LATE MAIL ROUND 5

Pat O'Hanlon has trained with the Eels' senior side all week and is a chance to come on to the bench after the 50-0 drubbing on Monday. Nathan Smith (jaw) will play NSW Cup this weekend. The Sharks are expected to be unchanged after a backline reshuffle.Glad to hear Smith is playing and hopefully won't be long till hes in the 9 for Eels again

  • Who will pat come in for ?? Smiths stats from last week - he played 60 mins and made two hit ups.

    Time to go !!
    • Smith is not exactly there for his offence but that is pretty poor.

      The guy has no confidence in his kness and no power in his legs. Time to retire.

      Shame,,,, fully fit was almost origin quality.
  • LOL, Pat O'Hanlon coming in, that really fills me with confidence, just who we need on the park lol.

  • GO PADDY!

  • Pat's still a young bloke, I think he is ready for NRL but he needs to be eased into it off the ala Kelepi. He should play 80mins for us once established.

  • Pat O`Hanlon was named at prop for Wenty.  So that proves he has put on some bulk.

    His legs and arms now look like branches instead of twigs.  But he has a bit to go before his legs look like tree trunks.

    But you`re right, he has a good offload, which is more than we can say about our current props.

    But I assume he will play in the back row, and not prop.  We need him and Matt Ryan to make plenty of strong runs out wide for us and attract defenders before linking with Sio, Morgan, Toutai, Loko, and Hayne looming in support too.

    Hopefully Kelly and Chrissy can deliver those guys plenty of good, quick,  early ball.

  • I wonder what odds for Pat to score a try? i might get on that!

    • What odds for Parra to score a try???

  • very articulately put, that paragraph was a delight to read

  • Yeah, for me the writing was on the wall against the Tigers, Sandow skipped to the outside and layed on a great pass that put Ben Smith 1 on 1 with Jacob Miller who was back peddling, my granmother could of busted out of that tackle but Benny couldn't and if you can't take advantage of those situations it just hurts the team.

    Ben Smith is a Champion but the hard call has to be made.
