18. Mateo

(1 to be dropped)

Still to early for Hages to make changes to the favoured 17 unless injuries occur.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Well because they won I doubt anyome will get dropped but the win was really more good luck then anything else.

 

[Morenito]

Mateo should be the number 17 this week no doubt.

Lowrie to stick to premier league.

Grothe should be back

If Fui Fui is back i would drop Hindmarsh to be honest but would probably be one of Cannings or Cordova. Could also be Cayless by default if he is injured?

 

[Utey]

Mateo into the 17, I think Lowrie picked up a hand problem in Prems too.

Richie P has to be there, had a blinder in Prems.

 

[Gronk]

I was happy with most of the boys last night. Cannings was the only player that struggled to look the goods. Fui will fix that. Maybe Fa'aa'aa'aa'so. I was surprised with Ian H, I thought he was great in attack and very solid in defence.

My view is we need to concentrate on the kicking game. We hardly put any pressure on them last night. Our failure to put the ball deep in their territory time and time again meant that most of the game was in our half.

whos Richie P?

what position does he play?

 

[Stagger eel]

Richie, after lastnights performance should bloody well come into contention, he scored a couple of trys and was an absolute menace to the Magpies defence.

I don't think we'll be seeing Lowrie for a little while as he has a suspected broken hand.

 

[eels_fan_01]

Stick with I.Hindmarsh. I know he hasnt been to great but i really think with hes brother there that he can start playing good footy as he did when he used to play for Parra.

Ben Smith hasnt done much this year, i havent really noticed him on the field to be honest.

 

[Twizzle]

don't think Ian Hindy will be available after looking at the replay of his tackle and Lowrie apparently has a broken hand

we may see one of the PL boys make a debut

 

[varion]

Ben Smith has been a rock in defence, saved us on the try line MANY times. Sure he needs to work on his attack but cant fault his defence.

If he improved his lateral movement in D he would be just about the best defensive centre (ala Matt Cooper style) in the NRL.

 

[The Colonel]

Fa'aoso should be the first bloke in. Carved the Magpies.......

 

[Kornstar]

Fa'aoso should be the first bloke in. Carved the Magpies.......

Agreed

 

[Twizzle]

his ball handling would need to improve on what I've seen

 

[The Colonel]

Was more than reasonable last night......

 

[Twizzle]

thats good news

no doubt he is a tough player, but gee his ball handling was crap when i saw him

 

[Jake the snake]

Asotasi had crap ball handling when he started off, He was hopeless. Now he is the best prop in the world. The Natural talents that Feleti and Fa'aso have you can't teach and it will cost you big $$$ later on if you try to buy that talent but ball handling is coachable.

fa'aso and green done very well in PL.. but it'll be a bit of time before we see green..

 

[Stagger eel]

Fa'aosso was thrown in the frontrow with the inclusion of Lowrie and played and ran like a centre.

yea tsolous came off the bench.. fa'aoso got it going when he scored the first try..

most of the runs he made kept on pushing their defence further back..giving us some momentum
