Team list Tuesday vs Warriors - Sat 5:30pm

[Gazzamatta]

Hes suspended AGAIN!

 

[Tooooks]

I think Russell to fullback is the better option. Matto has presumably trained at half the last week and this week coming so hopefully he feels a bit more at home there.

If Johnson doesn’t play that should even things out a bit but will be a big effort to beat them.

 

[Redback71]

Gee no gutho or mosses can't see beating Warriors now damn

 

[lucablight]

Who will be goalkicker with Moses and Gutho out?

 

[eels_fan]

So the last time we played without Gutherson was...
2021 Round 25 v Panthers away... losing 6-40.

To be fair we basically rested out entire team for that game.

 

[yy_cheng]

Any chance the kid from the juniors with the double surname gets a go? Or is he still injured?

You mean monty-betham to 8,junz to 6?

 

[yy_cheng]

Who will be goalkicker with Moses and Gutho out?

Jnr, he's apparently a good kicker

 

[eels_fan]

Who will be goalkicker with Moses and Gutho out?

I've seen Paulo nail a few sideline conversations in the post-training kicking challenges they do.

Probably need someone that will be on the field for 80. Can Asi kick?

 

[Tooooks]

I think Bailey can goal kick.

 

[hineyrulz]

Russell can kick goals.

 

[yy_cheng]

I would've thought russel could kick. He looks like a gk

 

[yy_cheng]

But we probably won't score any tries so mute point

Who will take the 1 point fg? Hands?

Will we be the first team in history to use an interchange so we can have someone who can attempt goalkicking?

 

[lingard]

Russell to 1 and welcome back Waqa. Ouch. Thats gunna hurt. Id be surprised if Dyl is available.
1. Russell
5. Waqa
3. Penisini
4. Superman
2. Sivo
6. Matto
7. Asi
13. Hoppy
11. Davey

Were in with a chance

Is there a way you can reconstruct that side without Waqa in it?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Is there a way you can reconstruct that side without Waqa in it?

Yeah.
Its not the team Id select necessarily but I reckon its how BA will roll.
Its been said that BA prefers not to move players around (now days) to accommodate others. That being the case maybe Cini slots in to fullback.
Its just so f'n exciting. Im glad we will have Commbank working for us.
The Worriers last game in the wet V The Bunnies was a hard slog. Might work in our favour.

 

[eels_fan]

If Johnson ends up being out for the Warriors i think we still have a red hot chance - everyone will just need to play their roles well in a dour low scoring game.

They have no attacking shape without Johnson, so i think our defense can probably cover whatever they throw without him

 

[the phantom menace]

I don't think you can count the 2021 game, as that was our reserves getting a game why our NRL players had a rest before the finals.

To be fair we basically rested out entire team for that game.

True... but point is still that we are very inexperienced playing without - let alone winning without Gutherson in the side over the past five seasons.

Warriors aren't duds, and I'm putting this one down for a loss.

 

[the phantom menace]

Interesting on the 2018 season though. Coincidence or Causation, given the overall season we had?

True, it was a bad start to 2018... we had the Hayne at centre experiment going on, amongst other things.

But gee Gutherson's been a constant in our side since returning in Round 6 2018 - didn't even miss any games for us through Origin 2020, as they were played at season's end.

 

[Eelogical]

Is there a way you can reconstruct that side without Waqa in it?

Maybe he’ll have a blinder.

 

[parra pete]

Hopefully not that short that Cini or Lume get a run...
