did anybody else notice that Gutho was playing 9 in attack and then 1 in defence to give Mahoney a break in second half?
outstanding effort gutho. His fitness levels are out of this world. I actually like gutho at 9, makes intelligent runs and seems to generate quick play the balls.
It might have worked against titans, but if BA wants to give mahoney a spell, maybe he should bring in a second 9 on the bench? Gutho cant do that every week.
last night was the first time i watched an eels game in a long time stress free. I didnt feel the need to yell or smash the tv. We seemed in control the whole game.
in years gone by, this would definatly be a game the eels would lose.
But not the 2019 eels!!!!

I yelled and screamed at not taking the two then dropping the ball on the first
Thought our game management was very poor after being good for a few games
He has been this for the last 3-4 weeks.
It’s just to give Mahoney a break heading into the finals, he’s still only a young kid and has an exciting future, come semi final time Mahoney will be back playing 80 mins
You'll notice he also sniffs around the ruck coming out of our own end looking for a quick play the ball, then jumps in in front of Mahoney and takes off.
Been doing it for 4 weeks now about each time we have lull in our play makes no sense not carrying a utility/hooker to cover that 15min stretch when you consider either tepai or peni has only played 15 mins at the end each eeek surlyba salmon/smith/stone/mcgillrick could fill that role
Smith. Are you injured ?
Hes not my 1st choice but carring 4 forwards is tempting fate especially when u move your fullback into hooker for 10mins
I honestly love watching him run from dummy half on a quick play the ball, he must be the best at that behind cook
He certainly is ridiculous fit the king
