Next week line up + Talking point

How are we lining up next week with the potential ramifications from this week;

  • Simmonson is out with category 1 concussion
  • RCG will be out for a while. Seems like  severe groin injury.
  • Hopgood will be suspended knowing the NRL.
  • Blake I think is injured as welll
  1. Gutho
  2. Sivo
  3. Asi
  4. Penisini
  5. Russel/Dunster/Lumelume
  6. DB
  7. Moses
  8. Paulo
  9. Hands
  10. Greig
  11. Lane
  12. Doorey
  13. Matto
  14. Carty
  15. Makatoa
  16. Murchie
  17. Ogden

Questions:

  • How the fuck does someone (Russel) who played fullback his whole career look so bad under the high ball.
  • Will BA revert to Russel centre and Dunster on the wing (i believe so)
  • Will BA have the balls to drop JH permanently. I don't believe so. I hope Hands errors don't effect the decision. It was a one off.
  • Does Asi finally get a spot in the 17?
  • Does Carty drop to the utlity to give Doorey who has shown promise another shot

 

A talking point:

WTF is going on between DB and Lane. When DB threw the ball out the back for Moses however Lane got in the way and knocked it on, they looked really annoyed with each other. There combos this year has been so ordinary. DB hasnt been able to put Lane into half a gap. Than Lanes has been getting better but still had some offloading issues. DB looks way to comfortable with BA as coach and his long contract. Yes BA sort of called him out but honestly send him to reserve grade to actually fire him up if that is what is needed. DB obviously doesnt love the game and only plays it for the social life and money.  Doorey and Moses who have only had a few games together look way more connected and cohesive than DB and Lane.

  • I will say that Simonson was actually showing some promise at centre. I believe we have our centres in Penisini and Simmo. However, we need another winger. Russel and Dunster rnt the answer rn. Maybe in the future. Both coming back from injuries and havent had a proper run in reserve grade in a while. 

    • Lumelume is better than both in my opinion. Don't know why Brad Arthur didn't persist with him. 

  • Rouse Hill Rhinos u/20's are leading the NSW Conference Competition. 8 wins from 9 games. Perhaps some of them could play better then some of our pretenders. At least they would know what a winning culture and winning feeling is like. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • BA coaching style he wont drop brown. I think brown will turn it around soon. I think BA will also put carty in the centres with doorey starting with Greg, hands will be named 14 but will start game day. I say the eels will be on the hunt for a back line player 

    • I will say it over and over. Kayal Iro is the centre we need. Jeral Skelton and Blakw Wilson from doggies are the wingers we should also be looking at. Why tf the club not looking at them.

      • Great options they would jump at first grade opportunity. Ba doesn't buy reserve graders. That's why he won't drop dylbags and Jh..

        • I thought the hit on the club was that they only buy reserve grades / fringe NRL players.

          • I don't think those blokes have any first grade experience. Not in the backs.  I can't think of 1 without firsts experience. Simmo had a few. 

            • True. Iro I think has made his debut but nothing more.

      • Yeah I ageee with all these. Sweep in like other clubs do and offer them a spot asap
