Just watched the interview on 60 minutes with the Kelly family regarding the tragic situation they have gone through losing their two sons, first Thomas in 2012 from a coward punch in Sydney's Kings Cross then his younger brother Stuart in 2016 as a result of suicide. The parents have gone through hell, i'm a tough bugger but was reduced to tears as a result of this interview. The NRL is putting on a tribute to metal health awareness match featuring the Eels and Tigers at ANZ Stadium 2 weeks from now (Round 20) 

The message is SK - Stay Kind (also Stuart Kelly's initials) Stuart was a massive Eels supporter and his father Ralph a Tigers supporter, however on that day the family will be throwing their support behind the Eels in honour of Stuart. 

Get out there and show your support.

LB replied to Jiver's discussion Team sheet Tuesday - the questions
"Well if Smith is still out, who plays Hooker?
All he has to do from Dummy half is be as pedestrian as possible. Just feed forward and halves. 
Smith should be out this week, give him this week and next week off."

"Edwards will be in the 19. Depending on Smith will depend if he is in the 17. Pryke i reckon misses out. Pezet i could see being in the 19 instead of Lorenzo and i'm fine with that. Let's Lorenzo play a full game of Cup."
