Round 10 TLT: Eels v Dolphins

[The Predictor]

yes he is

Established kicker ?

 

[Twizzle]

Established kicker ?

he kicks goals in the NRL

 

[Timana]

He kicks off

 

[the phantom menace]

Hmm, pretty much copy and paste... if you count Doorey's return to the NRL bench (this week in place of Tuivaiti).

In Ryles style, I don't expect anyone named #18-#22 to come into play when the squad is trimmed ahead of match day, unless there is an unexpected injury.

Dolphins by... 10.

 

[84 Baby]

So we just continue to pay Shaun Lane his full wage to just sit at home and do f**k all?

I’m sure he contemplates life or plays Super Smash Bros or something

Lane's not doing f**k all... he's carefully considering whether or not he has a future in the game!

When was the last time you tipped Parra.

I am curious just that you back the opposition every week no matter if were $1.10 favourites or $10 outsiders.

Surely once every now and then you can go into a game expecting a win.

I don't keep track of my weekly tips, would have to look back... but I think I tipped us to beat Tigers on Easter Monday (saying that would be our first win in the first win thread)? So I was only out by one other result before that.

Looking ahead, I think we'll pick up more wins in the second half of the season than the first... but if Moses is picked on the bench or #18 for Origin that might bring us unstuck in a few matches.

I think this week is a very winnable game.

Honestly ill judge our current setup more on this week close to full strength at home against a team that has won 1 game in sydney in 2 and half years of there existance

Then the Darwin game depleted or a trip to Melbourne.

This is more of a yard stick game of where we see where Ryles and the staff have the side at.

Does he ?? debatable

 

[Pazza]

Is it time to debut mataele

Dolphins by... 10.

Sharks #22 played,
Raiders #22 played
Dragons #19 played,
Manly #18 and 19 played,
Dogs #22 and 21 played,
Storm #21 played

So out of 8 games this, Ryles has named a player #18-22, 6 times....

 

[Gary Gutful]

I like the look of this useless pack of shitbag wooden spoon seeking f**knuts.

 

[RustedonEel]

Does it really matter? It's not coming out of our pockets. It's a matter between Lane and the Club, none of our business. We have no idea of the demons he may be wrestling with.

 

[Soto]

Butler in the bunker again. I hope we've been practicing 2, 3 or even 4 players running into the same gap play

How was this impostor not given a holiday for a month for his negligence...
So many bad calls...probably got a payrise and a bonus

I'm happy with the changes under Ryles, happy with where things are heading for the future.

Just think the squad this year is still short two (decent) edge forwards - not Ryles' fault. And then the first choice team just needs about four weeks with the same line-up all available to hit their straps as good as they can for this season.

But weren't all of those due to late injury? Rather than the #1-#17 player being dropped or demoted to Cup...

I know Doorey played Cup last week, but I suspect that was due to a late decision on return from injury confidence etc.

 

[The Predictor]

This weeks forward pack is well below par

 

[eels_fan]

We’re favourites and I don’t particularly know why tbh…

the dolphins team this week is stronger than the one that put 40 on the storm 3 weeks ago.

Tuivati is a big loss, strange to say for a rookie, but the bigger body coming on for junior I think was working well. Guymer is lucky our second row stocks are so poor.

I have everything crossed we get a win, but I was almost more confident vs the sharks tbh
