CAN THE EELS MAKE SOME CHANGES

After watching the game and feeling so unoptimistic, I am hoping BA could make a few changes, like bringing in Bevan French into the team, and moving King Gutho into the Number 6. Maybe drop Rennings and put in someone like a Parry or Greg Leleisiuao into the wing spot. Maybe give Stefano Utoikamanu a chance too. Try something rather than leaving the side with deficiencies.

 

My team against the Bunnies:

 

1. Bevan French

2. Blake Ferguson 

3. Michael Jennings

4. Ethan Parry

5. Maika Sivo

6. King Gutho

7. Mitch Moses

8. Junior Paulo

9. Reed Mahoney

10. Tim Mannah

11. Manu Mau

12. Shaun Lane 

13. Marata Niukore

14. Peni Terepo

15. David Gower

16. Oregon Kaufusi

17. Stefano Utoikamanu

  • Why would you move Niukore to the middle when he and Lane are our only two genuine edge forwards these days?, Mau would struggle on an edge now.

  • Changes need to be made this week, just not them changes

  • For a start we don't have a Rennings, Parry can't play until after June. Greg L and French appear to have no chance under BA. All the old suspects will be rolled out. Ho  Hum, boring isn't it.

  • French is a liability and complete bum on the park, a pussy and weakling, having players like that in your team is not getting better.

    Hes a show pony who offers absolutely zero off the ball, and his fellow team mates need to carry him in defence, seriously the kids shits me to tears, at least Brads seen the light here.

     

  • Mahony has to be dropped it's simple. Anyone that knows league can see that he's a massiveliability in defense. And don't give me that efficiency shit, Mahony may hang on, but he gets dragged 5 meters.

     

    Bring in Mcillwrick 

    • It's a shame but it is true, i would play him off the bench, put Salmon back to 5/8 until Brown is back.

  • I think Mahoney could do with a week or two of to recoup. He’s being going great for a young fella and will be an awesome player in a few years. 

    I’m glad Slowvaro is not in the team. I think Brad Arthur needs to make him do 100 burpees a day until he can get off the ground in less than 2 minutes lol

    the browns are the key to a lot of things I’m thinking.. 

    • Yep we need the browns back ASAP anyone know when they are likely to return 

  • Artur will either name the same team as last week or he will add some really dumb idiotic changes that will do jack shite.

    • Is Jack Shite in the top 30?
