Hi  guys ,

                If you  remember  and to all young people ( you should  watch it )  , the eels team of the 80's   was brilliantly  creative  and dynamic  in execution  .  Sterlo  , kenny , zip zip ,paul taylor , moseley  , were  all  great  at  set  plays . 

                I   for  one  would  love to see  some  of the fun and  creative  plays  come  back  , 82  GF    i know  its  not the best example   but it is one  most   eels  fans  know well ,  had alot  of  key  plays  like  the wall  ,  they  did  more  kicks in play   and  were never affraid to chance things .

 

 

 

                  So  what plays  would you like  re- introduced  ,did you have a favourite  , like rake for the ball ( benny elias  special)   .

 

                    Me  i want to see  the  wall !!   and far  more variety  in kicking (  all teams  today are missing some key factors  and yes i would be happy to demonstate  kicks ) For instance  their are several ways  to grubber  ,  i dont see the  end  over  end  used ,  it is easy  to target a player  and deliberately have the ball bounce over his  head , your players  gets  it on the other  side  .   This  can be  done  pin point accurate .  A player  like hayne  would target  a full back or  forward  and have  tahu  or reddy  fly thru .

  • unfortunately the game has changed a lot since the 80's, its a lot faster now.
  • I think back then they had to be more creative, play the balls were slower, and the defence were only back 5 mtrs not 10,
  • That is unusual spacing you have used there, what's the deal with that?
  • Racking the ball back is ilegal now.
