Yep. In the interview after the game Arthur (rightfully) talked about our dumb plays and being smarter. Problem is we have too much dumb in the team:

Blake
Fergo
Sivo
Evans
Niukore
Lane (at times)

Yep. When he did it, even my biased opinion was oh f**k thats not good. Deserves the suspension tbh

Could W Smith handle Centre for a game?

Or even wing, at least he has some pace...

Taka just cannot defend are Centre. We saw that last week, his lateral movement is trash.

Also think we cant afford the drop we have when both Paulo and RCG come off so one needs to start from the bench. From a second phase point of view for mine that’s Paulo as he can exploit tiredness/laziness after 25mins.

why not .... our entire bench had a crack at left centre last night - except Kane

 

[Noise]

More likely we’d see Dunster diving.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

That could work too.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

They won’t see Haze coming!

I like Taka, despite his flaws, and I believe he has a place in the side - but I reckon his days as an outside back are behind him, or at least, they should be.

Smith at centre is worth a shot.

 

[eels_fan]

It seems the most important thing next week is to the let the opposition score the first 2 tries.... that guarantees victory haha

 

[Gronk]

Gus just said that he spoke to NRL CEO Abdo and our game is definitely at Bankwest. I have changed thread title.

 

[Avenger]

One thing is for sure, we will be playing Souths. Newcastle are imploding after leading 14 nil.

They are shit.

 

[blue bags]

What are the injuries to sivo and fergo?

shoulders, knees. ankles, the likely ones

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Reckon next week will be a lot like last year, but opposite shoes for us.......who ever wins today will be talked up big time (like us after the broncos win) but we go a lot better then expected (based on journos talking us down) and win (like storm against us last year)

 

[Avenger]

Plenty of weaknesses in the Souths side.
We just need to hustle Cody Walker and give him little space. They have nothing without him.
