We've got a huge problem in both our attack and defence this year. What changes would you be making? Personally, I'd be dropping Simonsson and Makatoka both are absolutely useless. I'd be moving Penisini into left centre so he can actually set Sivo up. Opacic moves into right centre and Blake on the wing where he belongs. I'd be starting Brown back at lock and put Matto back on the bench.

As far as I'm concerned I'd seriously forget all about this year. It's all over red rover. If I were the board I would tell the coach his services are no longer required after either this year or right now. I would then hotly pursue an interim coach and start seriously advertising for a new coach from 2023 onwards. Brad Arthur needs to be moved on. He will never take the Eels to a premiership and anyone who says differently needs serious help. The players have clearly had enough of the coaching style and they need something new and refreshing. If they don't get rid of Brad Arthur the next 2 years are going to be an absolute nightmare for the players and many will leave except the coach's pets and the fans will will become fed up totally
I agree Monto they look flat and they play like they don't want to be there. Think it's time to give Flano, Slater or Ciraldo a call.
The only thing I want 100% done is Mahoney to play the rest of his Eels days in reserves, I'd rather Rein or even give Hands a crack don't care if JA finishes the year there but I am done and over Reed.
Agree but the coach won't he's gutless with no ideas
None. BA will still insist on picking the same bench whilst using only 3.
Totally agree with your comments and team . We looked absolutely lethal on that left edge. Honestly we could have racked up 40 points on that edge tonight. Blake just gets in the way at centre. He can't tip on to Sivo.
I'd be shelving the right side in attack more or less, bring in Opacic and move Penisini to Sivo's side as you say
Penisni natural side is on the left. Looks so unco when on the right
Agreed he looks lost on the right
Nepokid on the bench again
