Tactics versus Eels

What do we change for next week?

1. Return to last year’s two passes off the ruck to mix it up a little.

2. Risk spreading the ball in our own half a little to utilise our weapons out wide.

3. Get Brailey kicking from dummy half (and running)…

4. Fix up the defence on Moyza’s side!

Kick early, spread the play, don't try and match their middle as it won't work.
Leave moylan at home, bring Adam Dykes back instead.

Our record is solid against the Eels and until we list 3/4 of the bench we were holding our own last year at Commbank.

Holding the ball and building pressure would be a good start.

Having Hunt back would be great as well. Given he wasn't named last week I suspect he's another week or two away.

Hynes is out again
Hunt won't be playing.
Graham out.
Williams need to pass HIA protocol.

Fix up the middles in defence we need to stop there forwards rolling downfield.

Put pressure on Moses.

No showboating before scoring tries.

I dont think there's enough time for Williams to pass HIA protocol, he needs 7 days I thought and we have a 6 day turn around.

So Hazelton in for Graham

Tracey in for Williams ? ... I don't like it but just wondering what Fitz will pick. Need a fourth forward imo. Not many left with Hunt and JC injured.

Eels are built around their pack like most teams. Beat their pack you beat them. Moses, gutho can’t play off the back foot.

Easier said than done though. Their pack is good

It’s missing a bit from last year though atleast

Oregon
Niukore
Papalli
Matterson
Lane ?

Hopgood is a weapon though

Bring up Hazelton and Calhoun, put Iro on the bench. Let’s try playing smart. Don’t give them anything.
let’s go , ‘next man up’ Connor Tracy ( if fit) into 7.
I think Berrelle should get some time, it should be competative.

Did you think Trindall played badly?

And if you think Berrell is the answer at 9, there is a problem

We definitely need a couple more big boofy blokes , especially against a team like Parra whose strength is their big forward pack. And I thought Trindall played very well last Saturday, Moylan not so well.

Calhoun is injured and won't be available for some time. Connor Tracey could come into the backline if Sifa is picked to return to the forwards, which might be out of necessity.

South’s are a top 4 team, we struggled in the middle yes but im not making a million changes. Trindal played well but is massively different to Hynes particularly with his running game Nicho easily makes 100+meters a game and really gets defence on the back foot along with his early long kicking game. Throw in Hunt and Hazelton the rest sorts its self out.

Hiroti was 19th man, give Ronaldo a week off as punishment and the spot is Hiroti's to lose then. Complacency CANNOT be allowed to creep in.

None of that common sense in here. It’s all about panicking and demanding team changes after Rd 1.

Can’t argue with that, happens every year. Next we will be getting petitions to get Mansour into the team from the jets - just play him anywhere, that will work
