Maka out is surprising but not against it, I like Doorey quite a bit.

  He runs some good lines

Best team we can field. Like the side think we'll give it to brisbane

  Brisbane will be more climatized to the Darwin humidity and they have more robust, fast backline. This might be a difficult task to beat the Broncos. Eels also have a short turnaround and they apparently were very fatigued after the Bulldogs match according to Brad Arthur. Can't really see Eels winning this game

    Brisbane humidity is bad, but nothing like Darwin. Won't favour the Broncos

Surprised that Russell and Dunster are still in the team. Josh Hodgson is going to be affected by the Darwin humidity/temperature as will most of the bigger older players. Broncos players will be more climatized. Dont understand why the Eels keep persisting on having Darwin games unless it against teams of a similar geographic location

  I don't mind Russell and Dunster holding their spots , got to give the young fellas a chance to adjust. Not sure we've got anyone amazingly better to take their spot either.

Seriously Hodgson. 5 day turnaround in the bloody heat in Darwin. My opinion - we need another mobile back rower..
- EA > Troy Wade April 18, 2023 at 4:15pm
  
  Huh. Doorey is our bench backrower. matto can cover there as well. Why do we need more in this line up?

Hodgson and Grieg will burn out in the heat....Dunster will be having a field day with Cobbo. nice one coach
