TEAMS: Eels vs Roosters Rd 12

[Hindyscrack]

Smith/Smith is still a better option then Morris/Smith IMO

 

[Suitman]

Gotta be excited with Fui starting again.

I hope we get more than a starting 14 minutes out of him. :roll:

Can someone fill me in on Cannings?

He has been such a non event, I have lost interest with anything re Cannings, but why is he on the bench for the Prems? Coming back from injury perhaps?

Otherwise, I'm happy with that lot.

Was out early with appendix operation, came back and then suffered a hand injury. This is his first week back.

Interesting that there is only one front rower on the bench.
but its only Tuesday and there is a SoO to be played first so I think there may still be some changes to the 18 named.

Thanks Colonel.

Changed the game, wonderful stats. As soon as he goes off theres nothing offering there.

 

[Bigfella]

You would think Wagon is effectively there as cover for Hindmarsh only - Hindy plays and he drops off. Hindy out and he would start.

I would have Tsoulos in top grade ahead of Cordoba TBH. Robinson as well frankly ...

One thing which may have counted against Tim ... Roosters have not been as prolific as other sides. We may not have to score as many points against them to win as we would against say Newcastle or Tigers.

I can;t see that halves combination working long term ... but as SUity will say - maybe they deserve a crack at it.

Desperately need Riddell back, even off bench as Marsh seems to have more thrust when he is interchanged. He seemed to reduce his running role a lot.

This side would also theoretically have the option of Morris taking some dummy half duties while Riddell plays as a back or front rower?

 

[Kornstar]

IMO we are gone this week, that bench is terrible.

Riddell either starts or put him in P/L!!! We need another powerful prop off the bench!!!

* Joel hasn't exactly set the world on fire but I really hope he stands up, personaly I would of given the spot to Jarryd...hope he proves us wrong.

* Williams must be the unluckiest winger in the comp at the moment.

* welcome back benny and Aaron.

* Fareni MOEFAAUO??? anyone???

That is part of the problem though when he only offers short minutes. His fitness by all accounts had improved but I think that has been shown up as a starter. Coming off the bench against tired forwards means he hasn't had to work as hard as when he starts against a fresh forward pack. He played well but he needs to do that for longer. ;-)

Look, if you asked me who I thought was going to be our long term halfback, I have no hesitation in saying Tim.

But, at the moment, I think Jeremy will do fine, and the stint in Premmies might just deflate Tims head a little.

Played for Westfield Sports High I think??? :?

Actually he played with Tony Williams, Kris Keating, Matt Keating, Carney in Arrive alive cup.

We would get more use if another prop made an effective run. Watch the tape he was the only one and Vella at times to have any effectivness. Stringer was deadweight. Another problem none of our backs are any good our of DH. Last season we were with Grothey, Benny coming and getting us out of trouble.
