Game starts at 1:25.

 

Few late changes.  Guymer and Tuivati obviously in the nrl team. Carty, Kelma and Dunster all late scratchings. Presumably injured.

Few notable inclusions. Matto starting on the edge, Pryke starting a lock and young gun Lokeni starting in the 2nd row. I believe this is his debut game.

  • Great try assist from Joash. Nice cut out ball to AMS. Try converted. 6-0

    Some really strong carries early from Matto, Simmonson and Matele.

    • I didn't think it started till 1-45 

      • Flegg got postponed so they may have moved up the game.

        • Any idea why it was postponed? Other Flegg games have gone ahead.

    • On that line break it seems Simmo has lost some of his pace. He was struggling to chase that bloke down. Now he bombs a certain try lol

    • I missed the first 4 min. Since I started watching Matto has been poor 

  • Eels95 do you know much about lokeni? A few on the bench I have never heard of. Any thoughts? 

    • He is hard running backrower. Turns 20 this year. Last year he was very solid in SG ball. Very similar player to Latu. Higher energy and mobile player. He graduated from Kings School. So played a lot of union growing up and was in the warrtahs development system too.

      • Thanks ea.  Hows he playing? 

    • I don't really sorry.  More of just a causal observer. I know he is highly touted though. Plays middle and edge.

I see Keon's price as irrelevant (within reason), because he is an absolute no brainer for the Eels.
 
Paulo was fantastic last season, though, he’s fighting the clock & Keon is a perfect replacement longer term.
