Why did we have no forwards on the bench yesterday? God I hope we sign some soon... we get demolished in the middle

  Matto Moretti late outs unsure why. Tuaviti also hurt at the moment. Very light on

    Catto apparently had a flu, Moretti has a facial injury from last week

I want Volkman in the 6. He's been excellent in cup. Or Twidle maybe.
- Eli Stephens > Yehez June 10, 2025 at 4:34pm
  
  If he's doing a good job at cup level will be him then, haven't seen much of cup footy

Hopgood needs to be in reserve grade. I do not care if he is in the leadership group. You cannot have someone in your team that is guaranteed to make errors/miss tackles/give stupid penalties every fucking game.
- Eli Stephens > EA June 10, 2025 at 4:53pm
  
  He really does need a shakeup yeah, but at the moment we have bugger all options. Bench him for matto and see if that wakes him up maybe

  It sends a message.
  
  Hell I would even try to get Carrigan so hard and offer up Hopgood and another player to Brisbane.

"Moretti is a great backup, who can come in as required and do a job. He won't be in the top 17, but not everyone can be."

JC replied to Roy tannous's discussion Eels in talks to resign Jack Williams Luca Moretti and Sam tuivati

"I understand why they moved him to prop, his ball playing at lock was atrocious after coming back from his back injury. There was a few of us on here pleading for them to move him to prop to simplify his game and that worked.
He should start next…"

EA replied to Roy tannous's discussion Eels in talks to resign Jack Williams Luca Moretti and Sam tuivati

"yep he is not a battering ram. He needs to be at lock to be fully effective. Needs that offloading game back too.
Koina will hopefully back his debut next year and everyone will see why many here rate him at a top 3 prospect at our club"
