Team v Newcastle ?

[emjaycee]

If thats true we get a better looking backline.

1. Hoppa
2. Robbo
3. Falou
4. Taka
5. Semi

 

[Twizzle]

looks like a real backline again

 

[eels_fan]

Robinson
Folau
Hoppa
Taka
Semi

Looks much better and is actually a damn strong backline

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

I like the look of that backline.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't care for it.

 

[Parraren]

Massoud just tweeted that Taka & Semi likely back this week.

Cannot see any chance of Semi being back, but would be a massive gain for us if he was. Seems too rushed to me

Never underestimate the healing power of Kava

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I don't care for it.

I don't care about this comment.

 

[Chipmunk]

I don't care for it.

Got the rod, reel, lure, hook and bait out again Pou?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't actually but still somehow hooked you. It was just a throwaway line I thought might be vaguely funny.

f**k the rod, reel or hook, get out the bitty and you will at least hook Ron.

 

[Bandwagon]

Not a fan of Falou on the wing, positioning defending the long kick or bomb has been very poor.

Josh Massoud ‏@josh_massoud 19h19 hours ago
Some potential bright news for @TheParraEels: Semi Radradra and Brad Takarangi both a chance to return this weekend @7NewsSydney @7Sport

 

[Twizzle]

its Massoud, anything could happen

 

[Gazzamatta]

Ive never been a massive fan of R Morgan however in my opinion he has been one of Parras best since his elevation. Id have him and Taka in the centers if the experiment of Hoppa at fullback continues. Sorry but Folau is not nearly ready for NRL as yet.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Folau is a slug and always out of position on the wing. Considering how much crap Vai got, he is a hell of a lot better player then Folau.

 

[Bigfella]

They really are very similar players.

Both all power with no sophistication.

I'd agree that vai has all of john's upside and less downside. Less sluggish in defense, and unbelievably, less clumsy with his hands.

 

[Gronk]

At least Vai is prepared to catch the ball in the air. Watching Falou and Hoppa try and catch the high ball flat footed was cringe worthy vs Titans.

Hoppa got smashed taking a high ball flat footed. It's a no brainer for an outside back: take the ball in the air and you're a protected species. Take it flat footed and you're a target for kick chasers.

Toutai is less clumsy with his hands than Folau?

 

[Bigfella]

I reckon he is which is no wrap on John obviously.

 

[Chipmunk]

It's big news if we can get Semi and Takairangi back for this one.
