Rumours and Stuff

Actually Fatfita has been much better for the Tits this year, and most of those Cows players are young with plenty of footy on front of them. Unlike most of the over hill out of form Blues players picked. Teddy being the skipper once again hasn’t helped.
If you ask Manly fans, DCE has been out of form since 2011. He often looks ordinary behind Manly’s pack but in Origin he does fine. It’s a team game, and stars step up in good company.

As for Tedesco, the problem isn’t that he’s out of form, but that he has declined. He’s still playing his best behind a beaten pack at both the Chooks and Blues. It’s just that his best isn’t enough to make a difference these days. Paulo has always been a sluggard in defence. He isn’t too old, he’s just not suited to the speed of Origin. He never was. Frizell was one of our best defenders on Wednesday. He was the least of our problems in the forwards. Hudson Young was picked on form (not talent) and he let us down plenty.

Paulo to me looks like he needs to lose 5-10 kilos.

Hudson Dumb was picked on hype, everyone said he was origin tough and made for Origin. Every time I’ve seen him in a big game he’s disappeared up his own datehole. Yeah and Teddy is cooked, his whole game was built around speed and agility and he has lost both.

Its not about Origin. Thats done and dusted. Its about the Eels making another grand final.
And that means picking our best players, which includes Ofahengaue. It doesn’t include Makatoa, no matter how hard he’s gone against a couple of bottom eight sides.

It’s not just my opinion ffs, it’s a statement of fact! Haven’t you been taking bartman seriously?!?
Its definitely your opinion and its noted.
Im sure Bartman is a very special guy but there can be no established fact as we are speculating on a future outcome.
