  I thought Ennis worked for the Raiders & was part of the coaching staff.

  Call me crazy, but Ennis is absolutely 100% the best possible hooker to get young Mahoney prepared for the finals, both mentally & physically.

  Hope Mahoney gets some tips of Ennis in terms of getting in the heads of opposition aswell.

  Isn't Ennis part of the raiders coaching staff?

  Brilliant move. Well done Parra!

  Reckon he is one of the games best analysts, was actually shocked at his smarts. Will work wonders for Reed.

  Very good move Brad Arthur & co. What happened to Steve Edge?

    Steve Edge could have helped but with the way the game is played these days having help from a more recent player such as Ennis would be much better, and that's not putting Sfeve Edge down either.

        Pops. I would love to see the old contesting rules brought bak in, atm the term hooker is a misnoma the #9 position is simply a dummy half with ball skills. 

        As for Mahoney, I would like to see him back to playing longer minutes, as I think his time on the paddock leaves us somewhat short in both attack and defence, as there is no genuine 9 back up as its too late now to bring MaCilwrick up we are stuck with what we have, unless gutho fills in, while Reed is off.

        I notice on the eels site Fergo is the only player on the injured list now with Stone on the reserves bench and we have 2 fella's by the name of Greg Leleisiuao playing on one wing, in the 2 position and Greg Leleisiuao playing on the other wing at 5 is also Greg Leleisiuao.

         The back 4 forwards are 10. Stefano Utoikamanu;  11. Salesi Fainga’a;   12. Andrew Davey;  13. Oregon Kaufusi

        Would love to see that match as its a good team, with 3 of our future forwards in the run on squad, a first?

  Mahoney has huge potential! Plays with plenty of heart!
