Rumours and Stuff

[Stagger eel]

But what's this new shirt that Gutho talks about? I thought it was a new team jersey and he's leaving .

I got no idea what you're talking about...if it's an instagram or twitter thing than you'll need to explan it to me.

So

So What was the point of your reply?

You said “Yeah, some of their tries mightve been dropped balls but they beat our defense easily and ran great lines. We weren't doing anything close to it”

I disagreed and showed why. If you just want to argue that they scored more tries than us then don’t bother with the other shit. Yes they converted their line breaks to tries better than we did, but we broke more tackles and converted them to line breaks better, despite having less ball. Those are just facts, and they aren’t negated by the Sharks scoring more tries.

smaller, quicker, fitter

He might be better suited to dummy half than Hopgood but he’s also better suited to that middle half role he currently plays. That’s the position with more opportunities to run the ball, because it isn’t reliant on the markers being out of position.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He’s a narcissistic asshole and loves being told as much….the PUNISH THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!!!

Take it to the personal attacks thread

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Walker’s skill set is better suited as first receiver though and we look 1000 times better when he comes on to do that role. He’s the second coming of Jim Dymock. He could play hooker but I don’t think that’s ideal either but at this stage I think Walker in his role is more important than Hopgood in his.

ffs

Sure

But let's say Smith get a cat 1 concession in the first 10 mins, who do you play at hooker for the rest of the game????

 

[Timana]

Brandon smith would’ve been a good signing to play the first 20 minutes at hooker then move into the middle later in the game

who else as he's signed with the wabbits

Hopgood. Ryles actions has sort of indicated that. He used Hopgood last week to give Smith a break in the second half.

10 mins sure, but 70???

 

[JokerEel]

10 mins sure, but 70???

You would thinking Walker would go into dummy half if Smith is injured early on in a game same as if Moses/Brown goes down.

 

[JokerEel]

Dom Young anyone?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

10 mins sure, but 70???

Yep, I say there is pretty much no chance Walker is moved to hooker (unless Hopgood is injured too). He is too important as a "middle half" for us.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Dom Young anyone?

Going back to Newcastle

Can you imagine if this was the tigers or a battling club who paid big money for a winger and its been a disaster where they are moving him on 18 months into a 4 year contract.

With it being the Roosters the media will probably laud them for being proactive

 

[lucablight]

Dom Young anyone?

He was fantastic at Newcastle before he left but he seems to be a very dumb player.

 

[Lemon Squash]

He's an athlete first, Rugby League player second.

 

[84 Baby]

ffs

You might be better suited to dummy half, you dummy!

 

[hineyrulz]

Did he run over your dog or break up with your sister mate ? Your last dozen on him are OTT salty.

He must of run over Ryles and half the Eels fanbase dogs then, Matto has been a busy boy just not on the field as usual.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sure

Hopgood

Do the Knights need him?

We could have some speed on the wings with him and JAC!
