As you can see by the names on the list we have many injuries which has resulted many RM players in this team.
- At fullback there is no Twiddle, Papaii or Martyn so Z Hunter is there as the 4th choice.
- There is no AMS, Russel (in NRL for Lomax) or Dunster (not sure what happened to Dunster again!!!) so Newlands played.
- There is no Volkman so M Hunter is the 5/8. Chosen over Lynn.
- In the forwards there is no Grieg, (suspended), Pryke (concussion), Lane (leave),Tuilagi (suspended), Doorey (in NRL for Tuivita), Keir, Lussick, T Brown (all injured)
So as you can see the list of unavailable players is massive. 15 Players !!!

Latu forces an efforce from dogs in theri half. Hands goes crash play. Latu changes direction while catching it and burst through 2 tackles to score.
20-24 after 50min
Mataele earns a penalty of the kick off. On the last eels go left. Hands pass to hunter is a shocker. On the floor and infront of him. Latu picks it up and kicks it. Goes into dogs legs. Nanva picks it up and offloads to Tago who scores. 24-24 after 53min. Eels have socred 1 extra but have not converted everything. Hawkins goaling kicking today since Papalii is not playing.
Thx for the updates mate
Dogs go right and score on the wing. The RM in eels really getting exposed.
Dogs score again. Eels have their RM players in the middle for the past 10mn as Hands and Matto are off the field and we gettign rolled in the ruck.
surprised we are even in this game comparing the team lists, is Latu having a good game?
Ye Latu had a good game. Only players I was really watching with interest were Mataele, Latu, Penisini and Matto.
Eels get ball in dogs 20m for a few sets. After a strong run from Latu. Eels go left and Tago dives into the corner to score.
28-34 after 70min
