The eels are done with the Frichard, Williams and choc Watmough moments. We either sign players with future potential and/or players who will make a difference. Glenn is on the downslope and will offer nothing we don't already have.
Whoooooooooooooosh!!!!!!! Period!!!1

It’s all about replacing him with a better player. Same goes with Manu.

So as much as both players have either plateaued or even commenced their decline, the whole process will be for nothing if they don’t replace them with better players.

Indeed but when you look at our recruitment and retention for the last year or so onward, it gives hope. I have to be honest, I look at someone like Tep and think they’re close to a dime a dozen in the NRL. Chairman Mau is a level above. Here’s hoping, anyway.

You succumbed to the El Diablo style of logic?

He's f**king shit. Even Justin Hunt had a good game once

100%. The balance is tipped well towards the shit games. And even when he does have a good one he's often got a huge brain explosion in him and is still a shit defender.

Smug Gronky has gone all El Diablo over one game lol.

With a full complement of players Taka can provide excellent utility value off the bench.
Can play as centre or 5/8 can also play as an edge backrower. With his versatility this gives us excellent coverage and better than Salmon at this stage. Good headache for BA

BA said in the presser that Taka is a very good footballer, but he needs to be reliable.

Agree that he has in the past been inconsistent and that’s why he found himself in reggies. Had a great game yesterday however.

Surely we can’t drop Taka next week after that performance. I’d say he’ll be #14 on the bench to make way for Waqa and/or Jennings.

Yeah I think Taka played himself in to next weeks starting team. Even if Waqa is available, he’ll get a week in Wenty to regain some fitness. If Mennings is available, he’ll just slot into Hoffs position

Yeah Hoff has been solid but his spot is not secure. Some of his reads were poor and left Sivo hanging out to dry.
