Team list thread vs Storm

[Joshuatheeel]

FFS!! Gee we have had no luck this year, now Evans injured as he was just starting to show some good form!!

We have forwards Alvaro, Manu, Evans, Scott, Edwards, T. rex, Matagi (not that he wouId be picked) all out or gone. That’s 7 forwards plus 2 hookers all out!! Almost a third of our squad!

When was the last time the Storm lost three in a row?

Probably when they were last playing legitimately under the cap.

Good work "Oggie" set for his NRL debut

 

[TheParraboy]

I tell you what, this is how its gonna play out

We will belt the Storm, beat the cowboys and take the Rooters to the wire, maybe even win that

then, we will all reflect this is how we should have be playing like this from Rd 1
We will also all predict (except me) that we will kill it next year

Hold onto your hats and thongs...

I think T Rex and KE were massive blows, they brought a lot of energy, Tony was lethal before he got injured, on par with Kikau from Penrith imo

 

[Gazzamatta]

King is fit so Will Smith is suddenly injured to allow Mahoney to play up?
Smith did leave the field last game though so maybe thats the case or BA is sneakier than I thought.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Peni has been great off the bench so I'm a bit surprised hes starting.
Did I mention I LOVE that backline.

I doubt BA could get a player to fake an injury so he can pick a rookie over him.

Yep, even Manu was hitting form before his injury.

Yeah probably. Nudge nudge wink wink. Smith is also signed for next season so King only has a few games to prove his worth.

I watched the Sharks V Storm game in its entirety at Yamba Bowlo and I thought the speed of the game was far superior to any game I've seen the Eels play in this season. Either team would have got through their set of six before we even got to our feet on tackle one. I'd like to think we will put a dent in the Storm's final campaign but we will have to be at our absolute best to achieve that.

Are the Kaufusi's related?

Yeah I agree, I'd start Vave and bring Peni off the bench...

I agree! Norman appears to be more suited to fullback, Gutherson to centre and Hayne on the wing with a roving commission makes the backline far more stable. Too bad it took 85% of the season to get it right.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Depends if Mannah plays I guess. He was supposed to be out for 2 weeks and one report had him out for the season.

El dicko would start woth Peni and end with Peni and skip the Vave alltogether.

They're both related to Delta Goodrem.

Kaufusi is Tongan for Nguyen. There's heaps of them.
