I can see where Mallee is coming from just the same. I thought when Joash played 5/8 last year he did well defensively and his passing and linking was not a problem. The problem with Pezet is his speed in defence,…"

"They started last year winning 50-14 over Easts."
"The one against the Warriors in 03' was great."
"Pezet occupied the middle a lot last night and they combined nicely. Still growing pains but they both seem to be on same page in terms of the goal. They haven't gotten in each others way at the moment."

The defensive issue is in the halves, Pezet was a turnstyle in that period and our defence misshapen, it was only after Haas went off that we regained any rythm.....Moses was also trying to be everywhere and ended up nowhere, clutching air a lot. Moses defence is not and should be not in the front line, he has to cover like Dylan Brown did as Pezet is not capable of cover, he's too slow! They need to work this out because the middles are leaving holes while covering for the halves! Haas try being the example, Pezet was isolated and pathetic in trying to position himself.
I don't know this Petrus guy other than they say he is a defensive freak that tackles anything, it maybe we need someone like him at lock and push JDB back in the rotation. I don't know if he is ready yet and I have never thought of Moretti as a lock but I have some vague recognition that he has some experience there....has he got the pace to cover for the halves? Doory is expendable, maybe unfair but that's it.
Lol Petrus is not a lock. You wait for Popo, Koina and Polley for high work rate middles.
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.
Fox sports Lab shows the possession reversed first to second half, basically the Eels going from 40/60 to 60/40. But that possession was even starker if we break each half. The Broncos were at 70/30 until about the last 10 mins of H1 and then the Eels reversed that for their own 70/30 and scored three tries.
Overall, scoring followed possession gluts.
