Trial: Eels v Panthers Game Day Thread Feb 26 2022

[TheRam]

I have full confidence in JA to play 80 minutes as a backup (i.e. when a starter is unavailable) but he's a waste of a bench spot. If we must shuffle the team mid-game (like if we lost a winger or centre) and Drown needs to move out wide I'd prefer Matterson or Cartwright cover the halves.

Though Cartwright seems to be well down the pecking order.

Or for this season at least we can move Marata Niukore there like we normally do.

Irrelevant who it was mate. The point is it has finally been recognized and now they are trying to address it.

The point I was making is that I and others on this forum have recognized this seasons ago and were howled down by some boofhead posters.

I have also pointed it out in games gone past. My point was you, like you regularly do, have made guesses as to the who, why and when and used them to revise your previous guesses to be factual. Thus revisionism and guesswork, confirmation bias or whatever you want to call it.

Undoubtedly you’ll now respond that it was always only opinions. If you don’t want boofhead posters howling down your opinion, then don’t spout them off as fact and berate any dissenting person.

Learn to accept being wrong.

Yeah, weird cos he just signed a new contract

Probably one of those merkins who's only motivated when he's under external pressure.

He was the star of last preseason according to TCT, whereas this year he hasn't been mentioned.

Pretty sure you were howled down by Brad Arthur and RCG, but after belting Penrith's reserve grade pack those two are looking pretty silly now.

You've put me on the spot. Why don't you do a day trip to Bowral?

 

[King-Gutho94]

I don't know about everyone else but i did struggle watching the likes mahoney and papali'i on the weekend.

Its not that i want them to fail its exactly opposite this year and that try where mahoney passes it on papa was good to see.

But its just more that knowing they will be in rival colours next year has dampened my enthusiasm and affection for these individual players that are leaving.

Do you want him to end up in a barrel?

Why not an overnight to Canberra, but with a twist. Like staying in a smallish town that is roughly on the way and has a pub. Cheap as chips.

85% chance he'd be fine.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

How about any bushman that's thinking about analing strider if he visits speak up now.

 

[Gronk]

Listening to the Boom Rookies podcast, they reckon that Dylbags to centre was a trial to move Waqa to the wing if Russell / Simonsson combo doesn't get us bending the line out of our own end.

So the way I see it we could leave Dylan at 6 and bring in Opacic OR shift Dylan and bring in Jake.

Are there any other options?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Well that's one. Any more bushmen thinking of having a go?

Marata to centre being our forward depth is strong and backline is weak. Moving Dylan is silly as he needs to build a combo with Moses.

Rankin can play center.
