OK, trivia time. Can you name the year Kenny Edwards debuted for the Eels, the opponent, and the score? Best answer gets 1000 points.

V Newcastle last round 2013

Newcastle won by a 1000

It's also Uelesi's only NRL game .

Daniel Harrison played Ishtar centre

We were beyond shit

BOOM!! 1000 points to you good Sir. Spend them wisely. Or ask your own question. Thrashed 54-6!!

But how do you know he wouldn't or couldn't have the workrate of those guys?

There's very few guys who are great at everything, so by the time they make first grade players are in their 'natural' positions. Outside backs need agility and speed off the mark far more than they need stamina, so they will be selected for those traits. So it's possible that Auva'a could have the endurance to play closer to the middle but it's unlikely. His speed would also be wasted there.

What could one spend their 1000 points on?

Edwards also ran for 100 metres in that game, spending time on both edges. He and Beau Scott exchanged words after Edwards manhandled Buderus in a tackle.

But there are obviously players who evolve. Luke Lewis and Beau Scott for example. John Folau has been moved recently. So I know it's unlikely but it does happen sometimes, and I just thought of it because I don't think he'll ever be outstanding in the backs. And speed still has some benefits even for forwards.

That's the beauty of it, on anything you like!!

Excellent supplementary information...500 points for you!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'd say Lewis and Scott were already endurance athletes (much like Gutherson), so when they slowed down it was natural they moved into the forwards. Neither Lewis nor Scott was especially explosive as outside backs either. I reckon Auva'a is still very much an outside back, though he lacks experience on the wing.

ffs you're throwing these points around like they just grow on trees or something

Man can you imagine if leaves were money?

I'd probably still be poor....

Todd Greeburg is genuinely clueless

On nrl360 - his answers are just dumb .... he is just a politician who waffles crap and deflects

Can't stand him. The sooner he leaves the better. What offends me is that he actually thinks his spin works.

And another thing, wear a tie you amateur.

Didn't Lewis move into the forwards before he lost his speed? He's still reasonably fast now and he's pushing 50. Auva'a just seems a little one-dimensional for a good centre and perhaps a bit cumbersome to be a good winger.

Good observation....500 points for you too!!

The strange thing was, as stupid as Greenberg was, Rothfield made him look like a Mensa candidate

How does someone so stupid comment on the game, his most passionate questions always revolve around the Sharks, then he mumbles about the other issues, he is such a bellend

The participation rates thing was a masterclass in waffling and deflecting.

Hell yeah ... womens and touch footy participation is up .... ummmm, compared to zero

What will help the crowds stop falling .... the government building stadiums .... really? thats our only strategy? ... nothing else the nrl can do? - just wait for the govt to spend money? ... people used to sit in dirt and get splinters in their bums - but they turned up in bigger numbers

I remember when he was at the Bulldogs he gave the impression of someone who was in control and knew what he was doing. When he started running the NRL we've had no finalised salary cap going into next season, awful scheduling of games (e.g 6pm Fridays), poor refereeing and a drop in crowd attendances. He's awful.
