I'm still expecting Gutherson to play FB in defence with Hoffman on the wing, Auva'a right centre and taka inside him defending at 5/8th.

But what do I know? I am just basing this on others saying Auva'a is not a winger.

  Love your confidence.

Very good looking side actually. I think the Eels might just pull off a very needed win.

  Here's hoping Monts....i have a gut feeling we might get up tomorrow as well, but my gut's usually useless.

Lets hope Auva'a kills it. Could be the spark we are missing

If gutho was playing fullback I would of put money on us to win. I'm still confident for a win but auva's to wing a bit shock but hopefully strong carries when bringing the ball back up field

We lose today then we may go to the bottom of the table. I watched The Professor last night and they were all sniggering about the eels. Sad really.

  We are an easy target FH, low hanging fruit for a wannabe funnyman like him. And it's totally deserved, plenty of talk so far this season and as usual it's all talk.
