SMH: Eels' new halves pairing set to fix an old weakness

[Poupou Escobar]

He might.

I'm fairly certain the plan is to play Hopoate at fulback when he gets here, which means Hayne to 6 if he's not there already. That's if he's still at the club.

As for Hayne shifting this year, it all depends on how Roberts goes. Both form and injury.

 

[Craig Johnston]

imo roberts best position is a bench utility.

best combination for me is

1. hayne
7. sandow
6. maguire
9. keating
14. roberts

But I thought you said Reni would play 6...

So you should have no trouble finding a quote then.

I said if Reni spends any time at 6. And then I said I only think that would happen if Sandow or Roberts got injured (if Sandow's injured, Roberts moves to 7).

But if everybody's healthy then Maitua will play as the left edge forward in jersey number 13.

That's what I reckon. I think if Reni wears 6 then something has gone wrong. Probably injury.

Yesss, but you said that "as for hayne shifting this year, it all depends how Roberts goes. Both form and injury". So who is it that you have replacing Roberts? Hayne or Reni??? at which point I said: I thought you said Reni...

It's a bit late to shift him there again this year, next year could be a different story though.

Ah ok.

So personally, I reckon Maitua will play 6 before Hayne does. At least this year. Since Hayne at fullback will be such a key part of our attack, moving him will disrupt that too much. Reni, on the other hand, is easy to move from left edge forward to five-eighth because the two positions are right next to each other in both attack and defence.

That's just my guess though; Kearney might have different ideas.

There's still the last week of this month and all December.

Would Kearney have different ideas from yours? He`s a brave man.

If he keeps picking that merkin Luke Burt he'll have one more death rider on his arse, that's for sure.

 

[SDM]

I hope the entire first grade squad play shit all year. But I will be glad to be proven wrong.

Death-riding on the fence 101, am I doing it right?

it's not getting an 8 or above, which is what we need to have a premiership winning forum
