Teams v Dragons

[Glenn]

don't be surprised if Wade plays, for who? I don't know.

Hmm Wade for Luke B, could explain why Delaney is on the bench (to have two frontline goal kicking options) :-k

where a bit thin on the bench me thinks, i just dont know about this one maybe we can take a leaf out of the tigers book, there pretty small up front and managed to give the broncos a hiding, theyll have to use the home crowd to their advantage.

Redback71 says:
"theyll have to use the home crowd to their advantage."

But I say nay, it's our (the home crowd) responsibility to be louder then last week and encourage them to bring home another win. Everyone bring your big cheering voices.

C'mon Eels supporters bring on Friday.

Good to see JT didn't freak out and promote someone who wasn't ready and went with a safe option Chad or Hindy up front and Wags into the backrow

geez i like JT as a coach

to be honest id say our back three are the most important. head has a on of the best kicking game in the comp, must defuse his bomb ala timmy last year. although i dunno how effective they will be, hayne, grothe are the best in the NRL under the high ball in attack and defence. benny is no slouch either. must wotch the short grubber, i think grothe in a lil slow to turn and chase. but if their kicking game is off, wotch out. benny will more likley mark creigh, which will be intresting. wotch benny nullify him. also the pack, very fit, must come off their line, to hold bailey ryles poore sims from getting a role on.

why would you want someone like taia on the bench?
it was proven he cant handle the pace, delaney can play solid and we have seen far from the best of him...
what ben smith is doing out there is what delaney has been doing all year, playing solid while the other centre/wing play great and score...

 

[sooperdooper]

delaney has utility value... i cant wait to see him come on the field from the bench

Damn you, traitor!

 

[bartman]

Interesting side. Guess they're favouring Chad over any other avilable options to fill the starting prop role. I didn't understand why Delaney was on the bench as a centre, but as has been said that gives the option of swapping O'Dwyer into the pack or Delaney himself.

There's going to be a lot of forward work to be done, and the rotation will need to keep guys fresh for a quality performance for the whole 80. No Tahu return yet I guess....

 

[Utey]

I jus noticed Timmy Wynn back, with Jimmy Storer! Woo!

 

[JessEel]

Damn you, traitor!

how is he a traitor thats a ridiculouos thing to say!

 

[sooperdooper]

Delaney will come on in the back row not into the centres....
