His first instinct would be to only run rather than setup 2nd rowers etc


Sanders did look good. Though it was 1 game and Asi looked good in 1 game.

i do hope dylan saw how sanders feed the centre. next year hes gonna have someone like a lomax or penisini or talagi at left centre. give them the footy

I have never seen more overdramatic fans than I’m seeing some eels fans being right now online. Comments about “wooden spoon” and “season over”. Mitch is due back in two games. Gutho would be due back in round 12/13 of a 27 round comp. Eels are only one win outside the 8

I reckon we were holding out for Moses to return before sending Gutho for surgery.

my guess is Moses has made some positives strides and will be back next week

Talagi
Russell
Penisini
Harper
Simo
Brown
Moses (C)
Joffa
Hands
RCG
Carty
Matto
Hopgood

Sanders
Paulo
Kelma
Maka
Mitch has ALWAYS been a fast healer from injuries throughout his entire career so nothing would surprise me

What is there to lose seriously.

We are already long odds.

Going with the same shit and expecting a different result.

Our best chance of maybe shocking Brisbane is if Moses is fit is probably having Dylan out the back and keep Sanders who was steady enough in the halves to partner Moses.

Sean Russell & Bailey Simmonson are both un-coordinated ball players that wouldn't threaten Brisbane if the Broncos players were pissed drunk walking down church street to the game.

It was good enough to move Dylan to centre a few years back when there was an outside back shortage.

If we have a steady enough player in Ethan to hold the fort at 5/8.

Drown is probably best fit to replace Gutho at FB when it comes to fitness and he has a running game out the back with some ball-playing skill that can threaten the defensive line.

You never know until you try.
I really would like to see Dyl in more space.

He could be a Manu at FB. I just think the less he has to plan, scheme and guide the team, the better his game would get.

He is an instinct player and I reckon he will get more opportunities there

Can’t see it happening. I’m curious to see what our brainiac of a coach will do. He is awful at shit like this.

Even if Gutho is out for the full five weeks Mitch is coming back in like two weeks and Gutho would be due back in round 12/13. That’s like 14 more games of a 27 round season with both of them playing 🤣

Have you seen our last month of footy?? We have a tough run home with a lot of away games and our F/A is in the toilet. Once the Donkeys put the cleaners through us it will be season over.

The last month without Mitch. Remind me how the first month of footy this season went with Mitch leading the team around the field

We were pretty average against a crap dogs side put up a good effort against the Riff and got out of jail against Manly. Patchy at best.

We are boned.

As my pop used to say you can shit in one hand and hope in the other and see which one fills up first. I can see a hand full of shit in the not too distant future.

If that's the case that's a bit silly putting a players knee 2nd I'm a game they where most likely going to lose.

Whilst i dont dislike the idea of Brown being trialled at the back, i think at this stage his importance in our defensive line is too high. Especially coming up again the speed on the broncos on their edges. Brown covers and closes multiple gaps every single game.

If we were retaining Sanders, i could see that being a transition we make in the offseason to get Gutho out of the 1 position and with a few months to work it out, but we are not retaining Sanders so unless we have a quality 5/8th being recruited none of us know about - there is no point weakening out halves to potentially strengthen our fullback position.
