1. Papalii - not a fullback, just a adhd kid. Replace with Apa if Iongi not available.
2. Kelly - butter fingers, trash pickup from loser titans. Replace with Russell.
3. Samrani -okay.
4. Russell - can't pass to JAC. Useless at centre.
5. JAC - is JAC.
6. Volkman - believes his own hype, turnstile, replace with Papalii, can't be any worse.
7. Moses - wtf with the goal kicking. Take the tee off him ffs.
8. Moretti - decent, can forgive his drop ball per game.
9. TDS - passes are not crisp, a poor mans Reed Mahoney when he ignores Moses' calls.
10. Guymer - meh.
11. Tuilagi - why, just fking why.
12. Williams - great player when we are winning.
13. JDB - offer him back to st merge.
14. Walker - only one trying.
15. Paulo - soft hands, soft body, run hard for once!
16. Pryke - okay, don't pass buddy.
17. Mataele - start him.

The whole back line needs replacing if they are to be any chance. The current backline should all be fighting it out for a backup spot.
Ryles just said Iongi is back.
Need more than Longi is this team. Moses captaincy has definitely affected his game.Start bringing in lower grade players that might be the future players as the Eels aren't finals bound. So get some of these younger players ready now
Perhaps these High-quality players coming thru are just an illusion...a Mirage..a cruel trick of the light that plays on the eyes of the desperate, promising relief before crushing the last of their hope with a mouthfull of sand
Possible but seeing some fresh faces would at least be brighter for the Eels fans to look at for a change
Ok but who do you pick tonight? In backline particularly? Before tonight Volkman was doing ok so makes sense to keep him too.
I mean in general. They need to recruit and potentially give some juniors a run. Go hard on the recruitment and spend the rest of the year testing out whatever juniors are available.
I am seriously lost for words. Our roster is so bad it's not even funny. You either throw the young ones in or go pay overs for talent like Herbie and some serious forward pack leaders. I hope we don't resign Jr. he is not our alpha male anymore.
Tonight and over the last couple weeks, I would have had Teancum Brown for Guymer, Nanva for Kelly, Apa at fullback and Papalii to 5/8.
Luckily Iongi will be back. Let's see if Ryles still sticks with Volkman, Guymer and useless Kelly.
Yep, those changes you suggest probably would have made a difference but I think Ryles isn't a good coach to be honest. I mean seriously look at the errors this team keeps making every week. Ball skills, ball handling, practicing holding the ball in wet damp conditions, practicing night time games versus day games, tackling, quick play the balls, goal line defence!
He can only work with the top 30 he has available . It's honestly a miracle we have been competitive for 50-60 minutes in most games . The people building the roster - I'm not sure he's involved but I'd say he is - are letting us down .
