Team list Tuesday vs Tigers - Easter Monday 🐇

[lingard]

Tigers have been absolutely ridiculed this week. From Pascoe in his trackie dacks kicking a footy around on game day, sitting in the dressing room playing with his phone, Sheens’ “hope we beat the bye” joke and Daine Laurie ‘liking’ a Broncos try on Insta.

All fairly minor things in isolation, but it hasn’t stopped the media sticking the boot in. I expect them to have a red hot crack and probably perform better than they have all year.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we flogged them. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we sneak home. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they won.

Sounds like it'll be an unsurprising game for you.

I really like that backline, worried about Lane and Russell's fitness but it just looks so much better.

Don't get why Doorey has been dropped, he has been decent and no worse than a few others.

He’s been better than decent, especially the past couple of weeks. Doorey has been very strong for us. Murchie has been a pillow

Development club ? All Eels juniors .....

Dunster & Brown were born in NZ.

So they qualify as Queenslanders not Parra Juniors.

I'm so happy that our coach is finally making some hard decisions re selections instead of being so conservative. The dropping of Blake is a real positive imo. Curious about Doorey, though. He's been terrific.

 

[Incorrect]

Russell and Dunster both in. I’m pleasantly surprised.

Oh so now you are surprised... I can't keep up with you merkin!!!

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Wow good to see Russell and Dunster back in the team. Also Lane coming back is huge, we definitely missed him out wide. I feel Doorey is a bit unlucky

 

[Black Panther]

Not sure if Hopgood will have any impact off the bench. Being a former Panther, I have watched him closely and has always been a starter.

 

[Black Panther]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Cartwright goes back to the bench and Hopgood starts.

he falls off in defense around the 30min mark so start after 20mins, he shouldnt fall off

Bea doesnt know how to play those mind games.

Unless there is an injury, it's usually this team

So playing U15s is not juniors ? You want a baby factory in the basement of the LC ? Get on it MON !

FFS all those players played Harrold Matts for the Eels. Pretty harsh.

EDIT: Haze goes back to junior reps 2014 when he was selected in the broader squad. He's only 24 now.


Dylan played in the 2016 Harrold Matts GF.

I guess its about minutes. Hopgood will get 50mins at lock. That gives Matterson 30 there. Matto would be good for 80mins. But worse case needs atleast 40mins elsewhere.
That will be edge. So Lane probably only player 50mins I guess.

If we had Doorey on bench who's minutes does he take?
Murchie gets the nod I guess cause he can play prop amd 2md row if needed. I actualy doubt he gets more then 15mins unless am injury to someone.

You need a total of 400mins from your 5 forwards.

Bryce = 80
Rcg = 55
Matterson = 65
Lane =60
Grieg =35

So we need 105mins

Hopgood will get 55 mins
Makatoa 35mins
Murchie 15mins or Hands and Hodgson on field same time for a bit.

Matto and Lane could both probably knock out 80mins also

My little birds told me Waqa won't see out his contract.

Little birds did you say hindy111?

I suspect Doorey has been relegated to get some big minutes into his legs and in turn, conditioning. I’d say he will be back the following week with Grieg or Murchie to drop out once Paulo is back.

Probably not a bad move.

 

[SneakyEel]

doorey has an injury that’s why he has missed the bench this week

Probably not a bad move.

Was looking a little battered last two weeks as well.

 

[hineyrulz]

No Wanker Blake!! Thank the lord!!

Excited to see what Russell and Hayze have to offer. If Doorey doesn’t have an injury I think he’s been hard done by I think he’s been more than solid to start the year.

Grieg has leapfrogged Makatoa I think

 

[King-Gutho94]

You would hope so.

Greig is what 22 makatoa is nearly 30.

 

[hindy111]

Huge chance for Russel and Haze. They both will get two games to impress. And if do Bailey and Waqa won't be seen unless injuries.
