  • Just seen our bench.  Raiders by 10.  Sorry, but Raiders have always been one of our hoodoo teams and now this.

    • Agree, will be an extra effort for the Eels to win this. 

  • Haze is in the 17 purely because he is jersey 18. A decision will be made tomorrow I think Greig gets his shot

    • Hope you're right offside. I like what Creig would bring to the bench. I saw him play agaist Saints last week and he awesome.

    • Agree to this, Mahoney will play 80 minutes and 4  forwards on the bench typical Brad Arthur style and we would need a big pack to take on the Raiders all signs are leading towards Creig's Debut.

  • Emu Greig will get the nod off the bench. 

  • Kaufusi gets two weeks for his hit on Matterson and Matterson gets four weeks for being hit by Kaufusi. 

    Seems about right.

    We are scraping the barrel if Dunster is on the bench.

     

    • Agree! The side doesn't look good in my opinion with the current bench. If Eels lose tomorrow they could almost be out if the top 8 depending on other games.

      • In other news the Roosters just got spanked by the Storm and Walker was bog average.

        • Don't tell Fong that
