Rumours and Stuff

Decent player but there is no X factor about him meaning that he is a plodder.

Well yeah... He's a depth piece.

Starting thirteen is set for 2021, forget names like Welsch/Joe O. Its just back of the roster guys for 2021.

I’d rather him then Joe O from the donkeys. He’s a 500k a year plodder.

John Asiata anyone?
Decent variety of skills that could make a decent bench option

 

[Soto]

Because we use the tall aerial threat we have now so well

Its evolving...give it time

Well said. Sometimes merkins seem terrified of putting Barry in his place.

Not me.

 

[lingard]

Na you shut up. Or I'll tell mum.

I've already told her. And she's not happy!

Hey fellas,
What do you guys think of Josh Reynolds on a 1 year deal with an option in Eels favour as a replacement for injured D Brown? Considering that he probably wants to leave the Tigers and play some footy/finals footy, could be good as he is experienced and is a smart footballer. He also gets the opportunity to show clubs what he can do with a strong forward back.

Would rather Marshall, I think. Reynolds is experienced, enthusiastic, energetic, great team-man; but I wouldn't call him a smart footballer. but agree that Reynolds is probably better than Field.

 

[lingard]

How much would he demand? I reckon 200k.

What's the point in forking out even two dollars for something that is useless?

Are you hollering for a Marshall?

Apart from the forced injury to D.Brown the team picks itself. We haven’t seen much squad rotation at all. Do you think that will be to our detriment come finals?

We have seen the Storm, the Roosters and the Raiders with wholesale injuries resulting in of forced changes. Those sides are now getting refreshed players coming back are are arguably better for it.

These 65 min games by our middles and 80 mins a week by Lane could be having an effect.
Poor sqaud and bench use

Benji last game is to be moved to Leichardt.
This won't be a easy game for the Eels.
We need to win 3/4 to finish gauranteed top 4. With Brisbane,Penrith and Tigers coming.
This and Brisbane game are must wins. Copping a passion g last week was a double blow as our for and against is now only 10 points better then Raiders. Almost like another loss.
I can only see Raiders losing this weekend and then winning out. Positive with that is Rooster maybe 4 points behind after this weekemd and they play 3 more top 8 sides.

Wow ... our draw has been terrible .... we get whacked by Mary's last game ... and now Benji's last game .... we are cursed .... not like the panthers who have been handed the unicorn draw

Copping a passion g last week

A "passion g" ... sounds like something that might be fun

Our middles look fried, I know we did lose some bench players for a few weeks but 18 games in a row and then finals it was always going to be a balancing act. Once again you would have to say another tactical fail from Bea Arthur.

Which other players have been rested i.e. not injured, suspended or dropped?

Exactly .... teams arent flat out resting bunches of players

Not if it's anything to do with a Kenny G
