Team V Eels

[The Popper]

Yeah, I agree. I counted 10 out at one stage. This has been the worst year in the club's history in my opinion. And to think I backed the Sharks to win the comp at the start of the season. Instead of looking at our team I shoulda just looked at the boardroom and said `no way'. Silly me. :crazy:

 

[The Popper]

But on the credit side, Gal could be a late inclusion.

 

[Inferno]

Brown to the centres, Pom to the Bench and it's a far better side.

5 Props this week as well, wonder when was the last time we had that?

 

[Inferno]

Throw in Gall or Toops and hook the Pom completely and we might even have a chance.

lol millers

thats twice tonight i have seen you issue a nice guy disclaimer before tearing the eyes out of a post - what gives?

i prefer the self confessed bitch within tbh

on topic - we need simmo to get us across the line this week

his experience and ability to cross the stripe would be an asset

 

[Inferno]

He'd be the first person I'd call up if Fergo or Covell got injured.

 

[Surely]

a good a place as any to explore the 'oh woe is me' 2009 excuse

13 Bird - toops has equal and arguably more talent



STILL ricky has his excuse and it is being swallowed

flaME AWAY

Argualbly Toops has never worn the 6 for australia, and as i understand it we have a shortage in that position.

millers Ross played 19 last year and Kearney played 20.

I do appreciate your point that we lost a lot even with Baz, Toops and Gal playing but we have missed blokes like Kearney and Ross all season. We struggled for a long time to fill the fullback role and altho Snowden has really stepped up of late it took him till probably halfway through the season to do so.

Its been a horror season by anyone's standards but I dont think you can ignore the role injuries have played. Two of our top line players plus Bird missing the whole season hasnt done us any favours.

 

[sharknows]

May as well all slash our wrists eh..... I'll bring the razor blades to the legends bar after the game sunday!

 

[island pro]

yeah my thoughts exactly but there is no other option , who else is there ?

years gone f**k it , as long as we dont get the spoon

Eddie Paea has proved a handy first grader in the past, and Green has not, so why choose him?

2nd tier salary cap mate , i wish he could give Eddie a game he is a turnstill but has more ball playing ability then porter.

it hurts me just as bad to see him gone too surely.

 

[millersnose]

toops hasnt worn the 6 for australia surely

and andrew johns never wore the 1 for australia

and steve price never wore the 3

wow i could go on all day

All very good then, no 5/8 required.

I concur 112%, Porter to 5/8 Paea to half.

actually i thought the sharks recruited a high profile 5/8 for 09

i could be wrong though

Yes apparently they did, but we were well aware of his nickname before he was signed.

I hope we didn't pay GST on him.

That's true. I guess there comes a point in the season where it's just not worth it.

 

[topKing2]

i expect changes

is this just a co incidence?

4 games without Ben Pomeroy in the centres this year --> 4 wins - average of 2 tries against.

14 games with Ben Pomeroy in the centres this year --> 1 win (rd 1) - average between 3.5 and 4 tries against..
