  We're running out of forwards

Can't believe Papali is named at 6 instead of Hawkins although he's listed as 18th man. Might be late change before game with Hawkins coming in. Can't see Eels winning this at all

  Don't mind them sticking with the same lineup, just challenge the players to step up and do more.

  Tupou a massive out but! Lot of Sam Walker assists are just kicks to him 😂

  Hawkins isn't a 6.. he has zero running game

    Better than Papali at the moment in my opinion. Not as erratic

    Joash ain't a 6 either. We are a better team with Footy Dean and that's what should matter over being some equal opportunity team.

    He plays straight though, Chiefy. Something that Joash needs to learn.
