    • I wasn't able to watch the game unfortunately, but Triple M gave huge wraps for Junior's second stint. He still has the skills we need, just needs to be directed for effectively. If that means limited minutes than so be it.

  • Tuivaiti to start, and Junior on the bench could be a really easy fix. Honestly, I haven't seen Tui have a bad game yet, give him the start and see how he handles it.

    • Yep Tuivaiti gets through enough work to earn that starting spot.

  • Whatever Ryles does, he quite simply needs to figure out how the Eels can better compete in the first 20 mins. Twice in a row they have not kept up with the pace of the game, conceding too many 6-agains and penalties and the result has been they have had half the possession of their opposition in that first 20 mins. 

    Fix that defensive issue and give the offense some room to do its thing. 

  • Players player for the Eels was Ezra Mam. We don't win without him on the field.

  • I think you need to re-look at the start of the game; Brisbane had the majority of the ball in the first 20 min let alone first half, and when we got a shot at them, we scored. The game was one of the fastest I have seen and we did well to hang in there - and came home with the points.

    Big Sam is also a rookie and needs time; you cannot expect him to be playing huge mins. Williams did a lot of work.
