Greg Leleisiuao has dropped off with Gower
Surely Fergo cant play - he musy bein a world of hurt
He'll get needled up. According to BA, the injury can't get worse, it's just about pain tolerance.
I have a very good feeling about this game, Parra will be on fire, 30 d 12. Mom Moses.
If the Eels are to stay in touch with the top 8 they need to win this game against the Tigers. They also need to win to give a positive emphasis on Bankwest being a homeground fortress. They play the Knights in Newcastle next week and they dont have a good record against the Knights and then they play the Dragons at Bankwest who are in good form with 4 straight wins and the return of Corey Norman. A win tonight is imperative.
Agree Monto. Next week against NCLE is going to be a real test, eels have not got a good record against them and the way they are playing may give our side a bit of complacency care in mindset needs to be at the forefront. Klemmer will be wanting to get over our pack as well.
I'd switch Taka and Salmon, during this game and see how it goes. Give Salmon a shot at proving his our 4 of the future.
This is where our coaching staff let themselfs down a little, persisting with things that aren't working. Yes Will Smith the back up is out injured, so whoever is playing in the halfs at Wenty slots in.
