SMH late mail June 8

[Gronk]

Parramatta back-rower Chad Robinson is in doubt for tomorrow night's clash with Canberra with a groin injury. Eels coach Michael Hagan will give him until today to prove his fitness. If he is ruled out, Weller Hauraki will join the bench, with Ian Hindmarsh likely to replace Robinson in the starting side.
Canberra's Glen Turner will have a fitness test on his injured hamstring today, with Trevor Thurling and new signing Nigel Plum on standby.

with the weather being what it is, it's probably best that we rest Chad and play Weller.

 

[Twizzle]

that explains the 18 players being named

 

[Utey]

Bugger. Would've liked to have seen him back up last weeks performance.

 

[hindmarsh4pm]

chad is a great defender and with hindy out, we will need him there to do the same sort of defence hindy does, if robo is out, ian and wags will need to step up

 

[bradeel]

Agreed that N. Hindmarsh and Chad will be missed in terms of defensive workloads but I wouldn't think that Wagon could step up much more than he has been doing over the past couple of months. The guy has been outstanding both in defense and in carting the ball up when required. Hopefully he'll continue on tomorrow as he has been throughout the season so far.

have to agree with your wagon comments. i reckon he is having his best bloody year ever ( thats my travis impersonation ) :lol: :lol:

If it's a groin strain, the last thing you'd want is a slippery surface to run on. Rest Chad, give Weller another crack.

 

[hineyrulz]

Chad has been great since he returned from injury, but Wellar showed enough on debut to suggest he will get the job done.

 

[Phillips]

Wagon's 01 yr was his best, he may be going good this yr but is no where near the level he was back then..

Yeah in 01 he was 18th man for Australia in a game, i think.

 

[redeel]

a solid defender ,not a big fan ,but does earn his pay

 

[Utey]

He's not getting any younger mate.

He just doesn't have the creativity to play 5/8 anymore. No need to diss.

 

[Parra Guru]

I'm not having a dig but I always wonder, considering he's played a bit at 5/8, why he never passes the ball when he plays lock.

 

[bartman]

I don't remember that being a big part of his game when Smith made him play at 6 either, PG. Nothing wrong with sticking to what you're good at - as long as the coach plays you in the right position.

 

[Utey]

Who can forget the ball he threw for Burts try vs Cowboys in 05'.

 

[Join The Bandwagon]

any news on Robinson. Is he playing?

 

[dazeely]

as a matter of fact any news on Benny, Finchie & Chad. At different stages throughout the week I have read they are all in doubt.
