  • He has been the best thing to come out of this early season disaster,  we have our future hooker but I would still sign starling if not too expensive,  you need at least 3 hookers in your squad that are capable of playing first grade.

    • I should say long term hooker rather than future hooker. 

    • Starling and Smith combo could work, though both very similar Hookers. I liked it back when we had Riddell/Marsh combo as two different styles of Hookers.

      Plus now we have Walker I wonder if Ryles uses him as a 14 too, maybe some Hooker. Ryles must feel Smith still not quite ready for 80, particularly next week in Darwin so would not be surprised if he starts Walker and uses Hopgood at Hooker again until Walker gets up to speed.

      • I'd keep Walker at Lock so he can connect Brown to the edges. We saw how effective that was against the Dragons. Stick with what works.

        I'm not sure why we don't think Hopgood at Hooker for the first 20m won't work. Looked good yesterday.

  • We got a good young sound. We just need a 6. We need to go hard after wishart or galvin

    • Wishart will struggle here 

    • Need to get Galvin 

    • Did you watch Wishart against the Dragons? He was absolutely useless. I don't see him working outside the Storm system.

      We need to go after Galvin, lock stock and two smoking barrels.

      • I think Wishart is a 9

  • I loved it when Ilias caused a head high on Brown, held onto Brown after and then Smith came running over patting Ilias' and Brown's heads but kept patting Ilias'.

    Im like he's such a pest but seems to time it well.

I see Keon's price as irrelevant (within reason), because he is an absolute no brainer for the Eels.
