I reckon the reason the eels played better when Moses went off is that they all realised they seriously needed to lift without him. Jai looks decent, but there needs to be similar effort and understanding everyone has to compensate for his loss.
should be a good game to watch!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Field selection is a ruse and that Taka starts and Field comes from the bench.
People are strange Mack.
Maybe Field will start game to tap into our fast starts and second phase opportunities. Then possibly slotting into dummy half at say 30 minutes to give Reedy a spell and allow taka to throw another skilful big body at the line. Certainly will be dangerous just with the increased pace around the middle.
If Alvaro is not injured, he must have pissed BA off massively with his first effort in the top grade this season!
Gowie the reliable in.
Field I have no idea what he's about but judging from the responses here, who am I to judge.
Should be interesting.
I'm not sure Field will start. He'll be most effective at the backend of both halves .I reckon BA will start Taka and depending how the possession in the first half pans out Field would enter the fray on the back of momentum in our favour and not before.
Although I'm interested to see how he goes and hope he sees a lot of game time. It's surprising the Dragons didn't bring him through better then they did , he's deadset got spiders on him.
He could prove to be the X factor we're in need of off the bench especially come semi finals. Speed you can't coach and I love when we've got blistering speed in the squad it opens up so many more avenues of attack especially in the middle third . When you've got forwards tired defending six again sets they won't handle this kid fresh through the middle.
Im interested in the plan of how we utilise him. He's not a game manager so Brown will have to do that . Communication will be interesting this week . In what situation does Field out call the ball off Brown ? Is he playing what he sees ,adlib or is he only allowed the ball if Brown sees nothing on his side.
The Mahoney , Brown and Field combination is going to take most of my attention Friday night . Guthos got to fit into the mix somewhere as well . Can't wait to find out how it all gels.
I went down to saleyards to watch them train
No one there except for some dude doing yoga!
i like the inclusion of Jai Feild
He is quick and has an awesome step, unsure about his kicking game though
They train at Kellyville now Mudskip. They have done so all year. That's the new centre of excellence.
I did think that was the case , I was just in the area and was hoping they were there 😆
cheers
