I thought the same thing Fui. I heard a few days ago that Mahoney wont be ready and now BA is saying he will be. If he is then I would be worried about his fitness. He wont be 80min ready so do we go with Stoney on the bench or the switch with Gutho filling in during the middle of the game. Also who replaces Browny? I hope its not Terepo.
Actually even though I agree his hands let him down sometimes Terepo does have the ability to play as a ball playing forward and before Brown came to the club often played that middle link role. It's quite strange actually Terepo seems to have quite good skills with his pass before the line but has really got a simple fumble in him.
Cant fault his effort however he has terrible hands. Often when coming off our own line. And as much as he runs hard I dont think he bends the line that much
Peni's handling has been quite good the last few years....
But serously - compare his error rate with the rest of our forwards and I think you will be surprised. He had a bad run once and got a rep that has dogged him since. You f one goat...
"Old vs New. Pre 1998 Eels best team wearing the original Gold Jerseys vs post 1998 Eels best team wearing today's Blue jersey. The best from both eras playing against each other in a virtual stadium online. Jack Gibson coaching Gold, Brian Smith…"
"He played 134 of his 264 games as a winger. Didnt complain once like a Lomax when required on the wing. Was a team man through and through. He deserves to be in the Modern Day Best Eels team somewhere. Perhaps now that we have 6 interchange players…"
" I understand the modern day theory. It has to be the players that would work in the modern day game, But the theory should include how a player from the say 80s would perform given the modern day technology and training regime.

"Sorry should have clarified, 1998 NRL era.
I stuck to what i knew best. I love Luke Burt, still my favourite ever player, hence the dp. He didn't have that flashy skills like Hayne and was undersized but to accomplish 260+ games is an achievement…"

I noticed his handling improved when he actually looked to use the ball.

I mean, who is really going to be 80 minutes ready?

Exactly my thought. His handling is better than many other plauers. But it feels like he is stuck in 4th gear for a last few years.
Agree- especially late last year
My point is that over the last few years Peni's error rate is not higher than other forwards- haven't seen the stats - just my impressions
