Rumours and Stuff

[Twizzle]

love to see Russell get a run at fb if Guth was injured, he's played plenty of fb and he looked good last weekend

 

[Twizzle]

An upgrade on Superman at centre is definitely a priority. Moving our star 5/8 there is definitely not the answer.

agree with that, I wouldn't move him there just as an upgrade on Superman

Tigers.

Wouldn't be the only club that does it.

I reckon 85-90% of NRL and AFL clubs official membership tallys are made up with gimmicks that boost the numbers.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I'm sure some of their fans are upset about it.

Just like I'm sure the Penrith-supporting families on my street don't mind, because a Premiership is worth more than a gimmick match.

Would Penrith rather win a Premiership, or the World Club Challenge?

Parramatta has never lost a world club challenge so not sure what the pain is actually like losing it.

For those close to the inner sanctum of the mighty Eels Is there that much difference between Sanders and Lynn?
Moving Dylan or Guth to accommodate Sanders at this stage I don't think is beneficial for anyone bar any opposition.
If Lynn is almost as good as Sanders then set him free and invest time and energy in Lynn....just my 2 cents

Further to this, canbraaaa looks like they have a very handy Ethan themselves. Strange they would be looking appease one Ethan over the other.
I think Raiders Ethan is probably better from what I've seen last 2 weeks. Yes small sample size but there wouldn't be much in it.
I reckon we look to do a player swap and get Savage or Mooney..prefer Savage as he won't get a start once Rapana and Kris are back and we are short on back up backs

You would hope we have done some training while Gutho was recovering from his injury over the off-season with better planning and contingencies if he isn't there for any moment.

He was off the ground for 120 mins last year and we let in 15 tries in those 120 mins.

I'm sure that the first club in nearly 40 years to win a threepeat is miserable right now...

I have a cousin that doesn’t like jokes also. Bit of a miserable merkin but not the worst bloke.

 

[TheCrowe]

Either Savage has lost some pace or Russell has gained some.
Im hoping its the second.

I think Savage has explosiveness off the mark and Russell gets quicker the longer the run..

 

[Stevie]

Do we have a trials game day thread or what?

 

[TheCrowe]

Watch Russells explosiveness off the mark to chase. Ive watched it many times.

 

[JokerEel]

Savage is a dud we already have enough of them no thanks

 

[Soto]

Disagree...he's better than all those next in line and probably needs a change of clubs...I wouldn't be writing him off

 

[TheCrowe]

I think if he cant outrun Russell then I just cant see a place for him.

 

[Parra Pride]

I must be off my head, but I judge him on his origin performances, and he has never dominated.

If origin performances meant anything for winning a comp Hayne probably would’ve scored a hat trick in dragging us over the line in the 2009 Grand Final.

Better than Cini? Possibly but he isn't better than Simmonoson or Harper.

No I said next in line...cini Lumelume etc...just like Khan pereira just needs a sniff and he's off

No.just no he is shit doubt he plays first grade again unless at a desperate club

See my only concern is that cini Lumelume and dunster are the next in line and that scares me...talagi will be good but don't think ready yet...hopefully Simonsson isn't injured..although Harper I thought played well barring 1 silly kick...anyways go u mighty eels

Will they be the next inline? I see Harper slotting into centre and Simmonoson to wing if we have a winger go down.
