Only thing in that favour is Martin is primarily a Left Winger so easier transition. But BA wont use him, i feel Lumelume and Dunster will be used before him.
I cannot believe that Dunster is even in the conversation....we all saw last week at the first trial, he is deadset slow! just because he poked his head though a hole yesterday he is seemingly back into contention. Suicide!!
My belief is that our Manly centre import is "headier" than any logical replacements and he would do a good job on Sivo's wing because he reads the game, has sound defence and can run twice as quick as Dunster.....he would also be very attuned to scoring the same tries as Sivo....you know the 90% that do not require Sivo's strength, don't lose sight of the fact that Sivo does know how to put himself in a position to score a try, even if he is a dumbass!
That said I also like Hugh's idea of playing Ethyn Martin.....this is the way young breakouts get a look in, my guess is that BA is not brave enough, but I love the idea.
As much as Im fed up with Sivo's lack of involvement, anybody on this website tossing Dunster's name should be shot. That name should never don a 1st grade jersey for the Eels, especially in the outside backs.
Sivo is purely overrated in my opinion. I wasn't aware until now that he's been suspended for 3 weeks! Absolutely ridiculous! Have any other teams in the trials had players suspended? Seems the Eels have already been targeted before the season even begins! Disgraceful really! I don't believe during trial matches players should be suspended at all. I fine would be more feasible! I hope this isn't another 2023 where Eels players are suspended all the time.
"Cleary is trusting the process after 4 back to back premierships and another on the way. Their team just walloped a team by 50, the team they walloped just put 50 on us. The process they're trusting has proven incredible success behind it... that's…"
"Agree Muttman, barely anything to be overly excited about like most seem on here seem to be.
Wish they would announce the signing of a Casey McLean or something of that standard."
"Coryn, I suggest you go back to the blog asking if anyone is losing faith and have a read over some of the comments made after our loss to the Panthers. Are the 1eyedeel community in a state of panic? Are they trusting the process? Are they sticking…"
"Listening to the Clearys in the presser they sound very much like Bill Walsh the famous 49er nfl coach.
Cleary Snr talks about the process and preparation more so than anything else week to week getting the players up to perform and the result…"

Arthur sometimes has no idea

Well said and absolutely agree👍
Well put matey.
Sivo is one of those players that I have mixed feelings about.
He can be a big moment player then one of the Laziest big men I've seen.
Can pull off a big defensive effort then be a liability.
Unfortunately Haze will come in and he's not 1st grade standard

Ofahiki Ogden would run him down on the wing
That's not an exaggeration Ogden would beat him over anything more than 5 metres.
Haha extreme but I like it...
