Team list Tuesday Rnd 21 vs Sea Eagles 🦅

[eels_fan]

I reckon Manly will be a rabble. There is rumours of a split and I 100% believe there would be. Regardless of any justification, half the team walked out with finals on the line, and given how poor the roosters were last week, a full strength manly likely would have won. Animosity would be thru the roof from the boys that played. I reckon they’ll crumble and struggle to win another game.

we just need to show up with a good attitude and we’ll get the biscuits even without Moses

While scrolling through that list all I saw was schlong !! What is wrong with me

Same thing thats wrong with me by the looks.

 

[Legal Eel]

This is

Whilst I don’t think young Arthur should be our only option as back up half and think the decision to promote him to the top 30 was the wrong one, I will be supporting him. I hope the young bloke goes well and I hope that Gutho, Dylbags and Judas Mahoney step up and support him. It’s on the rest of the spine to take the pressure off him

this is spot on - whomever comes in to the spine, be it JA or Perham, it will really be on Reed, Dylan and Gutho to step up big time!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You'd think it was obvious.

Interestingly, fewer 18 year olds have debuted in the same period (and both of them are gone), but more under 22's overall. Also more of them have gone on to become rep class, though I'd say this just points to the Storm's superior junior recruitment. There's also been a few nuffies in their mid-to-late twenties.

Outstanding Pou. You really are the man with the stats. Thanks for sharing. Probably further validates everything we/most of us have been saying.

Maybe one of your kids will fall over and break a leg Friday then you won't have to watch the Eels play..

Cute thing to say.

 

[Soto]

That's disgraceful. U should be ashamed of urself

 

[JokerEel]

That's disgraceful. U should be ashamed of urself

Why wishing a player is injured is exactly the same thing you dolt..

 

[JokerEel]

That's disgraceful. U should be ashamed of urself

I would be more ashamed of your spelling.

 

[hineyrulz]

I would be more ashamed of your spelling.

You are well named.

Soren started it.

Thank you

I don't think it validates anything. The Storm are a massively wealthy team alone in a non-rugby league town, so the demographics of their youngsters will be very different to ours. A better comparison would be a midrange Sydney club at about our level, let's say Manly or St George. Here's Manly's debutantes since 2014. They have had slightly more debutantes under the age of 22 (though fewer 18 year olds) however far more of them are in their current top 17:

Age on debut	Merkin
18	Bainbridge
18	Trbojevic, Tomislav
19	Fainu
19	Hopoate, Albert
19	Koula
19	Parker
19	Schuster
19	Trbojevic, Ben
20	Cust
20	Fonua-Blake
20	Fulton
20	Kelly
20	Olakau'atu
20	Paseka
20	Satini
20	Weekes
20	Wright, Tomislav
21	Garrick
21	Keppie
21	Knight
21	Lussick, Joey
21	Saddler
22	Chee-Kam
22	Funa
22	Littlejohn
22	Waddell
23	Miski
23	Smalley
24	Andrews
25	De Luis
28	Seci

It's not because he doesn't like Brad Arthur's kids. Big difference.

 

[JokerEel]

It's not because he doesn't like Brad Arthur's kids. Big difference.

So it's one sentence and you are saying he likes BAs kids?

Or

It's not ... Because he doesn't like BAs kids?

 

[Happy MEel]

Schuster was the only one of the rainbow 7 to not be picked.

I wonder if he was he the ring leader.

That’s an outstanding euphemism

 

[the phantom menace]

Full strength / first choice pack.

Full strength bench - assuming Makatoa and Kaufusi remain higher in the middle pecking order than Nathan Brown, Nuikore is our edge benchie, and Cartwright is the utility to cover a spine/backline injury.

I guess it's an almost first choice backline - except for Moses missing through injury.

If we lose this against a fractured Manly squad, then we don't really deserve to make week 2 of the finals or beyond anyway...

Absolutely validates everything.
Proves unconditionally that even manly has promoted and debuted a shitload more players than Arthur's.

 

[Soto]

Don't deviate from your lowlife comment.
Ur a sick individual wishing someone's kid to break a leg in comparison to someone staying injured. Get professional help. You sure need it

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So it's one sentence and you are saying he likes BAs kids?

Or

It's not ... Because he doesn't like BAs kids?

Yeah, it's not the same thing, because he likes his own kids. Of course he wouldn't wish injury on them.
