The Point when the Eels lose their Way

I've been a supporter of Joseph Paulo in the past but I've seen too many times what happens when he comes on and how our team disintegrates.

We were doing well yesterday and then Joseph Paulo comes on and it seems everybody gets confused about their role. 

All our other forwards just clock off because they have no idea what he is going to do and all play heads side to side

I like other people cannot blame Sandow for yesterday. I blame the lack of communication and skill that happens when BA brings Paulo on to act as another playmaker.

Why do we need Corey Norman, Chris Sandow, Nathan Peats and Joseph Paulo.

BA seriously needs to reconsider his game plan and decide who is a forward and who is a half.

The Eels are good when forwards are going forward, backs get early ball and play makers can take ownership of playmaking.

No Offense to Seffa but his playing style simply just doesn't fit.

If BA can't see this by now then I don't see much point in turning up to home games for the rest of the year.

If BA want's to talk about error rates and completion he needs to look at his own selection choices.

  • An excellent summary...there certainly is a pattern of dysfunction when the crab comes on.....

  • Totally agree
  • As I have said before. Move Paulo to 6, Norman to 1 and our issues are solved.
