Eisenhuth played 14 games at Wests this year, 10 of them in the starting side but only one at prop. I wouldn't start him there first up. Maybe Yeo goes to prop, or otherwise I'd start with Leota.

Leota and Leinu off the bench ensure you get impact. Eisenhuth reminds me of Tim Grant does the basics well and that is what you want from a starter. Leota and Leinu are great off the bench

No one goes to origin camp and come back worse.the hunger to get there again will be high.All the boys have been training while in there break .some as groups some individual at various gyms around Penrith .
But all training great to see and full credit to them

Plenty have comeback thinking they are better than the team. Why should they do extras if they are the star now? That is my only concern. Hunger from the players

I think a lot of players play their best under Ivan. Go back and look at the 2014 squad he did well with. Luke Brooks a couple seasons ago. He’s no Bellamy but he gets plenty of guys playing better than they were.

I don't rate Ivan to work well with stars...That is where the assistants come in. He works well with plodders though

Agreed. He is able to get very good performances out of average players. He was able to get his below average 2018 Tigers roster to beat the Storm twice and Roosters once a good example.
Very stiff not to get the Roosters the second time as well. Refs whistle stayed in his pocket in the final 10 as the Roosters continually were offside on their line clinging to a two point lead.

Not sure he tried to murder them. He certainly wasn't charged with that. He did assault a bloke and scared a few people, including kids, out of their wits while on a bender but no-one was seriously hurt. Got community service and deported out of the country. Probably wouldn't have got jail for that here either, Simple Jack didn't. I don't imagine he's paid much of the seven figure damages yet, and not really sure how they (the plaintiffs in the US) can make him. He's only been on decent money a season or two. He'd be sending over just enough to keep the NRL off his case.


While I have no doubt this is true, given his obvious issues at the time, it was not reported until much later, after he was granted permission to play NRL at the Broncos, and he was not charged with it, so there appears to be an element of opportunism about it.
Lodge apparently beat the shit out of the guy, who tried to save the girls, after forcing himself into his apartment. He smashed up the place, and told them ‘tonight is the night you die’. A real nice guy.

After Moylan first origin all the talk was about how he went to another level. Granted he did eventually turn to shit but he came back a better player from his first origin camp, or more confident at least.
