Rumours and Stuff

Simmonson will play wing and Harper start at centre.

That is my guess.

Matto to be purely a middle.

I'm wondering if Harper has more experience on the wing than Simmonson?

 

[Soren Lorenson]

That’s because he is considering Hands a backup half as well so he was being tricky with his words. I’ll bet anything that if we lose Gutho mid game then Hands would come on and Dyldo will go back there.

I'm wondering how we have ended up discussing who is better out of harper and simmo

Reminds me of the days of Cheyse Blair or Ryan Morgan.

Hands definitely took up the challenge in both trials. Played himself into our best 17. But I also don’t think he’s an 80m player yet so Lussick to start, absorb the early heat then Hands to finish the game

Recent BA interview:


Around 5.20 bench make up:

- we don’t have an “outright” utility in the squad
- is considering having a second hooker on bench moving forward
- Tuilagi can cover centre
- Cartwright can cover halves

Sources are telling me Brad Arthur won’t win the comp this year either. Very early yet though.

You better not let me catch you badmouthing Billy Rogers.

Seeing as Moses has played fullback while Gutherson has been off the field, I'd think Moses would move there, over Brown.

I only say brown as he was the one who replaced gutho in the game last year when gutho got injured

Was that when moses was injured? Usually it is moses. One time bailey and yes one time dyl

I hope everyone enjoys today.

February 29th only comes around once every 4 years. So enjoy it.

Especially those who unluckily celebrate a birthday today.

Anyone know someone whose birthday is on the 29th Feb.

I wasn't born in or around a leap year so I haven't come across many yet.

I used to work with someone with it and they kinda hated when it came around because they would normally celebrate on 28th but every leap year they felt obliged to wait the extra day

Apparently we'll be sitting 2nd after 6 rounds this year.... would be a nice change on last year..

R1: Bulldogs, CommBank Stadium (W)
R2: Panthers, BlueBet Stadium (L)
R3: Sea Eagles, CommBank Stadium (W)
R4: Tigers, CommBank Stadium (W)
R5: Raiders, GIO Stadium (W)
R6: Cowboys, CommBank Stadium (W)

Meyn’s verdict: The Eels were one of the great disappointments of 2023, but should burst out of the blocks with this start to the season. Parramatta showed some good trials form and will fancy themselves in every game to start the year, even against their bunnies the Panthers. Hopefully success-starved Eels fans have learnt not to get too excited after the opening month. Prediction: 5-1

4-2 should be the bare minimum from that draw in the first 6 weeks imo. Especially with 4 games at Commbank

yeah agree. Canberra in Canberra has always been a bit of a bogey game for us, but at least its before it gets super cold. we should be banking all those Commbank games
