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.
"Pops, what a win. Some great points here as always.
Blown away by the Eels defence especially - the 1%ers - kick chase, line speed, contact, and our work from marker, no one was switching off & the effort was huge for 80mins.
The middle: As you…"
"EA that's a good point, I'll explain it like this. Junior played 55Minutes, had an 88% tackle efficiency, Jack Williams played 80 minutes, topped the tackle count had a 97% tackle efficiency . With the way our team has been terrible in defence of…"
"What a difference it is to have a referee who doesn't nit pick with 6 agains. Both teams fought 'til the end, didn't have to fight fatigue for long periods. I wouldn't mind betting the ref will get dropped next week for going against protocol."

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...
