Team list Tuesday

Posted by Glenn Lifetime Eel on February 28, 2017 at 10:58am

Today our official team list come out, I believe at least 20 players will be named which is pruned down to the 17 that take the field.

Unfortunately Edwards has been suspended indefinitely (and may even be sacked by club) and Vave is still not fully recovered from his shoulder injury (is this an old Manly injury or new?).

With the above in mind I thought I would pre-empt BA in his probable 17 to take the field on Sunday.

French
Radradra
Mennings
Taka
Hoffman/Gennings
Gutherson
Norman
Mannah
King
Matagi
Ma'u
Scott
Moeroa
Fritchard
Kritchard*
Brown
Gower/Tanginoa

* BAs preference is for 1 hooker but think he will have 2 for first few rounds before he decides which way to go.

Tanganoa will never crack a consistant spot in first grade. Hes too lazy. Doesnt have enough aggression. Hes too inconsistant and too small.

1. French
2. Semi
3. Jennings
4. Taka
5. Hoffman
6. Gutho
7. Norman
8. Matagi
9. IDG
10. Mannah
11. Mau
12. Scott
13. Meroa
14. King
15. Pritchard
16. Brown
17. Gower

IDG Gower and Hoffman will start the season due to the team having so many new faces and BA will be looking for as much 2016 eels experience and 1st grade experience as he can get out there to start the season and get things setteled

  Pretty close to what I expect as well Lisa. But I think Kaysa may get the nod on the bench (especially with Kenny out) over King at this stage. Will be interesting to see though. Both may even be picked in the 21...
