- Gutho
- Dunster (just be better than Blake and defend well. Not even the ball wanted to go to Blake)
- Simmo
- Peninsi
- Russel
- DB (you fked up our season you DH)
- Moses
- Paulo (in the oppo red zone he is happy to have big shots. He is not a 950k player.)
- Lussick (start with him. Hands does better of the bench)
- Ofa (As Coryn said you can't have both paulo and Ogden on the field defending. Which means u can't really have Greig either. We really don't have a good option. I like Moretti he reminds me of Leota but probably too young in his career to start)
- Carty
- Matto (he is great of the bench but we need him on the edge for defence. Davey and Asi defending together with Blake on the wing... idk what ba was thinking)
- Hopgood
- Hands
- Greig
- Moretti
- Makatoa
i will be looking how Murchie goes in reserve grade. Surely he is worth a shit in the backrow over Davey.
Replies
Waqa is absolute shit got no idea why he is selected on wing can't catch for the life of him
Waqa is unplayable .
Blokes have ups and downs but he has no confidence, isn't fit and its mentally shot to pieces. I hear Dunster was injured last week so maybe we're looking at old wonky eyes.
We looked very flat against Melbourne, I think playing the cowboys the week before in hot and humid weather then travelling to Melbourne took a lot out of us. I think we need to bring in some other players in for dragons game, and give some players a rest.

Carty, Matterson and Hopgood can play the full 80 so 3 props on the bench just about covers the loss of RCG.
Davey can not be picked again. He is a liability in attack and defence.
I was happy to give Blake a shot but he has been fucking woeful.
We need speed in the Backline which is why I have gone with Lumelume over Dumpster.
Dunster nor Lumelume played today for Cup, 40-4 loss mind you.
More likely why Blake is being persisted with. Which begs the question, do you just play Loizou or Miller-Stephen? Loizou had raps but was in and out of Cup and Flegg and had injuries, now recently has held his spot in cup and playing ok, see what we have, he is off-contract and could keep him as a development player as not many clubs would want him.
Idk what's wrong with Dunster. He hasn't been playing cup. Is it because of the turn around to the dragons game? If he isn't available, I would give anyone else a go over Blake. At least they can't do worse and not leaving the club like Blake. Idk how AMS will handle the physicality in the front line even on the wing. Will watch the highlights to see.
The only bright side is our Flegg side beat storm who were first on the ladder
Hear me out y'all.
clearly our wing spot is the major problem. I just can't see either Dunster, Waqa or Lume Lume solving this problem. I know Asi had a shit game but I think put him at centre and Simonsson on the wing. We have an extra ball player and strike with Asi in the centres. Simmonson is a better winger than he is a centre. He is a runner and finisher.
Two problems with this.
1. Asi is an average defender and would be a massive liability at centre.
2. Do you not remember last year when Simonsson was on the wing?
He was without a doubt the worst winger in the NRL. He is by far a better centre than he ever was or will be a winger.
Agree with the part about Simonsson being not a great winger but is a pretty decent centre. Yes, he needs to work a bit more on his defence but he is the Eels best option there.
I think the Eels should look at Asi on the wing if they aren't going with Dunster. I think Waqa has alread checked out and probably wants out. He is playing about as bad as I have ever seen him play which is saying something.
