TLT - Rnd 12 v Manly - Friday night @ 8 pm

[the phantom menace]

That would be my backline too with Russell more a ready made winger than Samrani. Will be interesting to see if Kelma fit in anywhere with his suspension now served, I dare say will slot in place of Mataele?, does Matto still retain over Doorey?

Oh, I forgot that Kelma might be available to play this week...

He tends to get selected when available, so might even mean Williams is back to a selected middle, and Doorey back to a bench spot (with Matto as shadow, if a selected Doorey is again a late demotion to Cup)?

 

[the phantom menace]

Ah, I see they've done just that with Kelma in...

And Matto and Doorey both named the bench, so Mataele drops back after debuting.

 

[Suitman]

Pissed again?

Sammy Loizou in the 22, interesting as Tago (development) and Penisini jr (top 30) are named in cup. Does Loizou even have a trial and try deal?

I think it’s just a second tier deal …

 

[Soto]

I'd expect for consistency and not to upset the left side in defence that Russell will play centres and Samrani on the right wing.
Their right side with Oloakautu Garrick and Saab will need to be watched very closely.
If JP is to debut I'd expect Doorey or Matto to drop out of the 17 or Kelma.
Kelma is a good attacking weapon but not the best defender.
On a side note we need a massive crowd on Fri night to get the boys home.
So get to the game. Bring your wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, children, nieces, nephews, friends, neighbours whoever is a parra supporter or a non manly supporter to cheer the mighty Eels home.
We need another win here...
Rally the troops everybody

A few former eels playing this week.

Any of them worthy of the booing treatment

not a chance without Momax

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Would rather we kept the left edge of Russell and JAC and push Penisni to right wing and Samrani to right centre

 

[TheParraboy]

They will be flat after putting in that game in Townsville

No DCE

Gonna be a wet deck, brings the teams closer

Turbo busted, kick to him and smash him up more

Eels big chance

Do teams play shit after playing Townsville or is that just GF week.

Pissed again?

Um... no?

I'd be pissed if Ryles selected Lussick, but unlike BA he's not going to do that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He already did. As soon as he was fit, he started rounds 3 and 4 then got injured again for two months.

 

[the phantom menace]

Sigh... adult autism must be tricky.

He's not going to do that (again).

Past round 10 we can basically pick anyone we want now can’t we?
