As soon as he said that (or close to that) to Danika at half time, I knew Eels were about to get pumped very hard. I’d already said to the wife at half time Eels were in trouble. She blames their losses on me when I say shit like that. Told her they should have been at least 20 in front at half time. Bombed tries, turnovers immediately after points. Unfortunately, the writing was on the wall. “Front loaded” their effort in first half to win possession and field position, but had fuck all to show for it.

  • Would prefer have someone like Stone back who competes on every play over many in our overpaid pack who have soft defensive efforts and refuse to chase the play once the play goes past them.

    Defence is effort and discipline which is lacking in our overpaid players.

"Thanks PT.
I was wondering what happened to Ong last year. Its a real shame that an injury can end a junior seasons given how short the competition is. Happened with Sorovi too in round 1.
The forward pack is so stacked. I never thought I would say…"
