  I love the fact that they have no utility on the bench. If a key playmekr get injured they are gooooone!!

  To be honest they are a lot like the Dragons in the way that they dont have alot of superstars and they just play well as a team.The dogs forward pack in particular shouldnt put too much fear in the Eels at all but the obvious threats are Kimmorley,Ennis,Morris,Idris and Roberts.If we play close to our potential and dont commit suicide by dropping too much ball we should win because i dont think the dogs best is anywhere near Parra or Melbourne.

  Certainly they have gone for the big blokes, look at their bench. They probably wanna try to out muscle us and try to dominate in the forwards...key point being try.
  
  Also, I don't think Kimmorley will play on Friday. Not that it will make any difference.
  Really can't understand Holdsworth not being named on the bench.....seems to me a few mind games are being played here by the Dogs
  
  Dogs won't come close to us on Friday night so long as we keep the intensity and attitude.
  
  Go the mighty EELS

  i think they have a great pack and the match will be one between the battle of the packs.
  
  cayless and fui have to fire. and mannah has to be able to keep the momentum that fuifui and caylo started......i think if fui plays like he did against the dogs last time, we will win because he gave us such an edge and allowed us to play a free flowing, 2nd phase play orientated style of football.
  
  if FUIFUI fires the eels will find themselves in their first grand final in 8 years.
  
  IF hannant doesnt get steamrolled this time, expect the dogs to dominate our forwards and eventually find the edges.
  
  i'm not saying if fui is quite we lose straight away, but his contribution will be bigger than anyone's (even the chosen one)

  haha that is a horrid bench. we just need to get up in their face and stop em before they get the legs pumping.
  
  if we hold the ball and make the most of our opportunities i am quietly confident that we will be there come grand final!!
  
  soo exciting :D
