Rumours and Stuff

[hindy111]

I think they just keep the stats they had when the profile was put up. In that case Dunster’s would be more out of date, and therefore less reliable.

Yes. I recall one year the updated them. But most the time it never changes after they make NRL debut. I'm unsure if half of them are an estimate but I've read articles where a player talks about their playing weight and it doesn't match up.
As I said from what I've hear Haze is rnd 100kgs

We signed him to 2027 IIRC. Squad player like Jake. Stocking filler if you want a Xmas reference. Sometimes they come good like Ray Stone, but mostly not.

Did Ray Stone come good? I think he was and is just bog average player. I much prefer Murchie,Doorey and Hopgood

Accept you're wrong and stop digging.

He won't accept he's wrong mate, he needs to change his user name to The Pedantic Menace.

Sivo was also first choice in round one despite being unavailable. Deal with it.

How do you know Sivo was first choice... did he play in any of the 2022 trials? Was he named in the Round 1 side for 2022? Hell he didn't even play in the last 2 rounds or the finals in 2021... how can you assume he was first choice winger for Round 1 2022.

I’m confused now are we saying Dunster of Russell is a better player as wing come round 1

Yes

Sivo is obviously our first choice winger. I’m with @Poupou Escobar here.

So am I mate, but using Bart logic, neither Sivo or Dunster could have been considered first choice wingers for Round 1 2022.

That says to me we lack depth in the backline then, Sivo is one of the laziest Eels ever. I think he needs to get way more involved that said he is the only first grade standard winger at the club starting round 1. Dunster and Russell are both unknowns big pre seasons coming up for them.

Well someone's got to #factcheck the nonsense that gets thrown around this joint...

Russell, not Dunster... that's kind of the entire point you've missed here.

Simmonsen and Russell were first choice wingers in Round 1 2022. The team list is linked below, it's very simple... https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2022/03/12/team-list-update---eels-v-titans-round-one/

If you were trying to discuss who was the club's topped ranked winger/s in season 2022 - that's a different story altogether - and as #poulogic would probably have to agree, has nothing to do with the sample size of a single round/round 1.

don't worry, give em a few games each and we will think they are both shit

What utter rot.

Russell will be in there somewhere. Dunster I’m not so sure of. Sivo is a good winger, mate. I think you are being harsh. His try scoring record is fantastic.

Well you sure showed me.


How many time is he not backing up the play?? How often does he come in to do the tough stuff when the team is doing it tough?? He’s twice the size as someone as To’o but half the ticker. He’s a great finisher and dangerous from 10m out but that’s about it.

Actually, if you bothered to read the conversation with the context intended and be less high and mighty in your attempts to always be the pedantic smartass, you would recall that the discussion the grown ups were having was relating to the probability of Dunster v Russell for Round 1 2023.

My comment was that in my view, Dunster would be preferred (for 2023) because he was preferred for 2022 (yes, I said Round 1 Mr. Pedant). You started throwing team lists out there and discounted injuries as a factor in team selection in your typical "how do I make @Poupou Escobar look stupid and myself look smart" manner and here we are now.

That's fair but him and To'o are different types of wingers. Don't expect the same from them both.
If we can't have a To'o, I'm more than happy to have a Sivo who certainly knows how to finish tries for us.

Yep, Sivo is a finisher of the highest order.



Happy to have him limited in other areas.

I remember when Semi was running over the top of front rowers and still listed as 98kg
