TLT Rnd 6 vs Raiders in Darwin

[Stagger eel]

I reckon it'll be our most potent bench in a while with Matto's inclusion.

 

[Legal Eel]

I think Matto is past playing on the edge. Or who are you moving to the edge from the middle if Matto goes there ?

Fair call

someone just needs to come in for lane - he just seems so apathetic

All we have is Cartwright, I guess.
I don’t think he’s any better than Lane, tbh. I don’t think he seems to have a better attitude though.

If Matto is going/playing, it's not as an edge.

So I guess the podcasters could be right, it might be Sam's turn to show what he's learnt on the NRL bench racking up decent minutes in Cup - hopefully dominating at that level.

If Matto is fit for a good 60minsin the Darwin heat, then it will improve our side. But I unfortunately still expect a defeat.

Carty was named on the bench for Cup, think he is a way down the pecking order

Lane did some OK things but agree that he looked tanked last week.

I said after the STG game that both Lane and Russell are below par, but we might have to be patient.

 

[emjaycee]

Lane wasn't too apathetic last week, though he did seem to tire.

 

[Timana]

Will he be able to keep it back to back, i doubt it.

I recon carty had a better attitude than lane

It’s one game where I think we benefit from starting Hoppy at 9. Forwards will be tanked after 15mins in 33 degree heat and 95% humidity. Ryleys speed coming off the bench could break the game open at that point.

Yeah good point. I remember Trai Fuller and JMK tearing us up through the middle in the second half for the Dolphins in last year’s Darwin game.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yeah, I've seen calls to start Ryley, but I don't see the value in it.

A fresh 60mins from him after the 20m mark is working a treat - and if that part's no broke, why change it.

That's one game i am happy I actually missed the 2nd half.

Thanks! I've been a long-time lurker. Figured I might as well start posting!

The only downside is if like last week we find ourselves camped in the opposition 20 and relying on Hopgood’s distribution

Are you allowed to call people merkin, you merkin?

Put dylan walker in the 9

I think I got to warm up before I start shooting off those kinds of jokes.

Put dylan walker in the 9

My thought earlier was start Smith, bring Walker on for Smith and he and Hopgood split hooking duties, then Smith comes on later to finish game

 

[eels_fan]

Don’t think we should change the role Walker played last week, it made the whole attacking structure flow for the first time and unlocked Dyl.

that was after one session with the team. That impact will only increase in coming weeks
