Injured vs Fit Eels

Not to make excuses, but I thought I'd see if I could put together a side composing all of the blokes on our casualty list. 

I reckon you could make an argument to suggest this 13 would beat the top 13 we put on the field on the weekend.

1. Jason Seage

2. Jordan Atkins

3. Jacob Loko

4. Willie Tonga

5. Marmin Barba

6. Jarryd Hayne

7. Luke Kelly

8. Mitchell Allgood

9. Matt Keating

10. Jon Mannah

11. Ben Smith

12. Rory Brien

13. Casey McGuire

  • My money would be on a 40-40 score after golden point.

  • Is Casey McGuire retiring this weekend? Does anyone know?

    This above team by 19 points.
    • I think he must be, i heard the Nathan Hindmarsh interview this morn saying he wasnt really impressed that the game had been moved etc, then he said its a good farewell for him, Burty and Casey? So from that, i would say he is done.

  • it would be a close run thing thats for sure.

     

    Forward pack isn't much chop though

     

     

  • Interesting with barba. Could be a good idea to give him a go on the wing.

    Kelly must be 6 and hayne back at 1.

    Mullaney at the 14
  • Its fair to say we did get hammered hard with injuries this year, some of them really crippled our attack. Hayne, Kelly and Loko especially.

    Looking to 2013, we havent bought much as in the way of decent backups?

  • This backline would double the metres of our current backline even though this forward pack lacks some spice.
  • I'd shift Hayne to fullback, Seage to the wing and Barba to 6. Eelectrifying.

    • You're assuming Barba will do the work in defence at 6. Big call to flick Seage to the wing considering he is one of the best defensive backs we have in the club.
