  • Some have said the Eels lack size in the pack so it is worth noting that the class of "big bopper" is basically 187cm+ AND 110kg and Tuivati, T Brown and Maetele all count as big boppers. 

    Learning how to use them is another matter, but a half to a big bopper for a line break on the edge is probably the template? See Walker to Brown for Paps try vs Dogs

    • I thought maetele was hard done by missing out yesterday, I would play all 3 of those young front rowers and leave De Belin out.

  • I think we stick with the bench we had yesterday, give them time to build their skills in those roles. Maybe Sam could even start? When we are so light on for troops, I think sam and teancum did enough to keep their spots. Tds and walker the other two, our strongest potential bence rotation there.

  • I just want to know why our defence is so bad. Is it because of our roster or is it the system in place and it's a coaching issue?

    im pretty sure I read that it's the worst defensive start in our entire history 

    • Poor Coaching and lack of talent 

  • I would like to think our bench could be Walker, Tuivaiti, Brown and Mataele. We need punch through the middle these three could deliver. There is the 18th and 19th men for injuries. If Walker goes next year I assume it's because Doorey will take his place or Hopgood goes back to 13 and plays the full 80min. His time as a front rower in today's game is done. Needs to practice his ball playing and go back to where he started for us.

And that latter suggestion could be a winner. 
I was just surprised that Teacum was so powerful in that area, and it seemed to go unnoticed. Cheers."
