Team V Souths

[Djay]

I would go with;

6. Hayne (ditto)
7. Robson
13. Mateo

11. Hindmarsh
10. Moimoi
9. M. Keating
8. Cayless

14. K. Keating

No Mitchell? You gotta be kidding.

I would have it like this.

1. Hayne
2. Burt
3. Inu
4. Tahu
5. Loko
6. Humble
7. Robson ( I reckon his sh*t, but I'd leave Morts out until next year)
8. Cayless
9. Mitchell
10. Fui
11. Hindmarsh
12. Smith
13. Mateo

14. KK
15. Mannah
16. Horo
17. Poore

IMO Kris Keating had an absolute shocker yesterday and has hopefully played his last game for us this year.

 

[eels81236]

First grade are useless, so lets pick even worse players.

1. Inu
2. Wright
3. Ben Smith
4. Horo
5. Tahu
6. Mateo
7. Burt
8. Manakafoa
9. Mortimer
10. Pele
11. Te Maari
12. Filiga
13. Robinson

14. Hayne
15. Lasalo
16. Mitchell
17. Burt (c)

Are you serious? What sort of idiot would go in with a team like that.....

Robinson is injured!!!:sarcasm::lol:

 

[True EEL]

I'd love to see the transition of Hayne to 5/8, last year his playmaking was abit shoddy but I really think he's got what it takes to be the best 5/8 in the comp.

yep, i got tired of saying this for the last two months and getting shouted down like i was an idiot on these forums.....

 

[Avenger]

Mortimer to 6. I don't care who plays 7.

 

[bartman]

I don't think Mortimer has earnt the right to retain the 6 jersey in the remaining games this year. He'd learn more and develop his game better having two games with Wenty imo.

1.Hayne
2.Burt
3.Tahu
4.Reddy
5.Inu (but give Grothe a final game if he wants to play before he presumably leaves)
6.KK
7.Robson
8.Cayless C
9.MK
10. Mannah - fair enough, we should swap our starting and bench prop combos depending on the qualities of our opposition
11.Hindy C
12. Smith (if he's fit)
13. Mateo
14. Mitchell
15. Horo (or starting if Smith just wants to test his return from injury)
16. Moimoi
17. Poore

I'm not sure of anyone else demanding a promotion, or who would benefit from the hit out at this point in the season (ie a losing point) who hasn't already had some fill-in time in firsts.

 

[Stagger eel]

I would have Ben in for Lassalo who has done a reasonable job filling in for him and I would give Ken Sio or Jono Wright a run ahead of INU who's been nothing more than imposter in a parra jersey virtually all year.

Morts also needs to play for Wenty in the next 2 games, I don't think it'll qualify him for the finals but he needs some game time before the year is out to gets some confidence back.

 

[parra pete]

Eels by 30

 

[natheel]

inu even when he scores a try does not look like he wants to be out there i honestly think he already has his head in NZ.

chuck in Sio over inu, give him a run!

been very impressed with mitchell, keep him on the bench

f... kk off and put humble there

 

[strider]

Eels by 30

oh come on! get real ffs

by 40+ for sure

 

[Stagger eel]

I want to ask this question, what the hell has Jono Wright done wrong?

 

[strider]

just for the record ..... i'd:

- put morts in for KK
- ben for lasalo
- give mitchell more game time (bring him on before half time - i reckon he could cause some damage running at tired forwards before half time ... if he gets tired he can come off later in the game)
- start poore with fui from the bench .... we tried it against penrith and yes we started slow, but penrith got lucky early on .... fui is tremendous impact off the bench - fui and mannah together are great

 

[strider]

well there was that try he let in against penrith where he didn't take the ball dead

 

[mrpwnd]

If Mitch ain't ready for an 80 minute game, i'd at least bring him on at the back end of each half. Having below average consistency from MK for 50-65minutes a game won't help us.

 

[strider]

i don't know why DA has NEVER tried to sub the dummy half before halftime .... he never did it with kinga and not this year with any of the half a dozen alternatives we've had at #14 ..... i think a nippy #14 could do a bit of damage from dummy half just before the break - mitchell seems a bit nippy

 

[Stagger eel]

well there was that try he let in against penrith where he didn't take the ball dead

ok..then.

so INU gets away with about 55 similar errors and is still in the side. :lol:

INU's performance against Brisbane was one of the souless displays from a first grader in this club..his positional play before the Tigers first try was dreadful.

 

[Avenger]

Inu has been sh*t, is sh*t and Ando discovered it before all of us.

 

[Stagger eel]

Inu has been sh*t, is sh*t and Ando discovered it before all of us.

problem is, he continually rewarded him with a first grade jersey..

 

[lucablight]

Inu has been sh*t, is sh*t and Ando discovered it before all of us.

In all fairness Inu was a great player at the end of 2007 and had a pretty good end to 2009. To me it looks like his confidence is shot and that seems to be the way he is playing.

He has also lost at least a yard of pace.
