Where will the Parramatta Eels finish in 2019?

[Poupou Escobar]

We've never won a comp without Denis Fitzgerald being involved either.

He’s our Des Hasler.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I heard he is quite decent also. Is he an NRL prospect in future?

Probably not. But maybe.

Probably not. But maybe.

It wss only 18mths ago when we where talking Dargan up.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon he was more chance than Taipari is. And you'll note Dargan got an NRL contract after NYC (and is still in the Broncos NRL squad). That's more than most under 20s graduates ever get.

 

[Gary Gutful]

He’s our Des Hasler.

He’s our Des Fitzgerald.

Infortunately we created another one. Norman's short kicking game created a lot of repeat sets. Without those repeat sets we may have won even fewer games.

Moses wasn’t to bad either with getting repeat sets, Norman got 23, Moses 17. Both in the top 6 for most repeats.

Jamie Soward on NRL.com has predicted us to finish with another wooden for 2019.

In that case
1. Clinton Gutherson
2. George Jennings
3. Jaeman Salmon
4. Michael Jennings
5. Blake Ferguson
6. Dylan Brown
7. Mitchell Moses
8. Daniel Alvaro
9. Reed Mahoney
10. Peni Terepo
11. Shaun Lane
12. Tepai Moeroa
13. Nathan Brown
14. Tim Mannah
15. Junior Paulo
16. Manu Ma'u
17. Marata Niukore

That’s a great side. Still room for Bev if he’s good enough.

if soward picked us for the spoon i'd jump on eels top 4 before the price plunges
i wouldn't trust that merkin to pick his own nose (and it's an easy target to hit)

 

[The EELiminator]

What we need is a ratio. How many forced drop out from kicks did Norman get per attempt vs Moses. Sure he had 4 or 5 more but if he had 2 x the attempts then it says what?

and how many times did norman kick out on the full vs moses

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I'm not sure about great, I think there's a few spots in that team that can be improved and a couple of them depend on how the player performs. But I think if we can keep our spine injury free we'll be better than this year.

we literally couldn't be any worse you can't finish 17th
that's the only good thing about hitting rock bottom there's nowhere to go but up

We could win less than 6 games. But if a team wins less we could end up 15th

Unless you win the comp it's not about where you finish but how many games you win. We could certainly win fewer than six games. The Knights only won one game in 2016, which is why the Roosters could win only six games and still not run last.

aren't you a bunch of happy campers!
call me a crazy optimist but we might just finish higher than last

Crazy optimist.
