Team List Tuesday: Rnd 24 v The Storm (Sat 28th Aug 2021) - The Annihilation Story

[The Predictor]

I

Oregon and Will Smith dropped.
Hipgrave needs a run and Maka Maka deserved to be retained.

l don’t mind Hipgrave…can someone remind me the last time he played? and why the SuperCoach picked him for this specific match? good luck Keegan!

 

[King-Gutho94]

He’s probably the back up dummy half. Lol fkn lol.

Wouldnt be the 1st time he has gone for an unusual dummy half choice against Melbourne. The first time we played Melbourne in brisbane back in 2019 magic round. BA thought he would outsmart bellamy by dropping mahoney to the bench and naming peni terepo at dummy half and basically playing without a dummy half for the 1st 25 mins.

It was a coaching masterstroke Bellamy was that rattled Melbourne put 64 points on us and BA got a contract extension

What a footballing mastermind he is, pure genius!!

Do you think Kafusi was dropped? I reckon BA knows we will lose and is getting some match time in guys just incase we need them in finals. Last thing we want is two guys in side who haven't played in 6 weeks. They are having a rest.
Next week I reckon N.Brown,Papali'i, Lane, Jnr won't play or will get small minutes.

The blue print

Keep errors to a bare minimum
Kick chase to be Tom Gleeson HARD
Score more points
Line speed to be ruthless

Also pray there is a monsoon like conditions similar to round 2 that will drag Melbourne back to the field and negate their free flowing attack and speed in JAC and papenhuyzen.

Yeah, if he didn't do that, we would've probably been beaten by 100!

 

[Eelogical]

Lol Kaufusi dropped, gets f**k all game time now he’s out of the side. That bench is aids, Ray Stone lol. If any forward needed to be dropped it’s Nathan “Handbrake”Brown.

We don't have hand brakes anymore, mate. They are now called park brakes. Some even say e brakes.

 

[Eelogical]

Two very small benches. In fact the Storm are lightweight across the board.

Apparently, small is now better than big. I'll just ask the mrs to confirm.

 

[Eelogical]

Trying too hard, getting in the way and overplaying his hand is doing a great job for the team. Just like his captain.

If only the coach talked to him.

You want the 'perfect storm'???

 

[Twizzle]

Looks like the band is back together in Fergo and waqa.

will let in more points in than we score, disappointed not to see more of Russell

He should rest the lot of them. Send the lads on a bus to Longreach and a cruise on the Thomson River followed by dinner at Smithy's. They'll come back winners.

[I'm a loser baby...]

You can get $9 on us now, c'mon Eels, load up and get the money for a new coach. Even BA will appreciate the irony.

I don’t think dropping him is necessarily the answer though. Back him to work through it, which I guess they have.

Lol....he also done it on other occasions , I think he put Kenny Edwards there once against the Roosters in 2016......

Bushy has the same mentality as pou, he thinks its all about stats and shit.

Meh!! He looks tired a rest night do him the world of good. Paulo as well.

 

[strider]

tbh Kaufusi has been a bit meh ...... but a bench with Stone and Hipgrave doesn't really make me like the look of that team

 

[Matty Bhoy]

perhaps with Hippy named, it’ll be reduced minutes.
