Khan Pereira showed us exactly what I think we are lacking at the moment. He showed great anticipation and execution for the intercept try and the speed to go the distance. Do you think Dunster or Sivo would have the speed to run the length? He also showed great speed and presence of mind to kick early and turn Gutho around knowing that Gutho is a great tackler in those 1on 1 scenarios, although Foran backing up on the inside may have been a safer option. Apart from Semi and Hayne, I think we have really struggled to produce young, speedy, classy outside backs.

Yep we lack genuine speed our fastest backs are our Halves and that's a worry
At least Sivo has size which forgives his lack of speed somewhat. But it would be nice if our other winger offered something different to Sivo
Sivo rarely uses his size and strength unless he's 1 metre from the tryline. He rarely runs fast enough to break tackles which is astonishing considering his size
Agree. Can't understand why Brad Arthur and the Eels recruitment haven't also clearly noticed this as well. The Eels wingers and centres are atrocious except for possibly Penisini who is still not top calibre
Haha Sivo is top on list of try scorers .Too slow, too old, lazy hmmmm yes-- get rid of him .
Most of those tries are catch and score.
Yes Kurupt I agree. Sivo though has been a bit more adventurous these days and very unlucky not to have more trys to his name. I like he is taking some creative type risks.Once he masters taking these risks he may be a better player. I just like what he brings to his Fijian family. Sivo Sivo Sivo
Credit to the guys feeding Sivo
Yes Tad, with geniuses like Drooper we don't need any outside help.
You and many people on here know the meaning of balance Tad, Drooper thinks its something to do with how long he can stand on his head before the cuckoo comes out.
Poppa I am disappointed with PT that he didn't suggest singing God save the King as our Eels community song at our games LoL
