  Kris Keating straight into the side next week...
  
  I think Robson knew he was playing for his position this week and he always seems to struggle a bit when the pressure is on

  true, but he contributed alot to our good defence.. i do think though with games against the panthers and dragons coming up, that KK needs to be in the team, but robson's been good for us this year. he's played well above what we're paying him and done exactly what a replacement half is supposed to.

  I agree Fui - I guess I am just looking forward to seeing us with a halfback who can kick and pass effectively.
  Especially now that we are finally playing with confidence for the first time in years...
  
  Mortimer to half & Mateo to six anyone?

  Why split up a winning halves combo? Only replace them if injured. As for Mateo, he should be installed in the team as soon as possible.

  I'm so happy!! top win! i reckon KK needs to be included in this team aswell as mateo...we look good. KK just for some fast play and his kicking game is awsome which will add heaps to our attack

  Zip - It may be good to see a halfback who can kick and pass, but I think we will lack organisation that Robson provides. It is no coincidence that with Mortimer to take on some of the more creativity, and Robson to provide solid organisation and to run set plays, the Eels have found an increase in form.
  
  Keating and Mortimer in the halves would leave us exposed if either hit a patch of bad form (which they are due to have seeing as they are inexperienced). Robson has been around a bit longer, and has been solid whilst not being spectacular (leave that to Mortimer). A few of his passes did go to ground, yes, but they were the right decision most of the time, he just over-extended his hand and tried to add that touch on the pass.
  
  Keating to the bench as an impact player would make me feel a lot better. Robson doesn't deserve to be dropped. He was extremely solid in defence.

  I also think we need Robbo as a good reliable back-up. - I was hearing blogs today, during live chat, that he was kicking down their throats - but I witnessed a couple of good ones. & 30 NIL tells us something, against a team that doesn't lose too many by big margins - Despite the shit of the early part of the season, I think it's been great to blood some blokes, & find out what they're made of. - And I think DA is starting to make his mark.... All power to him. Finally, it's about footy again (not Fitzy, gunshots, drunken players....& I'm loving it!!!). How good is Jarryd going at the moment - 21?? - Unfuc.ingbelievable!!!!
