Team list Tuesday vs Manly Sat 5:30 @ Commbank

[Angry_eel]

Playing well and improving week in week out.

Simonsson's 200 run meters with no kick return meters and 58 PCM is a sensational effort, regardless of the opponent.

Simonsson could go pear shaped but I think he's been one of the best turn arounds under BA

A little like Gutho you might say, although it has taken him longer.

Was Gutho a shit player? He had injuries I know. I don't remember to be honest. 2016 was a long time ago.

All I know is that he became "The King" in his first year here.

Tbh, if bailey or will goes down, waqa is the next best option

Shame that cini cant get his defence right

Hard to work on your defence at centre when you play fullback in CUP.

He was really shit on the wing at first. Dropped high balls and got dragged back alot.

Then he worked on both and became really consistent.

With the high balls, he has his hands up so that you can see your hands and the ball at the same time. This is a cricket technique. Russell now does that and i reckon it's under Guthos Tuition

Next, he learnt how to get to ground fast or use his centre of mass to prevent being dragged back.

If you watch dunster when he came to the wing, he had this problem too . But again i Reckon guth helped him and you see dunster get to the ground quick.

It is what makes guth so good because he will work on his deficiencies. And now willing to pass this knowledge down

If you read the reggies forum, ppl say they have up on him in defense and shoved him to fb to hide his defensive issues. Bit like ponga

Yeah but basically he isn't going to get any better at tackling when he is at centre.

They have Lumelume at centre and his defence is terrible...

So I assume he is gone after this year from the club.

We finished last year with Simonsson playing centre and Waqa on the wing and we did well. Not sure by BA flipped that around to start the season.

Waqa got exposed under the high ball and that was it.

I don't like waqa as he has no heart, he makes a mistakes and gives you a dumb look.

He doesn't get up and chase back doesn't do the effort areas.

He was probably a star as a youngster due to his physical prowess but his mentality is shit

Waqa mustn't have listened during Gutho's tutorial's then how to catch a high ball.

Someone on his money shouldn't need guthos tuition

Blake is without doubt one of the dumbest Eels to pull on the jersey.

I actually dont think you can train and practice for that.
That exact moment shows his elite athleticism perfectly.

To have your frank and beans exposed and a stupid look on your face before dropping it takes practice.

Get your own place JA, you little f**ken loser.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

The old BA wouldnt have hesitated. Im kinda liking version post round 10, 2023 thus far.

Maybe releasing Jake has taken away some pressure and now he is making clearer decisions

Kid moved out then runs from the club! Smash him Baldy!

Why is there no Thursday night footy this week but 3 games on Saturday, makes zero sense. I know there was a Monday game, but that doesn’t really matter (there was a thurs game after our Easter Monday game).

surely fox gets better ratings on a Thursday night than on a Saturday at 3pm?
