Can’t help but wonder if old Dylbags has been up to no good. I’m not buying this trying stuff out for next year. We are fighting to not get the spoon, throwing a rookie in at 6 against Penrith etc. Leaving him out at this point seems very odd.
The club obviously doesn't care about the spoon.

I reckon the last straw for Ryles was when Dylan was dancing before the kick off during the dragons game.....showed that he doesn't give a f**k. I know I was fuming....let alone the coach.

Ridiculous. In 6 games he has broken more tackles then Russel in his 16 games.
He also is average 60mtrs a game more.
160+ a game.
I suspect that the defensive combo between Simonsson and Lomax, where they seem to not be talking to each other and separately rushing in/staying back might have something to do with the decision?

Still, it's only team list day - and all sorts of changes are still possible as we trim to 19 on Thursday night, and then on game day.

Parramatta Eels


1. Joash Papali'i 2. Zac Lomax 3. Viliami Penisini 4. Sean Russell 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Dean Hawkins 7. Mitchell Moses 8. J'maine Hopgood 9. Ryley Smith 10. Junior Paulo 11. Charlie Guymer 12. Jack Williams 13. Dylan Walker 14. Tallyn Da Silva 15. Luca Moretti 16. Matt Doorey 17. Sam Tuivaiti 18. Dan Keir 19. Jordan Samrani 20. Bailey Simonsson 21. Toni Mataele 22. Dylan Brown

Out: Isaiah Iongi (fullback), Jordan Samrani (bench to reserve), Bailey Simonsson (centre to reserve)
In: Will Penisini (centre), Mitchell Moses (halfback), Luca Moretti (bench)
Changes: Joash Papalii (five-eighth to fullback), Dean Hawkins (halfback to five-eighth)

Don't mind the bench

Da Silva, Moretti, Tuivati & Doorey is playing okay as well.

Hawkins/Moses combo will be interesting how it goes.

What it will do is take pressure of Mitch's kicking game having a legitimate long kicker in Hawkins playing alongside him. Drown's kicking game was overrated for mine.

And i haven't seen enough of Joash's kicking game to give me confidence.

Mitch should have more freedom to take the line on and challenge the defence more at the backend of sets knowing that Hawkins is out there to take some load off the kicking if Moses is caught on the last.

If Hawkins/Moses combo gets us 2 or 3 wins in the next 5 or so weeks.

Would you even bother going back to Joash when Iongi comes back.

yeah, I like this team but maybe prefer Bailey for Russell.

I think JAC is wasted outside Russell.

We need to work out set plays to make use of his speed.

I hope Mitch and Dean switches roles during the game and Dean is like positioned 1 pass away from Mitch as the second kicker.

Yeh im pretty surprised Russell was picked over Bailey. I guess Russell might have the slightest edge in terms of defence? Bailey is defs the better player despite the improvemrnt of Russell over the current season
