Round 1 V Eels

[kinghippo]

There should be some good match up this weekend.
I am hoping to see Cleary brush Moses on his way to the try line.
JFH colliding with Mau Mau
Waqa going straight over the top of the lame plane and RCG carrying the eels pack up and down the field for about 200m

It's funny because it's true. RCG going easy on them? Makes sense they'll get going as the season goes.

200 carrying meters he will run for 200 as well

Of course. I forgot to differentiate post contact metres. Silly of me.

 

[Pomoz]

The Eels will be well up for this and Hayne will want to prove a point. I'm not expecting us to win this to be honest. I just want us to be competitive. If Hayne fires this year the Eels are a good chance of going all the way. Moses, Norman and Bevan is a good spine combination, throw in Hayne and Jennings in the centres and gulp, they will be very potent even without Radrada. Brad Arthur has shown he can steer the ship well even with the terrible scandals they had.

Don't forget Gutherson. He's one of their best.

I think he’s out. Back rnd 2. Last I heard anyway. But your right, he’s a gun!

Oh ok. Good for us.

Early mail

NATHAN Cleary will take charge of goal-kicking duties for Penrith this season after James Maloney told him he could have the gig.

Maloney arrived at the foot of the mountains over the summer with a career goal-kicking record of 80.8 per cent.

But the five-eighth is happy for 20-year-old halfback Cleary, who is striking them at a whopping 86.3 per cent, to be the first-choice kicker.

Christian Crichton, a Samoan Penrith junior, will debut on the right wing should Dallin Watene-Zelezniak not overcome an ankle injury.

Dean Whare is also struggling with a hamstring injury.

Watene-Zelezniak remains hopeful despite sustaining an ankle sprain in early February.
If Watene-Zelezniak’s bid for an early return does fall short, he’s a certainty to return for next week’s clash with South Sydney.

“I’ve ticked off a few boxes. I’m just getting ready for this week’s training sessions and we’ll see what happens,” Watene-Zelezniak told The Daily Telegraph.

“I’m scheduled for round two, but touch and go for this week.”

Watene-Zelezniak would line up on the right wing and has had Whare and Waqa Blake training with him at right centre over the course of the pre-season.

Whare has been Watene-Zelezniak’s centre partner for club and country in the past.

“Him and Waqa have been swapping in,” Watene-Zelezniak said.

“I don’t know what the coach will do there but whatever he does I’m sure that person will do the job.”

Whare covered by Peachey.

Would prefer DWZ rests the week. Sunday forecast is very hot. You'd expect the back 3 to take plenty of carries.

Could be a blessing in disguise if Whare misses out.

Peachey will be left. Blake will be right. Whare when fit would surely replace Peachey straight up. Rather than move Blake across.

I think Blake needs to be right centre. Whare left. But in the past Blakes been the guy moving around.

 

[Mr Angry]

I think your forwards have the edge.

But they will kill you in the backs.

 

[Luke Bowden]

I’ll just leave this here for any of the Peachey doubters to have a watch. Although he’s probably lying as well!

We will see about that.

Actions speak louder than words.

He says all the right things but it counts for shit if he doesnt back them up.

I shared it in the rumors thread. Love what he says just hope he backs it up.

 

[mxlegend99]

If he puts in on the field its all good. If he plays half hearted he can sit in reserve grade.

 

[tripster]

The biggest concern I have is our defence out wide close to the line. All the more so with Whare in doubt. We didn't slide well and conceded a lot of tries on the edges. We really need settled combinations out wide (I accept that is currently impossible due to injuries).

Due back when May is. Hayne will be our target given his defence... Gus will send us right

Depends on Whare. If Whare plays we have Peachey on the bench can risk DWZ
