Without talking positional changes and without bagging the Eels too much cause i am a Eels SUPPORTER.
Agreed that Inu has lost his speed, i think KK and Morts were terrible, they didnt run to the line often enough and when they did it was for a hit up. They need to test the line, the defence was giving them soooo much space, more draw and pass. I thought their kicking game was OK they found some space with their kicks, not great, but better then last week, they obviously worked hard on it during the week.
Overall passing game was in all sorts no smoothness in the flow of the ball, players over running and balls being thrown behind them which caused they to stop and stagger. We lacked confidence which we had running out of the eagles games, but lost it in the sharks game.
I thought Poore was good, he seems to be getting better every week would like to see him start just to see how he goes. Mannah brilliant again (Origin Call Up IMO). Horo i think was intimidated by starting for Hindy and lacked that impact he normally provides off the bench. Oak had a few big runs as well and bent the defence back looked promising and would have liked to see him get more of the ball.
Mateo tried hard and probably looked the most dangerous Eel, except that one play where he went in instead of out.
Hindmarsh, Reddy and Grothe i thought we missed, i'd consider them some core player to the team.
I thought Tahu and Hayne were tired ((heavy wet night on Wed and again last night) and had little support from their team mates...Look at Nightingale and the support he gave for Boyd and Morris with the hit ups.
Also can anyone comment why KK plays on the right of the feild when he is a left foot kicker?
