Again it will be another long year for Eels fans. Haven't really liked anything I've seen from the Eels in the 9's or the game against South's. Their defence was 2nd rate and their attack was very poor.

You are obviously hard to please. Parra scored the try of the 9s tournament, made the semis to be beaten in the last minute and showed very impressive, resolute defence.
The Souths team last night were impressive. It is a trial and that is how it was treated. It's really a bit early for the usual pessimists to put their boots into our team.
Go Parra
When you say another long year do you mean 2 games longer than regular season like last year? Or longer perhaps?we replaced and Tep and Mau with Matto and RCG , do you think we are a worse team for it?
If Gowie Peni and Evans are in our starting rotationd we are in trouble
I think Marata will be the middle on the bench with stone as the interchange hooker/lock and BA always finds a spot for Takka. So final spot will be Evans/Oregon
Gower always shows his class towards the end of the year when we pick up a couple of injuries. I personally love him as a player, but I don’t see him making the 1st grade team above our current forward pack.
Wtf lol
Yeah, you nailed it here Dr Wong and Poppa. For those 3-4 games that he does come in, he kills it with a couple of huge runs and line breaks right when we need them, hence my comment about 'class'. Sustaining that impact over the duration is the only problem that occurs.
But, I do love having him on the team regardless. Would love to see him coaching in the near future.
I think our bench will be Stone, Evans, Alvaro and Niukore
If we are forced to use Gowie in our 17 it is because we are in trouble
