    • Yes I fear this as well - he will be exploited big time by Storm with Smith’s influence...it’s a worry.

      and thing is he generally has been giving away two or three in a row. It seems worse  at the beginning of his stint. Maybe need to give him the Roy Masters slap in face before he steps out :/

      • Davey can play 80 minutes so if BA swaps Davey and Lane, that means Lane and Marata can be RCG and Paulo replacements. So Evans is not needed. Thus, we should just put Stone on the bench and if someone else needs a break put Stone in. But during this time the outside backs need to step a lot (espically Sivo the lazy bugger) because we can't rely on Stone alot for go foward. 

  • What is the Eels record with Ashley Klein?

  • Big difference to have Nuikore back for us. Think this  is the best possible side we can field and glad Brad opted for Will on bench!

     I don’t understand what’s not to like with Will on bench and can’t see why he isn’t the obvious bench option - particularly as he can cover so many spots and with Dylan fresh back. Will has filled in very well this season...what has he done wrong? Makes a much better option as a sub hooker if needed than anyone else too.

      • Yeah made 40 tackles first week in with no footy under his belt didn’t let us down - thought that spoke of his big ticka and they always come in handy at finals as does versatility. Stone gives his all but not as versatile.

        • Exactly mace - nothing no reserve grade - he will be great if he can scurry around and be evasive - and wiggle through tired players for another try !!!

          • He will. He’ll be so itchy arsed on the bench Carlo rearing to go.

          • That had you holourin did it Carlo.

             

    • Happy Nuikore is back we're not the same team without him

  • Storms Massive forward pack v Parra's Mobile forward pack

    It will be an all out attack, plenty of offloads from parra.
