"There's no silver lining to some of these injuries I know, but, it might force the Eels into negotiating more aggressively for recruits.
Or, we'll use injuries to justify results, masking over the issues most saw in pre season, as we did in 2024.

"Why indeed. Mitchell hasn't kicked a goal from the sideline since last years origin.
While Apa can convert from out wide. That decison amazed me as the coach should have known of Twidles kicking record."

Like fmd when lost a centre, winger and 5/8 during the game when we were already in the game without our first choice fullback and 3 outside backs (pensini bro and Samrani)
Sing it from the rooftops. Pezet needs to go. Go to Brisbane today. I don't want him taking up a reserve grade spot either. Pezet is up there with Josh Hodgson in the brain explosion R&R decisions this club consistently makes.
The roster is a mess and it's getting worse.
If there's any longer term injuries to the Broncos spine (possible given Hunt and Reynolds are geriatrics) we should offer them an immediate player swap to get Pezet up there early.
I'd be happy with that. I'd be happy with a no player swap. Just take him now. For free.
More concerned about kelly! Has was woeful! So much dropped ball. We dont have players to come in, were already low on numbers, esp now with baileys season maybe over now as well
Shattered after that loss
Sometimes you just have to put young players in there and see what happens. Plenty don't make the jump to full time top grade but some do and some do great. Only one way to find out and it looks like we have enough injuries to throw caution to the wind and give it a go.
Kelly has always been super average. He's a very average reserve grade footy player - we can't expect anything more. If we didn't have injuries I'd hope he wouldn't be in the side.
Pezet was a stupid gamble and it's backfiring badly. He is bad in attack but worse than bad in defence and makes us constantly play like we're a man short. The judgement shown in getting him here is super questionable and needs some pretty big explaining.
