"Popo was our best forward in SG Ball this year. Athletic. Big motor with footwork to bust tackles and poke his head through. Makes plenty of tackles as well. Honestly, a shorter version of Tamalalou. Nuggetty forward with big limbs.

As our season unofficially closed this weekend and attentions get turned to next season, I was struck by the coaching maturity of Jason Ryles.Here is a man, a rookie coach, completely re inventing our Eels. Not just changing a couple of players here…

I think the stats show why he is suited to the middle rather than the edge. His a defensive forward. But zero impact in attack on the edge. He really needs more time in the gym to strengthen up. His runs make minimal meters.
Yeah he's a workhorse middle for sure, no real threat on the edge. Williams and Hopgood you could possibly use on the edges and start Charlie in the middle ?
Yeah I thought he was going to move Williams to the edge. Once Moretti is back you could have him and Junior rotating. I think with both Kelma and Kitione out you have to move Williams to the edge, possibly even Hopgood if he is going to find Brown a spot rotating with Walker.
I'm even fine with Samrani on the edge, at least he has some go. But let's see what this week brings. Tuaviti looked great as well 🫡
Next week
1: I Longi
2: Z Lomax
3: B Simonson
4: S Russell
5: J Addo Carr
6: J Papali
7: M Moses ( hoping he's back
8: Jr Paulo
9: R Smith
10: C Guymer ( better up front for 20 mins )
11: J Williams
12: J Samarani
13: D Brown ( he needs to run )
14: T Da Silva
15: D Walker
16: J Hopgood ( play in front row )
17: S Tuivita
18th D Hawkins
Kautoga won't play
Pretty close but doubt they risk Moses in cold ass Canberra. Could see Moretti back but. I'd start Walker over brown but both play same role and alternate.
I also didn't think doorey was to bad in his run, could use him on the edge if need. He plays with a lot of effort
I was not impressed with Samrani defence in NSW Cup over the weekend. I too would play Doorey over him. While I do not like Guymer on the edge I think he and Williams have to play there next week with Kautoga & Tuilagi both unavailable
I drop Brown all together have Hopgood lock
