"Yep Tuivaiti gets through enough work to earn that starting spot."
"He got wider in attack, particularly towards Mam side of the field that helped him poke the nose through and make metres. Brisbane were back peddling the whole second half bar one set on our own line where Samrani stayed down and Reynolds went off."
"De Belin looked way better in his 2nd stint. But his sole purpose is defence, in that portion of the game where Brisbane middles tried to wrestle back momentum in the middle he was solid in defence. "

Watmough and any other we have brought to parra so far this year dont do anything different that a local junior does . They only thing they are is overpriced and have no passion for parra and just want money . Keep money for juniors. Ive seen it in harold matts and sg ball they play for nothing but the love of the club and there district
Watmough is different to any local junior we have. His 278 first grade games would place him behind only Nathan Hindmarsh as the most experienced man to have played at the Eels. He's a Premiership winner, SOO winner and World Cup winner. Something we had in only Jarryd Hayne. You can't manufacture experience. You either wait for it, or you buy it. We've needed experience in the forwards ever since Cayless retired.
All the players we've bought have been bought for their first grade experience. They've all been in the system for a while and they're used to the daily grind. We have talented juniors, yes, but we need to ease them into first grade or we risk burning them out and their form dropping.
Couldn't agree more. The other mans grass is always greener. Our good juniors will eventually make it.
WITH OTHER CLUBS AS USUAL
We seen the young forwards get a go this season & I think it is time for the backs to be given an opportunity.
If you look at my line ups I've included Matterson, J Folau & Faraimo in 1st grade for next year. I've also said a number of times I think ZDC will get a go some time during the season. Davis & Goodall won't be too far away either.
Is this blog elite/dribble.com in disguise?
Fekk me, the eels have had the best crop of juniors in their system forever and a day, exactly what has that achieved in the best part of the last 3 decades? fekk all, thats what.
I'ts important to upgrade ur squad by buying/recruiting from outside, it helps with developing culture, experienced,hardened players if identified correctly can bring that and it also helps with keeping players within the existing squad on their toes.
