckon Wilson because of name and his face looks a lot more punchable.

I'm surprised they didn't go with #clubincrisis

Humbles problem was his calf, Haynes main problem was he was too big for his news. And Kelly's biggest problem is he's just shit.

I was told there was an old friend training with the boys today.

Difference was Humble's hammys were his hands

Ron Hilditch?

Was definitely a 'hammy' in his last year ;-)

Paul Carige has finally returned.

 

[Basil Brush]

I am going to assume Jarryd.

Or Hindy making a comeback.......

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

You are all so close!

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Except Basil, he got it right.

 

[Basil Brush]

I have a fairly strong feeling he may be back with us next year, but it all depends how his year goes this year

 

[Gronk]

Roosters. Done deal. :roll:

Ok, so we are all a bit down about Kelly playing

BUT

to be fair to him, I think he might go 'ok' tomorrow night.
He has a seasoned campaigner outside him in Beau Scott, who has a great mind for the game.
He has a dynamic playmaker in the centres outside him in Takairangi.
He is clearly NOT in line to win a first grade spot, no matter how well he plays.

For me, Kelly is notorious as a poor playmaker, a bad decision maker, and someone who tries to hard to prove that he is a first grader. None of those things should be a major issue. Just pass it to Taka early and back him up, and listen to Scott.

The major concern is his kicking game - it is either halfway decent, or sub abominable. My gut feeling is that it is sub abominable when he is trying to prove he is a first grader. Hopefully he just kicks a bit as a backup this game.
(I am working on the assumption Norman is our main kicker in general play now, ahead of Foran)

Hope springs eternal...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but Sportsbet are offering $4 for Parra to win and score a try.

Max bet only $30.

My point is that obviously the betting agencies are starting to write us off.

Move/delete this if this is not the right place for this.

I wouldn't read too much into early season promo bets.

We are clearly underdogs in the game, and so we should be. But we are a credible chance I reckon. $2.80 - $3.00 would be fair odds for the win, incorporating uncertainty regarding Foran playing or not.

We only just lost up in Brisbane last year with a worse team. Was only the last 10 mins.
At home and a better squad even without foran we are a 50-50.

the problem is kelly passes the ball 15m behind his support players so no matter how early he gets the ball to taka, taka will have to run back to get it.

I do agree he tries too hard.

What I hate about him is that when he makes a mistake, he always finds someone to yell at and blame him.

Hope the ball goes left anyway
