Eels vs Broncos 3, 2, 1

Very good high intensity effort tonight for the competition restart. Considering the long layoff I thought our attack was better than expected, although we had all the field position it must said. The Broncos were also very meek in the second half and offered little resistance. All in all great result and well done to the NRL for getting the comp up again.

    • Agreed Brizzy. Our pack was on fire, which set the platform nicely. I though both halves controled their turf well, Gutho was everywhere at the back and our outside backs did their job very well. Hard to pick a MOM.

  • There is such a variety and no particular standout which shows how well everyone played. Jenko was brilliant too.

    How good was Dyls again? This kid is special. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Every time he takes possesion, it's like time stops. Anything can happen. He mesmerises the defence just like Benji and Hayne would. Step, step, jink, shimmy, skip, swerve, big left and then dart. He's a smart kid constantly looking to pick out the slowest forwards to run to and around. He looks for the hit and spin. He's spewing football intelligence and can hold his rag. Nothing fazes him. Brilliant 1 on 1 tackler too even on bigger men.

    If there is a player that can take us to premiership glory it's Dylan Brown. Not Mitch Moses. I say this despite Mitch being my favorite Parra player.

    1. Mitch Moses

  • All played well

    Stone seems to have really improved his passing. If can keep that consistent he could make a good dummy half - back up at least. Maybe given his size this could be his position.

    Jenko was great and his linking to Sivo has been a big improvement. If BA can teach Jennings to pass to hi winger maybe he can teach Waqa. We are not using Fergo now Taka is not centre.

  • Just some thoughts from the game

    1) I loved the control & patience in Mitch's game. If this continues, the NSW #7 jersey will be his for a decade.

    2) I loved seeing Dylan Brown taking on the line and using his footwork. I actually think 5/8 is his spot. He might finish his career in the 7 jersey, a bit like Kevvie Walters did for the Broncos, but I see him as a geniune 6.

    3) This is hard to say, but I thought we looked more fluent in attack with Niukore in 13 as opposed to Nathan Brown. Now Brownie is this teams emotional barometer and there is no question he comes straight back into the team, but the more direct style of Niukore seems to suit this teams personnel a bit better. Food for thought for BA & Brownie.

    4) The more Gutho sticks to sniffing around the ruck & the middle 3rd, the better we are as a team. He's a solid sweep fullback & ballplayer, but he is far more effective pushing up in support of Junior looking for offloads. If I'm BA, I'm telling him let Mitch, Dylan & Reed direct the team, and just continue to push up in support.

    5) Is there a better pair of edge backrowers in the game right now than Shaun Lane & Ryan Matterson ?

    • 5) Both brilliant ball playing forwards. Sweet hands.

       

  • Taka has one vote in the poll. Cmon guys, this is not the GOAT poll, it needs to be taken seriously.
