A boost for the Eels with star winger Josh Addo-Carr (thumb) back on deck so Sean Russell moves to centre and Brian Kelly drops to the extended bench. Jack Williams slides to prop in place of the suspended J'maine Hopgood with Kelma Tuilagi joining the starting side. Sam Tuivaiti has again been named in No.15 and will be hoping for game time after a reshuffle last week saw Joash Papalii sent into the game when Isaiah Iongi left the field for a HIA.

Nothing like a schooner of reality
The Broncs also got flogged last week and for me we couldn't have got them at a worse time.
They are more athletic bigger faster and stronger than us.
The only key indicators for me are footy basics high completion get to your kick and all the 1% stuff we have to nail.If we put the same shit we put out there last week with the errors on top of the first mentioned we'll get flogged again.
Positives thank fark we don't have to deal with Harry Grant in the ruck again he arse ripped Ryley Smith and co and dominated the ruck thank god we don't see him.
Honestly though after such a poor week 1 surely we can't be as bad as last week surely.So anything that looks half pie better is it really better what it will probably tell me is how far we really are away roster wise vs the best and what we need to do to compete for this year.
Kotoni staggs already saying they will target pezet in attack. Saying we feel we will get some joy down that edge.
Pezet has no excuse with Russel and Fox on his outside this week.
Still can't believe Mark O’Neill let Russell go
O'neill needs to be sacked yesterday.
Another f up
Did he let him go, or was he made an offer too good to refuse.....6 months ago you would have been applauding.......it would have been a committee meeting, not a single person decision.
If we are desperate to keep him and he he wants to stay..... a simple way out is he is getting vertigo and the constant plane travel makes the transfer logistically difficult (don't forget the the terrible injuries he did have)..... i have spoken to Parra, they are willing for me to stay and I understand they would do a deal with a couple of juniors who are shaping up well.
At this point O'Neill steps in and say to "Mal" we have some juniors with considerable promise, we would like to blood them.....lets see what we can do in the development stakes! with you guys.
Eels need to unsettle the Broncos, niggle them, play unpredictable football. Pezet needs to get his act together. Penisini is rocks and diamonds. TDS has potential and is fast over short distance and can be evasive which he needs to use. Smith is either injured or had menopause last week..The forwards really need to play full 80 minutes with aggression. When you see Paulo and other forwards laughing and talking with the Storm players after last week's pathetic game it's not too encouraging
We were coached by the ref to lose big last week.
We've bounced back plenty in our History.
We beat them last year.
injured or Menopause.....you are obviously quiet young Mallee......do you realise what a menopausal woman could do to you as she "ripped" you apart.......Carlo and Mace, explain if we had a team of menopausal women, we wouldn't lose a game.....lots of suspensions mind you LOL
